Have you ever looked around and thought, "So now what?" after years of trying fertility treatments that didn't work?

You're not alone. This week's episode is for you.

In this deeply personal and empowering episode, you'll hear Lana reflect on the powerful launch of her new book, So Now What?, which became a #1 New Release in the Fertility and Infertility categories on Amazon. That milestone wasn't just about sales. It was about finally being heard after years of feeling silenced by a childless outcome.

Whether you've gone through IVF, IUI, or spent years navigating the complex, emotional rollercoaster of fertility treatments only to leave without a baby, this episode will remind you that your story still matters.

You'll hear:

• How Lana's unexpected injury mirrored the unpredictability of infertility

• Why So Now What? was written for women just like you

• A powerful reading from Chapter 3 of the book that will leave you feeling seen and understood

• Why this book belongs in every fertility clinic and how you can help make that happen

🎧 This episode is for you if:

• You feel like no one talks about what happens after treatment doesn't work

• You're searching for hope, community, and guidance in your childless life

• You're ready to believe that your life can still be meaningful even without the children you dreamed of
