WHEN THE LIFE YOU PLANNED NO LONGER FITS

WITH JUSTINE LAPOINTE

ABOUT THE EPISODE

Many of us spend years building a life we thought we wanted—only to discover that at some point, it no longer feels aligned with who we are becoming.

In this episode of Unapologetic, Erin sits down with fertility coach and former lawyer Justine Lapointe to explore the realities of fertility, motherhood, advocacy, and the courage it takes to choose a different path.

Drawing from her own experience with secondary infertility, Justine shares how a deeply personal journey led her to leave a successful legal career and create a practice supporting women through some of life's most challenging and uncertain seasons.

Together, Erin and Justine discuss invisible labor, workplace expectations, redefining success, and what happens when the systems around us don't fully reflect the realities of women's lives.

This conversation is about more than fertility. It's about listening to yourself, embracing change, and finding the courage to build a life that fits the person you've become.

Because sometimes growth isn't about achieving the plan.

It's about recognizing when the plan no longer fits.
