A Speaker Every Aspiring Mother Needs to Hear
Society tells women we can be anything. But no one teaches us how to plan for motherhood.
If you’re tired of waiting, doubting, and delaying to start a family, it’s time to reclaim your power!
Through engaging keynotes and intimate workshops, I share my lived experience and practical approach to become a mother on your own terms—Prince Charming not required.

This is where the fairy tale ends and your happily ever after begins.

“Experts say 1 in 5 mothers struggle with their mental health. Avery Travis and Sally Hernandez sat down with Cheri Bergeron, a Lakeway mother and author of a book detailing her struggle with infertility in her book Mission: Motherhood.”

The Ticking Clock
You’ve waited, dated, and hoped “Mr. Right” would arrive and give you the fairy tale family. But time isn’t on your side, and the pressure is mounting.
Fertility declines. Relationships fall apart. And you ask yourself: “Should I wait a little bit longer?” Even as your biological clock whispers, “Now.”
Ambitious women face impossible trade‑offs—abandoning dreams, breaking tradition, or risking heartbreak—and yet the longing to become a mother grows louder every day.
What if achieving your dream of motherhood isn’t dependent on timing or traditional scripts?
Your Path Forward
There’s no one-size-fits-all version of motherhood, but there is a path that’s right for you.
When the traditional route doesn’t work out, most women are left with silence, stigma, or second-guessing. That’s where my work comes in.
Through my talks and workshops, I help women explore real options, whether that means donor conception, solo parenting, IVF, fostering, adoption, or simply giving themselves permission to want more.
You don’t need to wait for perfect circumstances. You need clarity, community, and a plan that reflects your truth.
Let’s light the way so you can move forward with confidence.
Mission: Motherhood
Rewrite the script. Reclaim your story.
This isn’t just a memoir. It’s a roadmap for women ready to build a family on their own terms. From fertility clinics to courtrooms, Mission: Motherhood walks you through the raw truth of what it takes to create life outside the lines. I share how I navigated heartbreak, healthcare failures, and a groundbreaking legal battle over donor-conceived parenting in Texas. I wrote this book to let women to know they don’t have to face infertility alone.
Inside, you’ll find:
Real stories of resilience, loss, and healing
Hard-earned lessons on fertility, custody, and solo parenting
Emotional tools to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered
This is the book I wish I had when I started.
It won’t hand you the answers. But it will give you the strength to ask better questions—and write your own happily ever after.

About The Author
I built a career in high-tech marketing, but no boardroom win ever quieted the voice inside me that wanted to be a mom. That longing pulled me through foster parenting, fertility treatments, donor conception, devastating loss, and even a landmark child custody battle in Texas.
Today, I use that experience to guide other women. I’m a speaker and as a certified life coach and founder of Cheri’s Choice, I help women explore all their options and create the family they’ve dreamed of without waiting for “perfect” circumstances.
I live in Austin, Texas, with my beautifully blended, completely unconventional family. I’m living proof: you don’t need a prince to live out your purpose. You just need a plan, some grit, and the courage to write your own story.
