Share Your Personal Story

Your story is important to the mission of preserving stories for the future.

What is the power of storytelling? Telling your personal story in a way that others can understand can have an impact on removing harmful stigmas associated with infertility and family building options. It’s not so much the details of the process, but instead how your story impacted your life and others around you. If we are going to change the narrative, we need to tell our own story it in a way that will create change. Become a powerful storyteller.

Need some inspiration?
Here are some suggestions on how to become a powerful storyteller:

Storytelling prompts:

1. Infertility changed my life by…
2. My infertility had an impact on…
3. What you don’t know is…
4. The truth about trying to conceive/building a family is…
5. I’m a family building professional...
