Fran Pitre, an author, musical artist, and mother of six, shares her inspiring journey from years of infertility and high-risk pregnancies to writing her memoir, “Twins Times Three.” From her initial fears of leaving a successful career to navigating the challenges of motherhood and finding her identity again, Fran’s story is a raw and honest look at love, resilience, and the power of embracing change.
Key Takeaways-
✅ The Power of Journaling: When high-risk pregnancies forced Fran onto bed rest, journaling became her primary coping mechanism. By writing down her fears, hopes, and observations, she unknowingly created the foundation for her book and found a way to process her experiences.
✅ Embracing a New Identity: Motherhood requires a grieving period for your “old self.” While the shift from a busy career to being a full-time mom was challenging, Fran learned to embrace her new role as a mother, ultimately finding it to be the most fulfilling job of her life.
✅ The Importance of Community: Moving to a new city with young children and no friends was isolating. Fran actively sought out a community of other moms through her church, which helped her feel “alive” again and provided a vital support system.
✅ Turning Struggles into Lessons: Fran believes that our struggles are not just for our own benefit. She wrote her book to share the lessons she learned from her years of infertility and difficult pregnancies, hoping to inspire and provide comfort to others facing similar challenges.
