Infertility often leaves women asking a hard, quiet question—So now what?

This week on Purpose Beyond Motherhood, we sit down with Lana Manikowski, whose story reflects that very question. After years of trying, praying, and hoping, Lana faced the reality of a life without biological children.

What followed was a journey of rediscovering purpose.

In the middle of a pandemic and a season of personal reflection, Lana chose to start sharing her story—publicly. She launched The So Now What Podcast, created a gathering called Others Day Brunch to honor women navigating infertility, and became a certified life coach.

Lana’s story is raw, real, and deeply encouraging. She reminds us that our identity is found in Christ—not in our circumstances, diagnosis, or motherhood status.

In this episode, we talk about:

Her emotional journey through infertility

The healing process that followed

How she serves other women through coaching, events, and her writing

This is the episode for the woman still holding grief, still asking “what now?”, and still believing there has to be more.
