I’m honored to have such an amazing guest speaking about a topic that is now very personal to me. In this episode I share about my own infertility journey and how it’s impacted my career path. I’ve wrestled with sharing this so publicly, but when I first went through fertility treatments I couldn’t find many resources about this topic and work. I want to help other women who are going through an infertility diagnosis and trying to figure out how to stay sane and just make it to work every day. This is by far the hardest problem I’ve ever faced. If you personally don’t struggle with infertility, the data shows that you know someone who is struggling or has in the past (one in eight couples has some type of fertility issue), so it’s important to know how to talk about it and support other women. Camille discusses how to help an employee or coworker going through infertility treatments, how to handle your boss if you’re about to go through fertility treatments yourself and how to talk about this sensitive topic with others. Camille Hawkins is an entrepreneur, advocate, mental health counselor, and the founder of the Utah Infertility Resource Center. She holds both a bachelors and masters degree in social work as well as a certificate in nonprofit management. Camille was recognized by Utah Business Magazine as a 20 in Their 20’s honoree and given the Early Career Community Award by Utah State’s Women & Gener Studies Department. She is actively involved in local advocacy, research, teaching, and community outreach as well as directly helping therapy clients one-on-one with reproductive trauma and perinatal mental health concerns.

Livlyhood host Britt Larsen chats about the habits that women need to build before asking for a raise. Too often the focus of a raise is on the ASK, instead of the behavior you need to change BEFORE the ask that will lead to getting what you want. It is critical that you are set up for success and focused on improving your results so that you get promoted. If you don’t make changes now you won’t get the raise you want later!
