Are you wondering what it’s like to embark on the journey of motherhood later in life? Maybe you’re a new mother in her 40s, or thinking of having kids later on in life. In this episode, I have a profound conversation with Victoria Lauture Duncker from "New Mommy at 40." Victoria, a multifaceted artist, storyteller, and advocate, shared her inspiring journey of becoming a mother in her 40s and the incredible work she is doing to support women navigating similar paths.
Victoria’s journey to motherhood is both unique and inspiring. She started her career in musical theater and film, influenced by the powerful voices of women in her family. Despite her vibrant career, she always wondered when her journey to motherhood would begin. Victoria humorously shares her experience, noting the industry’s tendency to value youth, which led many of her colleagues to delay motherhood. At 40, she met her husband, and within a year, they were married and expecting their first child.
Her journey wasn’t without its challenges, including struggles with fibroids, PCOS, and fertility. Victoria was determined to break societal stigmas and advocate for herself and others. Through her experiences, she created the "New Mommy at 40" podcast to empower other women, share stories, and build a supportive community.
Victoria offers advice to women considering motherhood later in life:
1. Breathe and Manage Stress: Stress never helps, so it's crucial to find ways to relax and manage anxiety about the future.
2. Stay Informed: Understand your anatomy and reproductive health.
3. Explore Options: Consider cryopreservation and other fertility options to keep future possibilities open.
4. Seek Support: Build a support system of like-minded individuals who understand your journey.
5. Advocate for Yourself: Don’t hesitate to ask questions and seek the care you deserve.
