How To Handle Friendship Bombing, According To Therapists

It’s exciting to make a new friend. You get to share your life story with a new person (and learn about theirs). You have a new buddy to bring to yoga class, invite to movies, and introduce to your favorite band. But healthy friendships develop over time—not overnight.

Hi there! My husband and I are on our path to parenthood, and after facing the challenges of infertility, I decided to become a fertility coach and concierge. Our journey has inspired me to support others who may be experiencing something similar. While we're still on this road ourselves, I wanted to share our story and be a source of encouragement for those navigating their own paths to parenthood. Let’s take this journey together!
