Welcome to Season 3 on SOULFUL IVF!

This episode is extra special as I'm introducing you to one of my besties, Carlyn.
She is one of the most inspiring people I know. Despite being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and the death of best friends as a young adult, she has always turned her stumbling blocks into stepping stones, showing the power of perspective to inspire people to shift limiting beliefs and take inspired action.
 
Through her personal story, Carlyn emphasizes the transformative power of authentic connections, a simple smile, and embracing vulnerability. Her mission, through Strangers to Friends, is to spread joy, foster empathy, and create meaningful, almost magical, connections, that break barriers and invite unlimited possibilities. With colorful shirts and swag representing her signature phrase  "Whoever Smiles First Wins," Carlyn reminds us the choice we are given every day to show up for ourselves and others and how the smallest gesture can spark profound change.

In the shadow of profound loss and the trials of fertility challenges, finding a path to healing can seem daunting. For many, the journey through such darkness can lead to unexpected places of light and beauty. This is especially true for one remarkable woman who, after experiencing the heartbreak of two ectopic pregnancies, found solace and strength in the creation of beauty and the practice of self-care rituals. 

Meet Kelly Kussman, the founder of Cayla Gray, a luxury clean fragrance line. Her journey to creating a company was born out of a deeply personal and heart-wrenching experience with fertility loss. In this episode, Kelly opens up about her story, sharing the challenges and the triumphs that have shaped her business.

The loss of two pregnancies in such a traumatic manner is a sorrow few can fully comprehend. Yet, from this pain, a new purpose emerged. Turning to the nurturing power of nature, she began crafting beauty products that symbolize rebirth and renewal. Each item is more than just a product; it is a testament to resilience and the human spirit’s capacity to transform suffering into something profoundly beautiful.

Her journey has been one of creating small, daily rituals that honor self-care and healing. These rituals are woven into the fabric of her life, offering moments of peace and connection in the midst of chaos. They are designed to remind us all of the importance of taking time for ourselves, of nurturing our bodies and spirits, and of finding beauty even in the darkest times.

In this episode you’ll learn:

👉 How not only one, but two ruptured ectopic pregnancies changed Kelly's life and led her on a journey of introspection and healing.

👉 The significance of honoring those lost and how this became the cornerstone of Cayla Gray’s mission.

👉 The importance of ingredient transparency in the fragrance industry, especially for women on their fertility journey.

👉 Why scent can be a powerful tool for self-care and how Kelly is creating fragrances to tell stories and evoke cherished memories.

Join us for a heartfelt conversation that explores the intersection of grief, resilience, and creativity, and how one woman’s journey through loss has brought beauty and meaning to so many others.
