Elizabeth Banks and the Fertility Mourning
Restore allowed Elizabeth Banks to return to her core desire to be a mother after fertility struggles had layered on shame, self-blame, and societal pressure. She had to strip away all the external expectations about how motherhood "should" happen and restore her original, simple goal: having a child to love and raise. The process involved going back to who she was before infertility made her feel broken - someone who wanted to build a family with her husband, regardless of the specific method.
