Choosing to end fertility treatments is a personal decision, and not always an easy one.

My friend and guest, Lana Manikowski shares her journey moving forward post “unsuccessful” fertility treatments. Living and thriving, finding purpose, joy, and rewriting the narrative of how she is choosing to create her life - We cover this and so much more. 

What she saw lacking in the fertility space when IVF didn’t work out for her, she decided to create. Resources, support and a community after her long fertility journey ended without a child.

Lana’s mission is one that I wholeheartedly believe deserves to more amplified. The resources and support she has created are invaluable. I’m so happy to share this conversation with you. Read more on her bio below. 

Lana’s Bio:

Lana Manikowski is a Certified Life Coach, Keynote Speaker, and Infertility Activist. Founder of “The Other's Day Brunch”.  

When a 7-year fertility journey ended without a child - and donor egg & adoption weren’t for her - Lana yearned for a community that could understand the loneliness, self-judgment, and grief around navigating a childless future. When she couldn’t find one, she created it by launching The “So Now What?” Podcast and The Other's Day Brunch. 

In her coaching practice, Lana helps women navigate a life that is unexpected. Her coaching framework helps guide women through the rediscovery of their purpose, meaning and joy, so they can build a future they truly love.

Since launching her practice in 2021, Lana has been featured on national media outlets, sharing her message and serving as an example that infertile women can create the life of their dreams, even when it takes an unexpected turn. Lana lives in downtown Chicago with her husband and fur baby, Coco.
