“When unexplained infertility came through, it was kicking up all of the same stuff. It was kicking up, ‘this is my fault. I fucked up. How did I get this wrong? I'm broken. I'm failing, I'm failing—failing life, I'm failing as a woman, I'm failing, failing as a female being. I'm failing my husband, I'm failing my family.’ All of (the childhood trauma) would get kicked back up.”
 - Jaycee Gossett

Since Jaycee was a child, she realized movement helped her “move through” the problems she faced, even when she felt like she was all alone. As an adult movement supported her once again, through her struggle with unexplained infertility and a new outlook on what being a mother can look like. 
I sat down with Jaycee Gossett, Vice President of Training and Development at The Class, a workout studio that combines movement with mindfulness, a therapy of sorts to support people in feeling better. Jaycee shared how she learned to advocate for herself, how infertility affected her mental health, and how movement has been her medicine.
