IVF, Burnout & Depression: Motherhood Real Talk with Ciara Lyons
Feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or alone in your motherhood journey?
In this raw and real episode, Ciara Lyons shares her story of infertility, IVF, generational trauma, and how she’s building a wellness movement for Black women—one rooted in rest, softness, and self-advocacy.
As the founder of Her Black Wellness, Ciara is creating space for women who feel unseen. Her journey through loss, burnout, and rediscovering purpose is a powerful reminder that you don’t have to do it all to be worthy.
💬 “I ain’t every woman… it ain’t all in me. And I had to learn that I don’t have to do it all. I’m allowed to rest.” – Ciara
We dive into:
- The invisible weight mothers carry—and why “doing it all” is a myth
- What it means to “stand in the gap” for women navigating trauma
- Grief, IVF, and finding purpose through pain
- High emotions, toddler meltdowns, and motherhood’s mental load
- How building community can heal you—and others
- Why your story matters, even if it still feels tender
