This week, Nikki sits down with her lifelong friend, Carol, who is preparing for a hysterectomy and oophorectomy after a long journey with endometrial cancer. At 44, she’s facing the reality that she’ll never be able to carry children — a loss she’s spent years fighting to prevent through egg freezing, cancer treatments and hope. In this deeply personal conversation, Carol shares the heartbreak, courage, and surrender that come with saying goodbye to her fertility while entering surgical menopause. Together, they talk about grief, resilience, and what it means to keep hope alive in the face of profound change.

Carol shares:

  • Her experience navigating endometrial cancer and the treatments she tried to preserve fertility
  • The emotional reality of needing a hysterectomy and ovary removal after exhausting every other option
  • Coping with the grief of infertility and the loss of a dream she held onto for years
  • How she’s preparing mentally, physically, and emotionally for the surgery
  • The support, resilience, and self-compassion she’s leaning on during this difficult time

In this episode we discuss facing loss, confronting life-altering medical decisions, and finding strength in moments of uncertainty.
