WE ARE BAAAACK!

Trigger warning: This episode contains discussion of pregnancy loss, recurrent miscarriage, IVF, and TFMR (termination for medical reasons). Please take care of yourself as you listen. While we do talk about incredibly tough experiences, the conversation is shared with compassion and honesty and it’s one that ultimately leaves you feeling hopeful, supported, and uplifted.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in an endless cycle of exhaustion while trying to bring home a baby, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.

For years, you’ve heard me talk about mindset, wellbeing and community as the three things that transform the journey.

But today I’m introducing you to someone who has been helping me hold this space behind the scenes since the very beginning; my right-hand lady, ⁠Lucy Sanger.⁠

This is the first time Lucy has shared her fertility story fully even while she's been supporting hundreds of women through the Life Raft's courses and membership.

From multiple pregnancy losses, to the heartbreak of being told by a consultant to “stop trying,” to the surreal experience of shipping embryos abroad, this is an incredible story and a chance for me to show off how fabulous my Ops Director is!

We talk about:

Why clinic relationships matter just as much as protocols

How to hold on to your sense of autonomy when decisions feel out of your hands

The role of connection and community in surviving the lowest points

What it looks like to keep moving forward, even when it feels impossible

The financial implications of private IVF

Whether you’re right at the beginning or you’ve been trying for years, I know you’ll find hope, strength, and a reminder that you don’t have to do this alone in Lucy’s story.
