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.

I'm so excited to talk to you about something that comes up so often for those of us whose life ended up so differently than we thought it would, and that is connection. When you think about connection, what comes up for you?

Take a minute and just think about connection.

Does it mean someone understanding you? Does it...

I know a lot of you have been following along on my journey of applying for a new job at work and taking my career in a bit of a different direction.

Since my fertility journey ended, I felt like I was a little bit stuck in where I was in my workspace, and so back in September. A new position opened at work. I applied...

We just finished a really fun time in my sales organization - I had a great quarter at work and I feel really proud of where I am. I had my final interview for the job that I've been interviewing for, so I will keep you posted when I find out if I get the job, but either way….it felt really good to want something and...
