Episode Details

Infertility is often treated as a medical issue — but for those living it, the emotional and mental toll can be just as heavy.

In this episode, we’re joined by Olivia, a fertility coach, to explore the emotional side of trying to conceive. Together, we talk about the stress, grief, self-blame, and isolation that can come with infertility, as well as how mindset, self-compassion, and supportive tools can help people feel more grounded through the journey.

Olivia shares insight from her work supporting individuals and couples navigating fertility challenges, including how to cope with setbacks, manage triggers like pregnancy announcements and family gatherings, and stay connected to your body without falling into pressure or perfectionism.

Whether you’re actively trying to conceive, supporting someone who is, or simply want a more honest conversation about fertility and mental health, this episode offers validation, practical tools, and gentle reminders that you’re not alone.

Listener note: This episode discusses infertility and emotional challenges related to trying to conceive. Please take care while listening.
