Infertility & fertilization; Women's health; Family & relationships; Mind, Body, Spirit: thought & practice

A fresh perspective to living a rich, fulfilling, and beautiful life even without the traditional milestones of motherhood.

This is a groundbreaking guide for women navigating an unexpected childless life-a topic with few resources, yet one that so many silently struggle with.

Whether fertility treatments ended without the child you dreamed of, or if health or other life circumstances shaped the path you're on now, this book offers hope, empowerment, and a clear way forward.

Unlike other resources that focus solely on grieving the loss of motherhood, So Now What? goes deeper and helps you not only process the loss of a dream, but also uncovers the possibilities, purpose, and joy in the life you are building.

With authenticity, heartfelt stories, and practical tools, certified life coach and infertility advocate Lana Manikowski helps you:

Navigate the emotional complexities of your childless journey Rediscover your joy and create a life that is vibrant and uniquely yours Find peace and create a meaningful legacy without motherhood

Through empowering exercises and deeply personal insights garnered from the author's own seven-year journey through fertility treatments, So Now What? invites you to move forward-not by erasing your dreams of being a mother, but by embracing the beauty of what lies ahead.

This is a life-changing resource for anyone seeking to reclaim their purpose and create a fulfilling future when life turns out so differently than expected.

Your story isn't over. It's just beginning.

With an advanced certification in grief and post-traumatic growth, Lana combines her professional expertise with her personal journey to support women in rediscovering joy, meaning, and fulfillment, even when life unfolds differently than they had planned.After a seven-year fertility journey that ended without a child-and realizing that donor egg and adoption weren't the right paths for her-Lana was struck by the lack of resources for women facing a childless future. Determined to create the support she wished she had, Lana launched The ""So Now What?"" Podcast and her signature event, The Other's Day Brunch, an annual celebration for women without children held the day before Mother's Day.Through her coaching practice, Lana helps women reconnect with themselves, build meaningful relationships, and create new milestones and experiences to fill the next chapters of their lives with purpose and joy. Her signature coaching program, Thrive After Infertility, guides women toward redefining what it means to thrive without the traditional milestones of motherhood, offering a path to a fulfilling, purposeful life.Lana's insights have been featured in national media outlets, where she speaks openly about the unique grief of leaving fertility treatments without a child and the possibility of building a vibrant future. She serves as a living example that life after infertility can be both meaningful and deeply rewarding.Lana lives in downtown Chicago with her husband and their beloved dog, Coco.
