IVF Failed You - The "So Now What?" Podcast

I am a Fertility Survivor.  The kind you enter into treatments hoping you will never be... childless.  After several rounds of IUI and IVF, at some of the leading Fertility Centers, I was told I was no longer a candidate for fertility treatment.  It left me asking myself...

So now what?

For the years that followed, I tried to put myself back together and tell myself I would be OK, but I wasn't.  I was shattered - I felt alone and failed by the whole process and especially, my body.  I yearned for others that felt the pain I felt and someone that could help me navigate a life without a child. 

I didn't find it, so I decide to create it.  

Fast forward to today. I am still childless, but my beliefs about my life have changed.  I decided that I can create meaning and purpose in my life even though I am not a mother.  I've learned to love myself and the body I felt failed me as a woman.

If you've been on this journey, hop on and join me as we create something we were not offered.  Let's create a sisterhood for the bravest women I know.  We brush ourselves off and don't let terms like: Failed, Unexplained, Miscarriage, Not-viable or Advanced Maternal Age define us anymore.

We think that we are just relaying the information about our stories in a way that seem right to us. They're just observations about our...

Ar you searching to learn how to love your life again after infertility and IVF treatments have ended? It's something I hear so commonly from my clients, “I want to love my life again”. I know it sounds so innocent, and it sounds so helpful and healing and navigating infertility and the months and the years we've...

I am so exceptionally grateful for the community that has followed me on this journey that's encouraged me on this journey and has watched me grow in 2021. For many I know it was such an exceptionally challenging year. And for me, it was as well. But I chose at the end of this year to go through and list. Everything...
