0:52What was the biggest identity foreclosure you've had in the last few years? Getting rid of my Abercrombie jeans from when I was 18. truly I I remember how expensive those suckers were and how I saved every pretty penny and I told myself someday they'll fit again and guess what they don't and they're not even in style anymore but I literally no I mean that was part of it but I think for me um moving back home which is something I never thought I'd move back home and um I had this vision after our second loss I I hired someone to help me unpack my grief because I was like, I'm angry. I hate my body.

1:34I don't know what to do. And she led me through this exercise, and we were sitting together. And we would get on the phone once a week, and every time I wanted to hit ignore. I just didn't want to do the call. Didn't want to deal with it, yeah. Yeah, because I was just like, I know this is going to suck. And we're on the phone, and she's like, okay, we're going to do a little exercise, and I want for you to close your eyes and breathe. So she's like having me breathe. And she's like, I want for you to envision like the most vibrant version of yourself. Like you are happy and energized and alive.

2:07And she said this line and it was like, like a dial on a stereo. I want for you to turn your intuition up and turn the noise of the world down. And I was like envisioning all of this. And in the vision, I saw this little girl and pancakes and a Persian rug. and I was wearing jeans and a white linen shirt. And I opened my eyes after the vision. I was like bawling. And I said to her, she goes, you know, what came up for you? And I was like, I think we have to move. And she was like, what do you mean? And I was like, I love the house we're in, but there's this bedroom and it was always going to be our baby's bedroom.

2:50I get so emotional. And I'm like, every time I walk by it, I just think about what hasn't happened. Yeah. And I was like, I just this vision of like this long table and like this rug and this baby and like I see it that day because I'm a quick action taker. You're like looking at houses, you're like. I get on Zillow and I type in Duluth, Minnesota and Drew and I had never talked about moving home. Like it was like maybe we'll move to Minneapolis someday, like, you know, kind of stay in the city. Where were you living at this time? We were in a really small town in Wisconsin called fort atkinson and we had great friends and stuff but we didn't have the support of a family and i found this house on zillow and i text my family text thread as a joke and say maybe this will be the kutcher craftsman like it was this beautiful home in minnesota we had never talked about drew is out on a run and his phone starts blowing up because my family's like move home he's like what we never talked about this yeah he gets home he's like what is going on in your family text thread like it's going crazy and I was like did you see the listing he's like what listing and I was like saw this house in Minnesota and I thought he would be like you know maybe three years from now and he's like oh we could do that and I was like what and you know it's crazy because I didn't necessarily move because of the vision but it was like the first thing where I was like where we are is not working for me the craziest part is this Louis we didn't move for like seven eight months the day after we moved in i took a positive pregnancy test wow it was it was literally i like i always say i'm like it's like i would like had to move home and like be grounded at home like it just felt like this like crazy moment where it was like i'm home and i'm ready and like this is it and that next day you moved in that's crazy and here's the thing that's so wild about my journey because you know one in four women experiences pregnancy loss um is that when you're in it i mean it is dark i can imagine and i often think about it's like if you were like walking through like a warehouse and it's just like pitch black and you're literally just like inching step by step like you don't know where you're going and it's like you just you have a flashlight so you can only see like directly in front of you and once you get through it it's like somebody turned the lights on and you see where you were and why you were there.

5:17And I hate the line, like, everything happens for a reason because when you are in it, there is zero reason. Yeah, there's no reason why that happened. But our, like, three-year waiting season, I can see now with hindsight, was required for me to build a life that supported what I was waiting for. When I first was pregnant with my first pregnancy, I was shooting 25 weddings a year. I remember we were in Hawaii and I looked up the due date and I was like I can't be due then I have like four more weddings I mean I like have to cancel on these like I literally was like like you were sabotaging your body it was like I didn't know how I would do it you know what I mean like body's like we're not gonna let you do it then yeah like it's crazy and then the second time around was a huge wake-up call because I found out that I had lost the baby but my body was still pregnant and I had to show up and shoot a wedding the next day.

6:16And so when I look at those losses, they were massive teachers in my life. But by the time I was pregnant for the third time, I had built a life where I was able to move and I wasn't tied to anything and I had no clients to answer to. And I had built that. And so there's this quote that I heard from a preacher and it's like, sometimes the season of waiting is just as important as what it is that we're waiting for. I think a lot of people find themselves in seasons of waiting and it's really easy to want to like twiddle your thumbs and just sit there, right? I worked while I waited and I don't mean like I hustled.

6:52I worked towards the life I wanted for when the time came. And it was so evident when it happened.
