The More Sibyl Podcast Presents:
My Dearest Mosiblings,
I hope this message finds you all in good health. I am grateful for your continued support during our recent deep and introspective episodes. Today, I must share that we are embarking on another sensitive journey. In recent shows, including "Dark Nights with Doc Ayomide," we've explored various emotionally charged topics. In our most recent episode, my virtual assistant and I delved into my 12-year struggle with infertility, marking the launch of our ongoing Fertility Project. This project provides mental, emotional, and financial support to women and couples facing infertility challenges.
This week, we are honored to have a special guest, Mrs. Temitope Abiona, a remarkable individual who wears many hats. By day, she's a business consultant for various companies, a certified functional salesforce professional, a certified project manager, and an entrepreneur. She's not only dedicated to her professional pursuits but also to caring for others. Mrs. Abiona has a deep passion for mental well-being and spreading joy. She is happily married and resides in Minnesota, serving as a board member of our Fertility Project. Like me, she has faced her own challenges on her journey to conceive, and she is here to share her story.
Mrs. Abiona takes us on a poignant journey through her childhood and education during our episode. She recalls her initial encounter with excruciating pain during her menstrual periods at her mother's workplace, where she discovered significant blood clots. Over time, the pain during her monthly cycles became a constant companion, leading her to rely on potent painkillers, including opioids, for relief. Although these painkillers provided temporary respite, the pain resurfaced a year before her marriage. Between 2015 and 2019, her frequent visits to the emergency room became a distressing routine, and she underwent several surgeries during that period. Mrs. Abiona candidly shares the profound impact her painful menstrual periods have had on her life, drawing from personal experiences.
We also talk about our experiences with surgeries and the unique challenges of dealing with medical practitioners who may not fully understand or appreciate our cultural backgrounds. A pivotal moment came during a visit to the emergency room when Mrs. Abiona was diagnosed with endometriosis. She shows how this diagnosis has made it exceptionally challenging for her to conceive, resulting in failed IVF attempts and various other obstacles.
In conclusion, Mrs. Abiona addresses our questions about her decision to become a board member of the show. She offers spiritual guidance and encouragement to women and couples facing fertility challenges, emphasizing the importance of not offering unsolicited advice to those dealing with these issues.
I want to remind everyone that no contribution is too small for our cause. If you or someone you know needs support, please do not hesitate to contact us via email at talktomo@mosibyl.com.
Until our next episode, thank you for your unwavering support.
