When God feels silent during your trying-to-conceive journey, it’s easy to feel discouraged, confused, and spiritually exhausted. In this episode, Christian infertility coach Courtney Duinker shares four biblical steps to take when God feels quiet while trying to conceive. Rooted in Scripture and real-life experience, this episode helps women navigating infertility learn how to find God in the silence, strengthen their faith while waiting for pregnancy, and trust God’s presence even when prayers feel unanswered. If you’re struggling to hear God during TTC or infertility, this episode offers hope, truth, and practical next steps to keep walking with Him in the wait.

🕊 Next Cohort Begins: January 18th

If this episode touched something tender — if infertility has slowly begun to shape your thoughts, your faith, or the way you see your future — I want you to hear this clearly:

You don’t have to keep carrying this season alone.

The Waiting Well Framework™ is an 8-week Christ-centered discipleship experience designed to help you move from surviving the wait to stewarding it well — without bypassing your grief or losing your faith.

Inside this framework, women don’t just feel supported. They begin to change how they carry the wait.

By the end of these 8 weeks, women are able to: ✨ respond to disappointment without spiraling ✨ stop being emotionally hijacked by each cycle ✨ rebuild trust in God’s goodness — even without answers ✨ live with clarity, peace, and purpose before motherhood comes

This isn’t about fixing your circumstances. It’s about forming your heart so the waiting no longer defines or consumes you.

If you’re ready to stop white-knuckling this season and start walking it with intention, faith, and support, I would be honored to walk with you.

To the Woman Whose Arms Are Empty This Thanksgiving: Finding Peace and Hope in the Waiting

If you’re walking into Thanksgiving week with a quiet ache — longing for the baby you’ve prayed for and wondering how to be thankful when your arms are still empty — this episode was written just for you.

In today’s episode, Courtney shares an open letter straight from her heart to yours. She speaks to the woman sitting at the table surrounded by laughter yet feeling unseen, the one trying to hold gratitude and grief in the same breath. Through powerful Scripture, tender encouragement, and reminders of God’s unchanging goodness, you’ll find comfort in knowing that you are not forgotten — you are being formed.

Whether you’re navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, or another season of waiting, this heartfelt letter will help you slow down, exhale, and see that even in the ache, God is still near.

You’ll walk away reminded that: ✨ You don’t have to perform gratitude to be loved by God. ✨ Your tears are sacred — and seen. ✨ The wait isn’t wasted when it’s held in His hands. ✨ Gratitude and grief can coexist in a heart anchored in Christ.

This Thanksgiving, may you find peace in the waiting and hope in the One who never stops working behind the scenes of your story.

In this powerful episode of The Waiting Well Podcast, Courtney sits down with past client Nicoleto share her raw and redemptive journey through infertility and how God met her in the waiting.

Nicole opens up about the emotional and spiritual battles she faced before joining The Waiting Well Framework—from feeling distant from God and questioning His goodness, to learning how to surrender control and find peace in uncertainty.

Together, Courtney and Nicole unpack what it means to move from striving to trusting, how community and Scripture brought healing, and why learning to “wait well” can transform not just your fertility journey, but your entire walk with God.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, forgotten, or weary in your waiting, this episode will remind you that God is still writing your story—right here in the in-between.
