This conversation addresses the reality of having to keep showing up, at work, in meetings, in your life, while you feel like you're falling apart.

I’m joined by excellent Chloe Sowter.

She’s an IVF mum, a travel influencer; an executive coach and a former HR director before she chose the entrepreneur life...

Chloe is also a previous coaching client so we know each other really well which always makes for excellent conversation!

Chloe brings something different - a deep understanding of what it means to hold ambition, grief, identity, and hope all at the same time.

She shares her story of trying to conceive while working in high-pressure government roles through Brexit and COVID.

Of navigating IVF, miscarriage, and loss while continuing to lead, deliver, and perform. Of believing, like so many women do, that infertility was her problem to manage quietly, without burdening anyone else.

We talk about:

  • How work can be a lifeline, not a threat, during infertility
  • Why stress is often misunderstood in fertility conversations
  • The emotional reality of miscarriage that doesn’t fit neat timelines
  • Making the deeply personal decision to be “one and done”
  • Letting go of embryos and what that really requires
  • This is a really inspiring episode of how to deal with fertility and work while you hold ALL the complexities of IVF at the same time - and the power of personal development for this season and all of the following ones too...
