Picture yourself living the dream, you are in a loving, committed marriage, own thriving, growing businesses and have a close-knit circle of friends, who like you, are expecting to complete their similarly “perfect lives” with a baby or two. Sara Dean, Seattle-based podcaster, business woman, motivational speaker and business and transformation coach, knew that at age 37, she had waited longer than many of her friends to start “trying” for a baby. But when she found herself attending baby shower after baby shower for friend after friend, Sara began to wonder if she and her husband had waited too long. But what happens if you’re told that you may not be able to have the baby that you’ve been hoping for? Do you subject yourself to IVF, a costly, months-long journey filled with daily hormone shots, egg harvesting and implantation? Or do you take your chances and continue trying for your baby without medical aid, hoping against hope that the odds are in your favor?
