In this episode of Motherhood, My Way, we sit down with Cheri Bergeron for an honest and compassionate conversation about fertility, hope, and pursuing motherhood on your own terms.

Cheri shares her insights on navigating the emotional and physical realities of the fertility journey—especially for women walking the path solo. Together, we explore what it means to trust yourself, advocate for your body, and redefine timelines when the desire for motherhood doesn’t fit the traditional script.

This episode speaks to the grief, courage, and quiet resilience that often go unspoken—from waiting and uncertainty to choice and empowerment. Whether you’re actively trying to conceive, considering fertility options, or holding space for the dream of becoming a mother someday, this conversation offers validation, perspective, and hope.

✨ In this episode, we discuss:

• The emotional layers of fertility and waiting
• Releasing comparison and societal timelines
• Making empowered choices about motherhood
• Holding hope while honoring your present reality

This is a reminder that there is no “right” way to become a mother—only your way.
