The Other Way

113: Navigating Infertility: Endometriosis and IVF (SOLO)


Listen Later

Hi friends, it’s Kasia — and today, I’m dropping in with a solo episode that’s deeply personal. I’m sharing an update on my fertility journey, including my recent diagnosis of stage four endometriosis and the path I’ve been walking with IVF, pain, and uncertainty.

This episode is for anyone navigating the silent, often invisible world of chronic health issues — especially those that impact fertility. I talk about the emotional weight of receiving a severe diagnosis, the maze of medical decisions, and the moments that brought me to my knees — and also back to my breath.

You’ll hear about the practices that have supported me: meditation, therapy, spirituality, and the small rituals that have helped me stay connected to myself in the midst of it all. My hope is that this conversation feels like a soft landing — whether you’re in the thick of something similar or simply holding space for someone you love.

Let’s begin.
