In this deeply moving episode of Friends with Fertility, we sit down with Lana Manikowski—author, certified life coach, keynote speaker, and infertility advocate—who is dedicated to helping women navigate life after infertility with purpose and fulfillment.

After seven years of fertility treatments, including multiple rounds of IUI and IVF, Lana faced the heartbreaking reality that motherhood wasn’t in her path. When she couldn’t find the support she needed, she built it herself. Now, through her coaching program Thrive After Infertility, her podcast So Now What?, and her upcoming book of the same name (April 2025), Lana is on a mission to help women reclaim joy, connection, and self-worth beyond motherhood.

In this episode, Lana shares her journey, the power of post-traumatic growth, and how she’s creating spaces—like The Other’s Day Brunch—where childless women feel seen and supported. If you’ve ever wondered, So now what?, Lana’s wisdom and encouragement will remind you: your story isn’t over—it’s just beginning.

In this heartfelt episode of Friends with Fertility, we sit down with Jules and Louise—two compassionate experts whose personal and professional journeys have reshaped the landscape of fertility care.

Jules began her career as an oncology nurse in Sydney, inspired by her sister’s fertility treatment following a battle with breast cancer. Over the past 15 years, she’s become a trusted voice in fertility nursing, adapting to technological advancements while offering unwavering support to patients. Her own fertility journey, culminating in the birth of her son Archie, gives her a profound understanding of the emotional and physical challenges many face.

Louise brings over three decades of healthcare experience as a nurse, psychologist, and author. Specializing in fertility care after stints in medicine, surgery, and A&E, she pursued a doctorate in counselling psychology to delve into the emotional complexities of unexplained infertility. Having experienced early menopause and later built her family through fertility treatment, Louise combines professional expertise with personal insight to offer a uniquely holistic approach to care.

Their collaboration began at a leading fertility clinic, where they united their expertise and empathy to support patients. Today, through their resource If Only I Knew, they empower individuals to navigate fertility treatment with confidence, clarity, and radical honesty about women’s health.

Join us as Jules and Louise share their candid stories, expert insights, and the transformative power of informed decision-making in the world of fertility. Whether you’re undergoing treatment or seeking a deeper understanding of women’s health, this episode is a must-listen for anyone on a journey toward healing and hope.
