Your Journey to Motherhood Is Still Sacred—
Even If It Looks Different
🌸 The Miracle of IVF — And the Bill That Could Change Everything
How I spent $50K for my miracle baby… and why future mamas may not have to
Becoming a mother was never something I took for granted.
I dreamed about it, visualized it, surrendered it to the Universe.
But when the road to conception wasn’t as smooth or sacred as I’d hoped, I had a decision to make:
Cling to my idea of how it “should” happen…
or open to the way it was meant to unfold.
For me, that path led to IVF—and ultimately, to my miracle baby.
IVF Wasn’t Plan A—But It Was My Sacred Yes
IVF is not for the faint of heart.
It’s emotional. Vulnerable. Brave. Expensive.
And for many of us, entirely out of pocket.
I paid over $50,000 to walk the path that led to my son.
And when he arrived?
Every injection, every early morning blood draw, every tear...
It all became sacred.
But here’s what I’ve learned:
There is nothing unnatural about doing everything in your power to bring life into this world.
Love is natural. Science can be divine.
And babies don’t care how they arrive—they care that you never gave up.
So if you’re holding back because of outdated beliefs…
Please don’t let those beliefs steal precious time.
🌿 Supporting the Journey: Mind, Body & Spirit
Before I said yes to IVF, I made a commitment to prepare my body for the journey.
I wanted to feel aligned, nourished, and whole.
That’s where Seed Fertility came in—and I can’t recommend it enough.
Their approach combines modern science with ancient wisdom, giving you practical, holistic tools to:
✨ Balance hormones
✨ Improve egg quality
✨ Support IVF success
✨ Nourish your womb energetically and physically
Seed is the perfect way to align with your miracle before it happens.
My #1 IVF Recommendation: Dr. Kettle, San Diego Fertility
If you’re considering IVF, let me save you the research and emotional overwhelm.
I highly recommend Dr. Kettle or any of the doctors at San Diego Fertility Center—truly one of the best in the country.
✅ Highest success stats
✅ Gentle, compassionate care
✅ A 3-try success guarantee—or your money back
✅ A team that sees you as a whole person, not just a chart
Dr. Kettle made me feel like I wasn’t just undergoing a procedure—I was stepping into a sacred partnership to bring my baby earthside.
🏖 Make It a Healing Destination: Del Mar, California
If you're traveling for fertility care, consider turning your IVF experience into a soulful retreat.
Del Mar is one of the most beautiful and calming coastal towns in Southern California—ideal for rest, reflection, and energetic preparation.
Here are a few of my favorite spots to stay:
L’Auberge Del Mar – luxurious, oceanfront, and peaceful
The Lodge at Torrey Pines – cozy and upscale with nature vibes
Hotel Indigo – stylish and walkable with beach-town charm
Imagine starting your fertility journey with barefoot beach walks, ocean air, yoga, and the support of a world-class team.
Hope Has a New Ally: The Newsom IVF Bill
As someone who paid $50K out of pocket, I cried when I heard the news:
Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a bill requiring insurance providers in California to cover IVF treatments.
This is groundbreaking.
✅ IVF is now considered essential—not elective
✅ Families can grow without financial devastation
✅ The path to parenthood just became so much more accessible
This changes everything.
🌙 From My Heart to Yours
IVF gave me the greatest gift of my life.
Seed Fertility helped me align body and spirit.
Dr. Kettle and his team held me through every step.
And now, the Newsom bill brings hope to the next generation of mamas walking this path.
If you're still holding the dream of motherhood in your heart, please know:
✨ You are not broken
✨ You are not alone
✨ You are not out of time
Your miracle may look different than you imagined.
But it's still coming.
And now… there’s more support than ever to help you say yes.
With love and unwavering belief,
Kristin 💛
P.S.
Consider a Fertility Staycation in Europe
If your state doesn’t yet require insurance to cover IVF, and you’re feeling stuck or stretched financially, one option to explore is a fertility “staycation” or medical travel to Europe. Many women are doing this: combining IVF treatment with beautiful destinations, lower costs, and excellent medical care.
It’s possible to fly, stay somewhere healing, get treatment, and perhaps even enjoy a little rest and reflection by the sea. This isn’t about escaping—it’s about accessing options and honoring your body, your timeline, and your baby’s.

Here are some of the countries and clinics that are known for offering IVF with high standards and lower costs. The rates vary depending on what’s included (meds, labs, donor eggs, etc.), so always ask for full-package pricing.

Where to Stay + How to Plan
If you’re heading to Europe for IVF, here’s some tips to make it more than medical—it can be restorative, too:
Choose a peaceful destination where you can heal in between treatments.
Book a lovely hotel, with ocean views or countryside peace.
Allow extra days for rest, journaling, gentle movement, ocean air.
Consider combining check-ups with simple rituals you love (beach walks, herbal baths, quiet mornings).
Final Thoughts
You deserve every possible chance to bring your baby into this world—without burning out, without giving up your hope because of cost or insurance barriers.
Don’t let “not insured yet” stop you from exploring the miracle. Whether you go local with Dr. Kettle in San Diego, or hop a plane to Prague, Spain, or Greece—there are options.
Your miracle is worth every investigation, every phone call, every courageous step.
With love, fierceness, and faith,
Kristin 💛
