We made this page to show the honest and real words of our alumni. These aren't reviews to sell a program. They are small sampling of the honest stories of life change and hope.
This experience gave me words and skills I needed better navigate my infertility journey within myself and my relationships. Because of this group, I have been able to better voice my needs and set boundaries with myself and others.
Being connected with others who truly understand my feelings and emotions first hand was a blessing. I didn't have to explain my entire backstory behind my feelings. I was given a safe place to share and process my grief without having to worry about being seen as broken.
Our group still continues to meet regularly even after our process group has ended. Having these girls in my corner because of Uniquely Knitted is something I'll forever be grateful for. Thank you Doug and Jesse for the life changing work you're doing for each one of us every single day 💗
This experience was more than I could have hoped for. To find other people in the world that have felt what I have felt is impossible to put into words. When you feel very alone, having a group that gets you is priceless.
I was able to push through some of my hang ups and emotions that I had been living in for a long time. It was exhausting and exhilarating at the same time. I appreciate having a facilitated group to give us structure and to receive feedback. Our group continues a text thread and to meet online every 2 weeks or so to keep up, which has been amazing.
I think "meaningful" is the best word to describe my experience. Building relationships and community with others who are having the same experiences, living the same struggles, and searching for people who really get it
No exaggeration: Process group changed my life.
It was that summer camp feeling all over again. I was so excited for each week's meeting, I genuinely loved all the women in my group, and made life long friends that I deeply connect and care about.
It was the first safe place for me during my infertility journey.
Participating in this process group has been a profoundly transformative experience for me. It provided me with a safe and nurturing space where I could openly share my struggles, fears, and hopes with others who truly understood what I was going through. The sense of community and solidarity has been incredibly comforting and helped me feel far less isolated in my journey.
The emotional support I received from both the facilitators and fellow participants has been invaluable. I found great support and comfort in hearing others’ stories, which mirrored my own in many ways, and in the shared feelings that infertility leaves you with. The group’s empathy and encouragement helped me navigate the complexities of infertility with a bit more hope and strength.
Overall, this experience has been an essential part of my processing and healing. It has equipped me with coping strategies, emotional support, and a network of people who understand the unique challenges of infertility.
I am deeply grateful for the connections I’ve made and the support I’ve received.
This experience was truly life-changing.
I have tried 6 weeks of therapy previously and I just felt like I didn’t know what I needed and the professional was not well equipped in infertility. This group gave me space to share, confidence to be vulnerable, the tools I needed to function in my daily interactions, and I overall just felt like this was progress.
It was amazing to be able to tell our story and feel heard and understood by others who get it. The skills we learned were also really helpful. As we watched videos I saw a lot of connections to my own familial experience and how I so needed these tools for all sorts of reasons.
This experience helped validate this crazy journey of infertility. It also helped put new tools in my toolbox to help me make work through everything my infertility journey brings up.
Where to start? The process group was what I needed, I just wish I’d known about it sooner. Having a chance to connect with this community was so healing for me.
The Uniquely Knitted growth group has served as a lifeline for me during the most difficult season of my life.
To be in the presence of others who understand my pain and what I am going through truly makes a difference. The growth group also gives you tools to use in your every day life, to help navigate the challenges in relationships that infertility can bring. It is invaluable.
In a time where you often feel completely isolated and alone, having a process group like this where you don’t have to explain things was a weight off my shoulders. Knowing that I’m not the only one struggling and angry and frustrated made me feel very validated.
My experience with the Uniquely Knitted Process Group has been life changing. I first signed up for the 6 week class back when I was at possibly the lowest I had ever been emotionally and mentally throughout not just the two years my husband and I had been trying to have a baby, but in my entire life.
Being part of this group has taught me to live in my reality which I had spent the last two years not accepting whatsoever and actually being able to grieve and let go of the picture I was clinging so hard to.
I still have hope that one day I will become a mother, but because of this course and the wonderful work that Jesse and Doug have done, I can say that I am much more accepting of wherever this chapter takes us.
I absolutely experienced healing and community. It was load-lightening to share my story, but also find my story in others’. Even with everyone having completely different experiences, there was something similar, whether a diagnosis or relationship, that linked us beyond the umbrella of infertility
Gosh, this experience was a mix of so many emotions, feelings and experiences. Some good, some wonderful, some hard, some really hard, some outer-body and unfamiliar. That being said, all of these experiences continue to lead me down a road towards some more healing during this walk through infertility. Jesse and Doug are masters of empathy, truly, I aim to be more like them, even in my own work - I'm a Doula.
I felt more supported than I've felt through this whole journey, and it this was the experience I needed, exactly at the time I needed it. Even though some days I was dreading logging on, and hearing the hell everyone I've come to care so deeply about has gone through, or is going through, or is about to go through, I always left feeling grateful for the space that Jesse had curated for me and for those people I care about.
I was surprised by how anxiety inducing telling my story was for me, and I think, now, that I realize I've become a bit of a self-gaslighter. I'm definitely on a trajectory, since being in this group, that's leading to deeper self-discovery.
This experience was something I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I truly believe I met people who will be lifelong friends in this group and am eternally grateful. I felt a measurable difference in my demeanor and mental state for the better from beginning to end, and I think this group set up framework for me to be successful in the rest of my fertility journey.
Initially, I had no idea what to expect from these groups, as I was very closed off about discussing our infertility even with people close to me. This group has honestly changed me in a way I can't explain.
Being able to connect with people I just met in a deep and meaningful way, allowed me to feel more free and open up to even the people close to me in my life about our struggles with infertility. Having a community that can truly relate to me and my husband has brought us more peace during even the most difficult times.
I appreciated the topics we had to discuss, as it brought up challenging conversations even between my husband and me, which ultimately has brought us closer on our infertility journey and in our marriage.
This literally brought me back to life. Infertility can be a deep and sad hole and this group helped me remember who I am. It gave me a safe place to grieve and to remember that I mattered before infertility and will continue to matter as a person regardless of the outcome of this season.
This experience opened my eyes to the importance of having a community of safe people to share my experience with and how much that would impact me in a good way. It's a time I will definitely never forget and people that I want to stay connected with forever! Jesse and Doug were the absolute best facilitators and I would do a hundred more groups with them if they were offered!
