Infertility and Imposter Syndrome- When You Wonder If You Really Belong

Have you ever walked into a room and instantly questioned whether you belonged there? That is exactly what happened to me t at the annual meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) in San Antonio. I was surrounded by fertility doctors, clinic directors, psychologists, and researchers, all experts in reproductive medicine. And for a moment, that familiar voice whispered, Who do you think you are?

In this episode, I am taking you behind the scenes of what it felt like to show up as a woman who is childless after infertility in a space that rarely represents us. You will hear how I faced imposter syndrome, found my voice, and ended up speaking on stage about the one topic that almost no one else was addressing: what happens when IVF fails and you leave fertility treatment without a baby.

You will learn:

• Why imposter syndrome often shows up after infertility or IVF fails

• How to recognize the lies your brain tells you when you start something new

• The powerful shift that helped me turn self doubt into purpose

• What happened when fertility doctors lined up to thank me for speaking out

• How you can use the same coaching tools I did to quiet the voice that says you are not enough

If you have ever thought, no one will care what I have to say or I am not qualified to lead this conversation, this episode is your reminder that your story matters. You do not have to be a doctor to create change. You only need to be brave enough to show up.
