In this episode I sit down with my former client Carrie whose story embodies what it means to hold onto hope even when life takes an unexpected turn.

After six IUIs and one egg retrieval, Carrie was preparing for an embryo transfer when she received a life-changing diagnosis: breast cancer. Her fertility journey came to a sudden halt as she began two years of cancer treatments and surgeries, including 16 rounds of chemotherapy. Through it all, she held tightly to her dream of becoming a mom and seeing her husband become a dad.

Once her treatments were complete, Carrie sought a new, more soulful path forward—working with Lisa as her fertility coach and connecting with a hypnotherapist I recommended for additional support. Together, they helped her process the heavy emotions, expand her circle of support, and find gratitude even in the hardest moments.

Carrie’s journey reminds us that hope and healing can coexist, and that opening your heart to new forms of support can create space for miracles. After another egg retrieval, she received one precious embryo — the embryo that became her daughter, Ella now 20 months old.

This conversation is for anyone walking through fertility challenges, IVF, or life detours that test your strength. Carrie’s story is proof that even when the path feels uncertain, your miracle may already be on its way.

In this episode you'll hear:

• Carrie’s honest and emotional journey through IUIs, IVF, and a cancer diagnosis
• How she stayed hopeful during two years of treatment and recovery
• The power of mindset, gratitude, and community support
• How coaching and hypnotherapy helped her reconnect with peace and possibility
• The miracle of her one healthy embryo and the arrival of her daughter, Ella
• Carrie's message of hope for women still waiting for their own miracle

I'm so grateful to Carrie for opening up and sharing her personal journey with you. If you loved this episode, I'd be so grateful if you would let me know! Send me a DM on Instagram @ivf.manifesting.a.miracle.
