A Mother’s Journey Through Pregnancy Hardships, Near-Death Experiences, & Entrepreneurship

Send us Fan MailToday, I sit down with Malyri Ryan, a Marine Corps veteran, former diesel mechanic, Christian mother, and modest fashion creator known online as Cheap Chic Finds. In this episode, Ms. Ryan shares her journey from joining the Marine Corps after high school, deploying to Iraq in 2009, working around construction equipment and military vehicles, and learning how to excel in a male-dominated environment while staying grounded in her faith and identity.Ms. Ryan and I also discuss her long road to motherhood, including infertility, IVF, pregnancy, miscarriage, and the emotional weight of trying to conceive while trusting God’s timing. She opens up about the joy of becoming a mother, the heartbreak of losing a child, and the medical emergency that nearly took her life after she began hemorrhaging and ultimately had to undergo a hysterectomy. This conversation touches on grief, motherhood, Christian faith, pregnancy loss, and the difficult questions many families face when walking through infertility and reproductive hardship.We also talk about the moral and spiritual complexity of IVF from a Christian perspective, the loneliness many women experience while trying to become mothers, and the hope Ms. Ryan continues to hold onto as her family explores surrogacy for their remaining embryos. Throughout the conversation, I connect her story to themes of faith, trauma, military mental health, and the biblical example of Hannah, showing how deeply motherhood, suffering, prayer, and trust in God can intersect.Later in the episode, Ms. Ryan shares how she became a modest fashion influencer by helping women find affordable, cute, and conservative clothing through Walmart, Target, and budget-friendly shopping. We discuss online criticism, spiritual warfare, Christian content creation, modesty, social media pressure, and how creators can keep shining their light even when negative comments try to silence them. This episode is a powerful conversation about surviving hardship, trusting God, honoring motherhood, and using your story to encourage others.https://www.cheapchicfinds.com/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/combat-veteran-exposes-the-truth-about-school/id1657865479?i=1000701429695Website: https://coupleonukes.comDiscounted Military Creator Con Tickets: http://militarycreatorcon.com/register?afmc=MCCMWExodus, Honor Your Heart, & Nulu Knives: https://www.coupleonukes.com/affiliates/Want to be a guest on Couple O' Nukes?
