Meet my friend and past client, Michele. She and I started working together in November 2021. Listen in to her fertility story and the decision she made to pursue a more soulful approach through IVF at the age of 41.
Michele is based in New York and works in a demanding HR director job in corporate leadership. She shares all the things she was “trying” and the choice she made to go about IVF differently.
Michele is such an example of the power of staying open and the manifestations that began happening quickly after working together. She became engaged and found her dream home in the time of receiving fertility coaching support.
Hear the insights from Michele on the power of belief knowing she would become a mom one day. What an absolute joy to have this conversation at the time of her being 33 weeks pregnant! She is anticipating the birth of her son in February 2023.
Those of you who identify with being more Type A, with “controlling” tendencies will hopefully relate to Michele’s story and the challenges that come with choosing to soften into this experience. Even though she’s weeks away from delivering her baby, she honestly shares how hard it is for her to still believe she’s pregnant and that it’s all happening for her.
We cover reflections becoming a mom at the age of 42, being a stepmom to 2 teenagers and the importance of advocating for what we need in our relationships. Hear the #1 activity that helped her get through hard times while enduring the long road of fertility treatments.
Hope you enjoy all the tips Michele shares tips for navigating through this rollercoaster ride.

In this episode I'm introducing you to my inspiring friend, Kristine Munro. She is the Founder of the Illume Collective in Denver and the Pivot to Passion Podcast host.
In this episode we talk about the importance of shining your light, utilizing soulful and spiritual practices and connecting with our spiritual guides. Kristine opens up vulnerably about a personal loss she experienced in pregnancy and how it has impacted her life and journey. We discuss the magic that shows up when we get quiet and go within.
Kristine shares her path of self discovery where she learned to tap into her own intuition which led her to find her passion for building a community for female entrepreneurs to connect on a deeper level, have easy access to mentors and all the support they need to pursue their big dreams.
From pivoting in her 40's from Finance and Real Estate and building a 7-Figure, award-winning business to realizing she felt unaligned, knowing deep down she was meant for more, Kristine shares the path that led to her purpose. Kristine now helps mentor women entrepreneurs to illuminate the light within themselves and live out what they were meant to do.
Kristine is a proud wife and mom of two. Her top priority is being a role model for them to show them that there are no limits to what they can achieve.

Today I'm talking with the incredible Erin of 'My Beautiful Blunder.' She is so open in sharing the challenges she and her husband faced in their marriage throughout their fertility path. I loved this heartfelt conversation so much.
Erin is one to not shy away from the hard issues. Listen in to her fertility story and perspectives related to therapy and counseling support. We cover supports that have helped her through this long journey and so much more.
Huge THANK YOU to Erin bringing light to this incredibly hard topic. Read her bio below and connect with her on IG @mybeautifulblunder.
Shoutout to Reproductive Partners of San Diego
https://www.fertilityclinicsandiego.com/
Erin's Bio:
I'm 38 and I’ve been dealing with unexplained infertility since I was 26! I wasn’t getting a period and therefore not ovulating on my own. We went in for an IUI in 2010 and it worked! We conceived triplets and had to have a reduction to twins at 9 weeks. between that trauma and dealing with infertility and then twins at a young age my husband and I went through years of marital issues and verbal abuse. He finally decided to get help and he started seeking therapy. We hit rock bottom but came out so much stronger. Then we tried for a 3rd but again no period so we went to IVF. They said I would be the perfect candidate at 33. But we went through 3 years of treatments. 4 egg retrievals, one long miscarriage and D&C, 4 hysteroscopies, MRI’s, and 7 transfers until our last normal embryo stuck! Eriela was born in 2020 on Election Day. Currently have one last embryo but it’s mosaic and we are still debating what to do with it. My twins are now 11 so there is a 9.5 year age gap with my girls. Still actively in therapy as a married couple and working on having a period through naturopathy! I’ve had 8 since March which is more than I’ve ever had without added hormones!
Thank you again Erin! ~xo

My guest Kacia Ghetmiri exudes such a bright light. You can't help but be drawn to her upbeat energy and zest for life! We connected at a women’s brunch event in May of 2022, literally right when she moved to Denver, CO, and I’ve been a fan of hers ever since.
Kacia is a life enthusiast, multi-passionate entrepreneur, speaker, event host, and podcaster who's on a mission to help women unapologetically share their voice & message with the world.
Along with hosting her own podcast empowerHER which just surpassed 7 million downloads in only 3.5 years, she is also the host of empowerHER Live, an annual event with hundreds of women.
Kacia has found that what's often holding women back is the thoughts that they think about who they are & what they are capable of so she takes her knowledge from working with hundreds of entrepreneurs over the years, paired with her high energy bubbly personality and a "Come with me, let's figure this out together" approach to light a fire under their booty to get out of their own way & go!
Episode 7:
You're going to get SO many takeaways from this episode especially if you're navigating a hard season.
Ask yourself -
- What are you labeling the space when we’re in the waiting and on the path of our desires?
- How are you equipping yourself along the way as you’re in pursuit of your dreams?
- How is this time of waiting serving you?
- What can you focus on what you CAN control and what you can’t.
- How do you feel when you leave someone’s presence? If you’re not full and lit up, you may need to distance yourself from them...are they draining your energy?
- Ask yourself are you putting out what you’d like to call in? Support from others?
Some of Kacia's quotes I LOVED:
- "You’re in control of your thoughts."
- “Our days are numbered and we don’t know the count.”
- “Whatever we’re looking for we’re going to find.”
- “Call your shot and say it!”
- "Be the friend you want to have. Be the significant other you want to have."
- “What is your success criteria? What are deposits you’re putting into your confidence bucket?”
