On the day that 40-year-old Wendy Posillico was ready to undergo her in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure, she was stunned when the doctor asked if she had considered finding an egg donor. Heartbroken and devastated by his doubt in the viability of her own eggs, she asked his top RN, "Why am I doing this if he doesn't think I can do it?"
Thankfully, the nurse gave Wendy some great advice and simply said, "Don't listen to him." That advice turned out to be monumental as it led to her biggest and most favorite blessing, her beautiful daughter Josephine June.
Wendy is an coach for athletes, parents, and business people. She helps her clients navigate periods of transition, instigate their souls, disrupt their norms, and connect with who they are. As a former Class A LPGA teaching professional, Wendy traveled with Hall of Famer Betsy King, where she quickly became involved with the Golf Fore Africa foundation. She has served on the board of directors for clean water initiatives since 2009, and has had a myriad of accomplishments along that journey of her own discovery.
In this episode, Wendy talks about the significant negativity she faced in deciding to have a child on her own, without a man in her life, the difficulty surrounding IVF, and the importance of finding people who believe in you especially on an unconventional journey.
