Thriving After Infertility: A Conversation with Lana Manikowski
In this deeply moving episode of Friends with Fertility, we sit down with Lana Manikowski—author, certified life coach, keynote speaker, and infertility advocate—who is dedicated to helping women navigate life after infertility with purpose and fulfillment.
After seven years of fertility treatments, including multiple rounds of IUI and IVF, Lana faced the heartbreaking reality that motherhood wasn’t in her path. When she couldn’t find the support she needed, she built it herself. Now, through her coaching program Thrive After Infertility, her podcast So Now What?, and her upcoming book of the same name (April 2025), Lana is on a mission to help women reclaim joy, connection, and self-worth beyond motherhood.
In this episode, Lana shares her journey, the power of post-traumatic growth, and how she’s creating spaces—like The Other’s Day Brunch—where childless women feel seen and supported. If you’ve ever wondered, So now what?, Lana’s wisdom and encouragement will remind you: your story isn’t over—it’s just beginning.
