Ever felt like your life was a bit ‘messy’ but strangely beautiful? That’s exactly the vibe Netflix was going for with its new ‘Messy Girl Summer’ category, aiming to celebrate the wonderfully imperfect sides of women’s stories. But as one insightful article pointed out, the list missed some iconic titles that truly embody that beautifully chaotic spirit. Read the original CNET commentary here.
This got me thinking: What does ‘messy’ really mean in the context of life’s biggest journeys — like fertility and starting a family? Spoiler alert: ‘Messy’ might just be the secret ingredient to resilience, hope, and success.
The Beauty in the Mess
Let’s be honest — the path to parenthood is anything but neat and tidy. Emotions swirl, plans shift, and unexpected challenges pop up. It’s messy, emotionally intense, and often unpredictable. Yet, within that chaos lies incredible strength.
Netflix’s attempt to spotlight ‘messy’ stories reminds us that perfection isn’t the goal. Real life, with all its ups and downs, is where the magic happens. And when it comes to fertility, embracing the mess can be empowering rather than defeating.
Why The Messy Girl Summer Concept Resonates With Fertility Journeys
- Imperfection is Powerful: Fertility struggles don’t fit a perfect timeline or script. They require flexibility, patience, and self-love.
- Community Over Comparisons: Just like the Netflix category aims to showcase diverse messy stories, fertility is about connection and shared experiences — not competition.
- Finding Joy Amidst the Chaos: Celebrating small victories (like a successful insemination at home!) fuels motivation.

If you’re navigating your own “messy” fertility journey, you might wonder: How can I take control and find hope in the unpredictable? This is where at-home insemination kits from MakeAMom become game-changers.

Embracing Your Story: From “Messy” to Miraculous
Imagine rewinding the narrative around fertility struggles. Instead of seeing the mess as a setback, what if it’s the very thing that powers your story?

What to Take Away?
Netflix’s ‘Messy Girl Summer’ might have missed some classic titles, but it opened a bigger conversation about embracing imperfection — especially when it comes to life’s biggest dreams.
