Public triumphs and private heartbreaks: Collective Hub founder Lisa Messenger on disrupting the publishing industry and her eight-year conception journey
Publicly, a burgeoning business that led her to New York for a meeting with Anna Wintour and to sharing the stage with Richard Branson on multiple occasions.
And privately: eight years, 18 rounds of IVF, and a friend willing to carry her baby, all in pursuit of becoming a mother.
This is an incredible story of how Collective Hub founder Lisa Messenger has made work alongside her challenging journey to parenthood work.
Here, we talk staying open, how she got through sixteen phone calls telling her the news she didn't want to hear, and what the surrogacy journey has looked like.
In this episode, Lisa also generously shares a discount code for Ready or Not listeners: use code READYORNOT20 for 20% off all Collective Hub products.
