The Waiting Well - Infertility, Faith-based Encouragement, Trying to Conceive, Fertility

Courtney Duinker, Infertility Warrior, Wellness Coach, Mentor for TTC Women

Are you constantly asking God, why me? Why am I not getting pregnant? Why am I going through infertility? Are you scouring the internet for answers for how to navigate infertility and trying to conceive as a Christian? Are you looking for faith-based support on your fertility journey because no one in your circle really knows what you’re going through? Do you wish you could be at peace with God, your story, and learn to see the goodness of God in your waiting season? In this podcast, you will find faith-based encouragement and support for your TTC & infertility journey, whether you’re navigating IVF, IUI, fertility treatments or simply just waiting, you do NOT have to walk this road alone. Hi, I’m Courtney Duinker, host of the Waiting Well Podcast… I remember how it felt five years in to our infertility story, standing in the aisle of Target right after a failed IUI treatment, holding back tears as I reached for a box of tampons when a couple who was clearly expecting came down the aisle. They were smiling as they talked while holding a new pack of diapers. My heart sank. I couldn’t help the one question bubbling to the surface as my heartache over not conceiving overwhelmed me…. will it ever be my turn? I felt forgotten, lost and wanted to tap out of the roller coaster of infertility we seemed to be stuck on. I didn’t know how to find peace with God. I wrestled to believe or see His goodness. And at one point, my faith felt completely shattered. I felt so alone in our pain & suffering. As we faced questions around treatment options, I was so confused. What was God’s plan? What were we supposed to do? I so desperately wanted to honor God even with our fertility journey. But I wrestled with how. This is what led to creating The Waiting Well. A virtual “well” where TTC women can come together and be equipped with God’s Word, encouraged, challenged and ultimately supported as we learn to wait well on God’s timing. Each week I’ll share faith-based encouragement from my own infertility journey, provide information from expert guests on navigating infertility/TTC, powerful testimonials, answer common questions with scripture and share top tips on stewarding your health through this demanding journey. My mission is to equip you to live an “even if” life… Even if God doesn’t answer my prayer, or grant me this desire to be a mother, I will still praise Him. He is still good. And my life, my identity, my worth is a sure thing I find in Him alone. If you are ready to take back control of your life, find peace with God, joy in the in-between spaces and thrive in your waiting season, then meet me at the well girl. We’ve got some intentional growth to do.

  • 126 - 125 | Male Factor Infertility: “I Didn't Think I Needed Help” — Until God Started Working on My Heart

    Chesney never thought she needed The Waiting Well Framework, but as she navigated male factor infertility, God began leading her into a deeper work of faith, surrender, and trust. In today's conversation, we're talking about the heart battles infertility brings to the surface, what it looks like to let God meet you in the middle of the waiting, and why spiritual growth matters even when your circumstances haven't changed. 💛 The Final Waiting Well Framework Cohort of 2026 Starts December 6! Friend, what if you didn't have to enter another year of trying to conceive carrying the same fear, bitterness, anxiety, and spiritual exhaustion? What if, instead of just surviving another month of waiting, you learned how to actually grow closer to God in the middle of it? That's exactly why I created The Waiting Well Framework™, my 8-week, Christ-centered coaching and discipleship program for women navigating infertility and trying to conceive. Together, we'll work through the hard heart battles infertility brings—grief, jealousy, disappointment, surrender, and trusting God's character when His plans don't look like yours. You don't need another fertility protocol. You need a place to bring your hurting heart, be rooted in biblical truth, and learn how to wait with hope, purpose, and faith. Our final cohort of 2026 begins December 6, and there are only 20 spots available! Investment: $297 for the full 8-week experience. You don't have to wait until you're pregnant to experience the goodness of God in your life. ✨ Grab your spot in the December 6 cohort here: https://stan.store/coduinker/p/the-wait-feels-endlessheres-the-way-through-copy  Let's learn to wait well, together. 💛   Peace in the Wait: 14 Day Audio Devotional - If you’re in the middle of the two week wait right now, I created the Two Week Wait Audio Devotional to walk with you day-by-day—from ovulation to testing—with Scripture, prayer, worship, and steady truth; you can find it here: https://stan.store/coduinker/p/peace-in-the-wait   💍 2 Part Masterclass: Thrive in Marriage Through TTC & Finding Hope Through Infertility – Strengthen your marriage in the middle of this journey & Learn how to live with peace and joy even while you wait ($17) 👉 Get it here 💌 Stay Connected 📲 Follow on Instagram: @thewaitingwellpodcast 📬 Email: hello@courtneyduinker.com 🌐 Website: courtneyduinker.com   💛 Did This Episode Encourage You?

  • 125 - 124 | Another Year Has Passed… and You're Still Not Pregnant: 4 Heart Checks Before 2026 Ends

    Did you enter 2026 believing this would finally be the year you'd get pregnant, only to find yourself facing another year of infertility and unanswered prayers? In today's episode, we're walking through four important heart checks to help you process the disappointment, examine where your hope is resting, and finish the year drawing closer to God—even if your circumstances haven't changed.   Enrollment is officially OPEN for our FINAL Waiting Well Framework cohort of 2026! 🤍 If you're already dreading the pregnancy announcements in Christmas cards, the family gatherings where someone inevitably asks when you're having a baby, or the ache of realizing another Christmas is coming and you're still not pregnant… this invitation is for you. I don't want you to spend another holiday season just trying to survive the grief, comparison, jealousy, and disappointment that infertility can bring.   Starting December 6, I'm walking alongside 20 women through an 8-week, Christ-centered discipleship experience designed to help you process the pain of infertility, find your identity beyond motherhood, and learn to experience genuine joy and peace in Christ—even while you're still waiting for the baby you've prayed for. You don't have to pretend you're okay. You don't have to force yourself to feel grateful when your heart is breaking. And you don't have to navigate another holiday season alone.
