Welcome to the Warrior Shop!

Hello friends and welcome to The Warrior Shop!

Let me take a second to introduce myself- my name is Stephanie Booe (pronounced like BOO!) and I am the owner of The Warrior Shop. The heart and passion that burns at the center of this shop stems from experiences in my own personal life. 

In 2017, my husband- Alex (you'll hear a lot about him)- and I were diagnosed with unexplained infertility. We began to pursue fertility treatments and in 2018, we did 5 IUIs that all failed. We were heartbroken and devastated. In 2019, we chose to pursue IVF and thankfully, we had successful first round that brought us our 15 embryos. 

Our first embryo transfer took place in July of 2019 and brought us our sweet son, Aspen. Then we just recently had our second embryo transfer in July of 2021 and we are happy to say that we will be welcoming baby number two in April of 2022. 

That's our story in a nutshell, but if you'd like more in depth information from any stage of our journey, I encourage you to scour the blog. I've written and shared a lot about what we've been through and I'll continue to do so in the future!

Sooo, where does The Warrior Shop come in? Well, I've been a voice and advocate for infertility really since our journey began and I've only recently become SUPER open about our whole experience, but over time I realized that I kept receiving the same common question- "how can I support my friend or family member that is going through infertility? Quite honestly, I had a lot of options and choices, but they were scattered all over the internet and I'm a strong believer in giving my "why." I wanted to educate people and have them understand why this specific item would be helpful for their friend or family member. I'm not a huge fluff or stuff type of person, I'd rather a practical or meaningful gift and that's what I would choose to recommend. 

But in all honesty, nothing on the web satisfied this need of "how to support an infertility warrior" and in total honesty, I was sick and tired of searching for something that didn't exist. 

So instead of sitting idly by, I chose to do something about it.

"How can I support my friend or family member going through infertility?" 

BOOM! Here is a shop of beautiful, handcrafted products to meet your friend/family member wherever they are in their journey and in case you don't know why they would need something, we chat it through with you in the description. 

I created The Warrior Shop because infertility has been a taboo topic for far too long and it's time to change that. I want our community to be adequately represented in society and this one stop online shop is a stepping stone in the right direction. 

It's called The Warrior Shop because that's who we serve- Warriors! AKA- some of the strongest people that I know. 

So, no matter where you are in your journey, I want you to know that you're not alone. There is a community of people rooting for you and cheering you on from afar and as soon as our package lands on your doorstep, you'll feel a warm embrace from this community that supports you through and through.

Welcome to The Warrior Shop, we're just getting started.

xoxo,
