89: Stories of Hope, featuring Jen Goddard

In this episode of Miss Style, Strength, and Grace, host Deidra Murphy continues the Stories of Hope series—conversations designed to uplift and connect women navigating the challenges of infertility and alternative paths to motherhood.

This week’s guest is Dr. Jen Goddard, USOA’s Mrs. Maine, a Board Certified Doctor of Natural Health, and founder of Thriving Proof, a holistic health practice in Brewer, Maine.

Jen shares her deeply personal journey to motherhood, including how she conceived her first child naturally but later faced unexpected infertility struggles while trying to conceive her second son. Her story is a powerful reminder that fertility journeys are not always linear—and that healing and hope can come from both science and the soul.

Through her work at Thriving Proof, Jen now helps women holistically navigate hormone balance, chronic stress, fertility issues, and overall wellness. She blends personal experience with professional expertise to support others on their paths to parenthood and healing.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

• Jen’s motherhood story: from natural conception to infertility and beyond

• The emotional toll of secondary infertility

• How holistic and natural health practices can support fertility and overall wellness

• Encouragement for women exploring alternative methods of becoming a mom

• Jen’s role as a mother of three and grandmother of three, and what she’s learned along the way
