“I pushed for additional tests, I changed doctors when I felt unheard, and I insisted on rechecking all of my health conditions before proceeding with treatments. That persistence made all the difference in my journey.”
In honor of National Infertility Awareness Week, Stephanie Cartin opens her heart and shares a story that is so much more than personal—it’s a testament to the power of resilience, hope, and community. In a deeply moving conversation with Randi Zinn, women’s mentor and founder of the Group Experience, Stephanie brings us behind the scenes of her journey—from the heartbreak of fertility treatments and the fears of a high-risk pregnancy to the miracle of welcoming her daughter, Mollie.
This episode is not just about one woman’s experience. It’s about what becomes possible when women come together, lift one another up, and believe fiercely in miracles—whether in motherhood, entrepreneurship, or life. Stephanie’s honesty reminds us that in the hardest moments, it’s often the strength of our community that carries us forward.
If you’re navigating your own fertility journey or facing challenges in building your dreams, know this: you are never alone. Every step, every small victory, every single day of perseverance is a miracle in itself.
Tune in for a conversation that will leave you feeling seen, supported, and connected—because when women come together, miracles aren’t just possible. They’re inevitable.
