From IVF to Motherhood: The Unfiltered Truth with Robyn Flynn

In this episode of If I Knew Then: Mom Edition, I sit down with Robyn Flynn: an IVF mom, podcast producer, and former radio host—for an honest conversation about the parts of motherhood no one really prepares you for.

Robyn shares her deeply personal fertility and IVF journey, the emotional weight of waiting to become a mother, and how that journey shaped the way she now sees parenting. We talk about the early days of pregnancy, the pressure around feeding choices, and how unsolicited advice can feel overwhelming, especially when you're already doing your best.

We also dig into how motherhood changes your identity, how to handle comparisons, and why building a strong support system matters more than ever. Robyn shares what it was like to leave a career in radio and launch her own business while raising a daughter she fought so hard to have. Her story is full of warmth, honesty, and reminders that you’re not alone in this.

Whether you’re a hopeful parent, a new mom, or someone deep in the trenches of toddlerhood, this conversation will resonate.

We talk about:

• The emotional highs and lows of IVF

• What it’s really like to go through fertility treatments

• How motherhood looks different when you’ve waited so long for it

• Breastfeeding struggles and feeding choices

• Dealing with advice you didn’t ask for

• Finding joy in small, everyday parenting moments

• Robyn’s transition from radio to podcasting

• Creating a life that works for you as a mom
