Description

What happens when motherhood doesn’t happen—after all the IUIs, IVF, and hope?

In this deeply moving episode, I’m joined by life coach and infertility advocate Lana Krstich Manikowski, host of The So Now What? podcast and author of the upcoming book So Now What?: Create a Life You Love Without the Children You Always Dreamed Of.

Lana shares her powerful story of navigating life after 7 IUIs, 4 rounds of IVF, and no baby—and how she found peace, purpose, and joy on the other side.

We talk about:
💭 The silent grief of childless living
💛 Letting go of perfectionism and embracing new versions of fulfillment
🌱 Creating a meaningful life beyond motherhood

Whether you’re in the middle of fertility treatments or navigating what comes next, this conversation is full of honesty, hope, and healing.
