56. 'Big Miracles' Star Shelia V & Her Public Journey to Motherhood
Your feedback means so much hello@ivfsupportspace.com
In this episode I had the pleasure of speaking with Sheila V, an ex-corporate executive turned author, spiritual coach and motivational speaker, who found herself being featured in 'Big Miracles' the tv series, and sharing her vulnerable yet heartfelt journey to motherhood.
At 47, Sheila embarked on a path she never envisioned, one that led her to become a donor egg mother. Her journey was not easy, there were complications and challenges, multiple IVF attempts before opting for donor eggs, but despite these hurdles, Sheila's narrative is one of extraordinary resilience and gratitude, which remained her guiding light.
As Sheila stands on the brink of becoming a mother as we record this, her thoughts on preparing to share her child’s unique conception story highlight the significance of honesty, love and building a foundation of trust. Her story goes beyond the experience of becoming a mother; it's about a woman's metamorphosis through embracing every aspect of her journey with courage.
