For many women, the transition into motherhood—especially after years of trying—can feel different than expected.

In this episode, Chelsea sits down with Lauren Dewey—mom of two and founder of Brooksybox—to talk about her journey through infertility, navigating IVF alongside her career, and what it really felt like to step into postpartum after years of trying to conceive.

Lauren shares:

  • the loss of control that comes with trying to conceive
  • the identity shift after baby and redefining success beyond career
  • the emotional reality of returning to work—and what happens when that path no longer fits
  • the 2am moment that changed everything and led her to start her business
  • how Brooksy Box is supporting women through infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood

If you’re trying to conceive, going through IVF, pregnant after infertility, or navigating new motherhood and postpartum identity changes—this conversation will meet you where you are.
