If you are a woman who is childless not by choice, you know the heartbreak of infertility does not end when treatments stop. You might still feel like shame and guilt are following you around every day.

In this episode, you will hear why infertility shame and secrecy can stay with you for years after IVF or other fertility treatments. Lana shares insights from a 1998 doctoral thesis that described shame as the central emotion of infertility and explains why so little has changed in how women feel about themselves today.

You will discover how guilt convinces you that infertility was your fault, how secrecy keeps you isolated, and why infertility does not define your worth or your future.

If you are tired of feeling like you failed or like you are living life on the sidelines, this conversation will help you imagine how thriving after infertility is possible for you.

In This Episode, You Will Learn

• Why shame is often the hidden part of infertility no one talks about

• How guilt after IVF or failed fertility treatments can feel like punishment

• What happens when secrecy becomes your coping mechanism

• A client story showing how she went from feeling invisible to creating a life she is proud of
