436 – Fibroids, Infertility and Mommy in Waiting with Shana-Lee Scott

Erica Michelle

In today’s episode, Author, Shana-Lee Scott, vulnerably shares her ongoing journey through infertility after being diagnosed with 33 uterine fibroids following her 2017 marriage. After three doctors recommended a hysterectomy, Shannon’s faith and persistence led her to a surgeon in Florida who successfully removed all 33 fibroids — saving her womb. 

Years of trying to conceive, a 2023 fertility clinic visit recommending surrogacy, and seasons of wrestling with God have shaped Shannon into a voice of hope for women in the waiting. She discusses her 40-day devotional Mommy In Waiting, her work with a fertility doula, and the importance of building the right care team and faith community while surrendering the timeline to God.
