115. Fertility coach Jen Richards shares her raw, beautiful, and seven-year-long journey to motherhood. From navigating the confusing world of unexplained infertility at age 40 to experiencing the BOGO "dating website" swirl of sperm banks and the heartbreaking silence of a 13-week miscarriage, Jen opens up about what it really takes to survive the emotional trenches of late-30s and 40-plus family building.
Jen shares the incredible, fortuitous turning point in her story: navigating the "new frontier" of private embryo donation after a close friend offered a basket of hope. We talk about the unspoken realities of a 48-hour C-section labor, the severe postpartum anxiety that followed her victory, and the liberating day she finally said goodbye to the breast pump. Whether you are currently staring down a difficult medical crossroads, considering donor options, or looking for permission to let go of a strict natural birth plan, Jen’s relentless hope and grounded wisdom will make you feel less alone in the woods of your own journey.
