"It all seemed like a massive crapshoot" with Lana Burton

Lana Burton is an educator, a mom of two, wife and rugby referee & one of the most fiercely honest, unflinchingly real voices you'll hear this season. She joins Cindy to talk about what happens when you want something with every fiber of your being, but your body betrays you, and no one can tell you why. Her epic quest to become a mother was fraught with more than a dozen failed rounds of IVF, and then eventually into forced menopause. Lana details very honestly not just the physical but the emotional cost that no one warned her about.  There is a persistent grief she carried in moving through a world that never learned how to hold space for women trying to make a family at any cost.  Lana is unfiltered and unapologetic, but more than anything, she's generous. She's sharing her story because she wished someone had when she needed it most.  You'll feel her frustration and her relief, sometimes in the same breath. This one is for you if you have ever felt invisible in your pain.  Lana's kids Book Cindy's website: www.becoached.ca
