#87 Brave Conversations with Lisa Choney

November 13, 2024 • Cassie Silver • Season 3 • Episode 87

In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with the incredibly brave Lisa Choney, who opens up about her journey through unimaginable challenges and triumphs. After battling an eating disorder herself, Lisa faced another unexpected hurdle — her husband's diagnosis of azoospermia, or male infertility. With their dreams of having a biological child hanging in the balance, they embarked on an emotional path through ICSI, three egg retrievals, a TESA procedure, a TESE surgery, multiple specialists, and four transfers. Their resilience was rewarded with the arrival of their miracle daughter. Lisa's story is not just one of perseverance through infertility but also a reflection on body image, self-worth, and the values she'll instill in her daughter. This episode is a testament to hope, love, and the power of never giving up.
