- Finding Her Value through the Infertility Journey with Lana Manikowski The F.E.E.L Podcast 1:17:25
After 7 years of fertility treatments and a lifetime dreaming of motherhood, Lana Manikowski was presented with the realization that she would not be a mom. The years that followed were full of loneliness, self judgment and confusion about living a childless life. Lana yearned to connect to a community of infertile women to grow past this together. When she couldn’t find one, she created one by courageously telling her story and creating connections weekly on The “So Now What?” Podcast.
Lana is a Certified Life Coach, Infertility Activist, founder of The Other’s Day Brunch and the creator of “The Thrive Method” – a 3 step process that helps women thrive and feel fulfilled even though they don’t have the children they always believed they would.
Lana guides women in the rediscovery of their meaning and helps them build a future they truly love – even without children.
Since launching her practice in 2021, Lana has amassed an audience of over 21,000 students. Through her teachings, Lana helps women discover their meaning and define a Legacy they feel truly proud of. 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 didn’t turn out as planned.
Ways to Engage: Infertility is more common than we think it is, with 1 in 5 women being unable to conceive in the U.S. according to the CDC. However, we don’t tend to hear a lot of conversations surrounding this topic. Why is that? Think about the pressure you have experienced as well as seen in others when it comes to having children. Feel free to share your thoughts and emotions on this multifaceted topic that I’m sure has touched each of our lives.
