Are you childless after infertility, feeling stuck in the “in-between” after years of fertility treatments and IVF?

Have you spent years yearning for motherhood, only to be left wondering what life looks like now?

If that sounds like you, this episode was created with your heart in mind.

In Episode 162 of The So Now What? Podcast, I share a deeply personal reflection that started on a seemingly ordinary Saturday. It was a day filled with movement, joy, connection, and the kind of freedom I never expected to feel in a life without children. But by the end of the night, everything changed. That moment forced me to think about what I had built and who I had become.

You’ll hear how that experience helped me step even more deeply into ownership of a life I never imagined living, and how you can do the same.

💬 In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why your life without children can still feel full, meaningful, and chosen

• How waiting for time to heal might be keeping you stuck

• An excerpt from Chapter 9 of my new book So Now What? called "Learning Not to Fear Change"

• How fear of failure, shaped by the language of fertility treatments, impacts your ability to move forward

• Why So Now What? is already a Top New Best Seller on Amazon before it has even launched

• A heartfelt invitation to stop waiting and start rebuilding your life

📘 So Now What? is the guide you didn’t know you needed

If you’ve ever said, “I thought I’d be a mom by now,” this book was written for you.

So Now What? is more than a book. It is a guide, a lifeline, and a blueprint for the woman who never received the tools to navigate a future without motherhood. This book meets you where you are and shows you that you do not have to stay there.

It is already being celebrated as a Top New Best Seller on Amazon, even before the official launch on April 2.
