E263｜Fertility coaching and pivoting for business success
*Trigger warning: this podcast episode discusses infertility.*
Your husband quits his job to help you build the next phase of your business only for the panic of the pandemic to hit just a couple of months later.
Your thriving face-to-face career supporting women in their 40s through complex fertility issues needs to pivot…fast…but you’re homeschooling one child while breastfeeding another.
And you’re beginning to wonder how you’re going to pay the bills.
What would you do?
For Naava Carman, necessity was the mother of invention.
She quickly realised she could share her knowledge to build a global online training platform for practitioners keen to support women in their fertility journey.
And as you’ll hear, Naava’s story shows it’s possible to:
➡️ Successfully redefine the roles in marriage to allow for the creation of a business that is joyful for both people.
➡️ Navigate down periods and setbacks and come out stronger… if you allow your entrepreneurial brain the freedom to explore ideas.
➡️ Get help for complex fertility issues, particularly when you're in your 40s
