All That Triggers

SEASON TWO {EP 9} - TRIGGER WARNING for this episode. ⁣

⁣

In this episode we speak with Fanoula Anasta about the loss of her son, Luke, at 23 weeks. Fanoula so gracefully shares with us her story of experiencing an IC (Incompetent Cervix) during this pregnancy, her time on bed rest and how she has chosen to honour her Lukey. There wasn't a dry eye in the studio, and we both want to thank Fanoula and her beautiful family for sharing this with us. Your bravery and the outpouring of love you expressed is nothing short of amazing. ⁣

This episode is for all of our beautiful babies who grew their tiny wings. ⁣

⁣

This episode was filmed, but due to some technical difficulties, we've decided to just stick with the audio so our community can hear the entire episode. It's important this story is told without any interruptions. ⁣

SJ & Zoe.

We are back in the studio and we couldn't be more excited! ⁣

⁣

After a little hiatus, we've got a lot to get through! In this episode we chat about our own life updates, including: kids, work & relationships, as well as egg freezing, secondary infertility & sibling age gaps, our Netflix recommendations (duh!), life post-lockdown(ssss) & lots more! ⁣

⁣

We have wonderful season ahead planned for our ATT community, so buckle-up! We've got you! ⁣

In this episode, the girls chatted to Sarah Jefford who not only is a Surrogacy Lawyer but her herself went through IVF, donated her eggs and was a surrogate......we now call her an angel!

In a very interesting chat, all topics were covered and Sarah described her time as a surrogate and the choice to donate her eggs. Sarah has written a book 'More Than Just A Baby' which is available to purchase.

A really great listen!

The girls continue their Q&A episode.

More great questions both personal and infertility related.

They also feature a special little guest - Miss Mia, SJ's little girl!

On this episode, Zoe & SJ chat to Number 1 Fertility's - Nurse Caron. They discuss the role of a fertility nurse and their contribution during a patients IVF journey. Also, how Caron gathers the courage to make 'that call'!

We hope you enjoy this really fun Q&A.

We've gathered and answered all your submitted questions ranging from sex toys and pregnancy anxiety.....right through to our favourite recipes.

We had so many that we turned them into two episodes! All the more fun.

In episode 3 we chat with Whitney Sloan - a dear friend of SJ's. We hear all about her experience with PCOS, the IVF process for her family, tested embryos, her first transfer resulting in a twin pregnancy and her second pregnancy resulting in an emergency c-section. Whitney opens up about her incredibly traumatic delivery with her son and waking-up in ICU to learn her uterus had ruptured, which meant they had to perform a hysterectomy. We also hear about her remaining embryos and how she has come to some sort of peace knowing this is the end of the road for them. Triggers warning RE birth stories.

In this episode we speak to Tanja Mulcahy who is a Melbourne based Rapid Transformational Therapist and hypnotherapist, specialising in fertility and pregnancy. Tanja shares with us her own IVF story, her experience with male infertility and multiple miscarriages, a change of career and how she believes hypnotherapy helped her conceive after a long battle with secondary infertility.

This has been one of our favourite episodes to record and our tiny minds were blown wide open! We hope you enjoy our chat with Tanja as much as we did.

Lockdown's back and so are we!

We've taken some time away to re-energise - Zoe's had Donny & SJ's recapping Netflix. The girls chat about going through 'special occasions' like Mother's Day whilst struggling with infertility. Lots of laughs and a lighthearted episode to start the season.

We've done it - a whole season of us talking about our lives! Interesting much?

We end season one with more laughs, highlights & lowlights, news for next season and we actually video recorded this episode so you can see us in action very soon on YouTube!

Thank you all for your beautiful and endless support. We have loved creating this space in the most wonderful community and look forward to sharing more next season.
