When Life Rewrites the Equation: Colleen Clemens on Fertility, Resilience, and Becoming a Mother

In this deeply honest conversation, Amanda sits connects with author and educator Colleen Clemens to talk about her powerful memoir, E=mc², an unflinching look at her long and emotionally complex journey through infertility and the road to motherhood.

Colleen shares what it was like to live through a process that was physically demanding and emotionally raw, and why she chose to write about it with such candor. Rather than smoothing over the difficult moments, she invites readers and listeners into the full truth of the experience.

But this conversation moves beyond fertility. Amanda and Colleen explore the deeper questions that arise when life doesn’t unfold the way we expect:

How do we show up when we’re hurting?

What does resilience actually look like in real life?

How can we still choose joy and meaning, even during our hardest seasons?

They also reflect on the pressures young people face today, the importance of honest storytelling, and how living authentically can help us navigate life’s uncertainty.

This episode is a reminder that even in life’s most difficult chapters, there is power in telling the truth of our stories, and in choosing, day by day, how we want to live.
