Not Cha Momma Pod

Meet Carrie, a freelance writer based in Northern California who uses her experiences with infertility and child loss to focus on grief, infertility, and childfree living.

As Carries says ... 'After eight years of trying to conceive, multiple miscarriages, working with surrogates, and delivering my stillborn daughter, I embody all things grief and infertility based. '

Carrie is a such a good soul and is the example of choosing happiness that we all need to hear! Join us to hear the gems of hope from the coolest backyard auntie to exist. The NCMP team was honored to hear a little more about her story and her life. Hope you enjoy!

Lana Manikowski is someone the NCMP feels honored to call friend. She joined us to discuss her journey to fulfillment after infertility. Lana, a self described Type A human, thought she could work hard to make her goals happen. Including parenthood. When it was clear it wasn't part of her story, she set that determination into finding a fulfilling life post IVF. Years later, she's turned her passion into a coaching business that allows her to help other women find that same fulfillment through 1:1 and group coaching. She even received national recognition for her Other's Day Brunch. WOW! Talk about an impact!

We love you and are blessed to have connected with you Lana!

Love hearing Lana's thoughts? Give her podcast, The "So Now What?" Podcast, a listen! Available on all platforms.

The NCMP discusses the power in RSVP-ing 'No' to events that will not serve your happiness. Over our journeys with infertility, illness, and mental health we've developed the skillsets needed to say that this event is not for us. Over time, what does or does not serve us has changed. AND THAT'S OKAY!
