Episode 286: Author of “Infertile but Fruitful” – Leigh Fitzpatrick Snead

On this week’s episode of The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, we welcome Leigh Fitzpatrick Snead – writer, mother, advocate, and author of the upcoming book Infertile but Fruitful. Leigh is a dear friend and a woman whose grace, honesty, and deep, abiding love shine through every part of her story.

Leigh has walked the long, winding road of infertility – a journey that can be isolating, overwhelming, and deeply painful. Although she never conceived children biologically, Leigh and her husband, Carter, became parents in another beautiful way: through the adoption of their four incredible boys. Their family is a powerful testament to embracing the path that life brings before you – with purpose, openness, and joy. They remind all of us that life’s greatest gifts often arrive in forms we never expected.

What makes Leigh’s voice so extraordinary is the way she invites us to look at our own stories in a new way – especially the pieces that feel unfinished or heavy. For anyone who is hoping, praying, and trying for children… Leigh’s story is a reminder not to overlook the quiet lessons and unexpected graces hidden along the way. Infertility can feel like waiting in the dark, but it does not mean your story is stalled or empty. There is beauty unfolding in every chapter of your life. There is purpose in the waiting. And Leigh is one of the most tender, wise, and hope-filled examples of that truth.

In this episode, you’ll hear:
✨ Leigh’s personal journey with infertility and adoption;
✨ How she and Carter grew their family through the adoption of their four sons;
✨ The lessons found in waiting, longing, and surrender;

💫 Leigh Fitzpatrick Snead is a 1 Girl Revolution – a woman using her voice, her vulnerability, and her heart to uplift others, illuminate hidden graces, and remind all of us that our stories -even the painful chapters – can lead to profound purpose.
