In this week's episode of the Money Boss Parent Podcast, I am privileged to have Abbe Feder, a fertility and life coach, and the founder of InCircle Fertility, as my guest.

Abbe's personal journey through infertility and pregnancy loss led her to establish a community that provides vital support and hope for those on the path to parenthood. We discuss the emotional and financial challenges associated with fertility treatments and how services like InCircle Fertility can be a lifeline for individuals navigating these difficult experiences.

Don't miss this episode—it's a testament to the power of support and resources in the face of adversity.

Anna's Takeaways:

• 04:19 The emotional toll of infertility on women
• 08:29 Is it too late for women to have kids?
• 14:46 The turkey baster method of treatment
• 19:57 The importance of self-care and financial planning
• 25:36 Sharing your story is the best way to get the word out

About Abbe:

Abbe founded InCircle Fertility after emerging on the other side of her all-consuming struggles with infertility and pregnancy loss. During her six-year path to becoming a mother, she and her husband created the podcast Maculate Conception (audible) to process their deep grief and isolation while going through treatment after treatment.

Through that podcast, women from all over the world reached out to Abbe, and almost accidentally, she began to help them on their own journeys. 

Abbe meets women and couples wherever they are in their path to parenthood - and wherever they are in the world - to provide the support and guidance needed to find a resolution. More than explaining what’s going on in the process of Assisted Reproductive Technology, she holds hands and hearts through the often grueling experience.

She is a recurring contributor to the blogs What’s Up Moms and Fertility, Rescripted. And her newest podcast "The Fertility Chick" just released with iheartradio and cloud10 media.
