So many ambitious women are starting families later in life; it's becoming the norm, but all they're stuck with are passive-aggressive labels like "gariatric pregnancy," endless labs, and added anxiety.

IVF Struggles, Motherhood Challenges, and Overcoming Fear

On his episode of Maternity Leave, I got to sit with the resilient Karen Deulofeu, a fertility, pregnancy, and postnatal coach.

After navigating her own infertility trauma and IVF journey, Karen transitioned from a successful career as a lawyer to becoming a certified coach, EFT practitioner, and mindset transformation expert.

Karen’s mission is to support women in overcoming the emotional toll of infertility, pregnancy, and motherhood to reclaim their joy and confidence.

In this episode, Karen and I discuss:

💡 The procedure that led to her fertility struggles in her late 20s and how she coped.

💡 Her IVF experience and how it shaped her parenting.

💡 The unexpected challenges of motherhood, including her relationship ending in her first year as a mom.

💡 The stigma surrounding infertility and why open conversations are essential.

💡 Practical tools and mindset shifts to release fear and pressure while trying to conceive.
