Infertility, Depression & Alcohol with Maureen Benkovich
Manage episode 365906008 series 2907674
This week Wendy is joined by Maureen Benkovich. Maureen shares her moving personal story as she and Wendy have an honest discussion about infertility, pregnancy loss, grief, depression, and women’s drinking.
Maureen is someone who has experienced the pain of infertility and knows firsthand how easy it is to get stuck in a cycle of shame and blame when it comes to grief, depression, and drinking. For years, she used alcohol as a way to cope with these challenges, and it only made things worse.
But with help, compassionate support, and the latest neuroscience-based techniques, Maureen was able to break free from her patterns and transform her life. Now, as a life coach, she is committed to helping others do the same.
Topics include:
Maureen’s journey through multiple miscarriages and fertility treatments
The painful decision to stop treatment
Her failed adoption and the grief that followed
Using alcohol to deflect the pain of that grief and friends’ pregnancies
Her struggles with depression and anxiety,
How Maureen found herself and peace on the other side of alcohol.
