My 8th and final episode of the Creative Conception podcast is a special one, where I interview my sister Josée. After having a straightforward first pregnancy with her daughter, Jo and her husband Greg, overcame a number of obstacles before eventually having their sons. Jo and I chat about the role her spiritual side played in her fertility journey after medical interventions were unsuccessful.

Matt and his wonderful husband Chad are married and live in Canada. They knew they wanted a family together and they knew the road to creating their family wouldn‘t be easy. Matt takes us through their whole journey which spans a few years and involves egg donation, surrogacy, and the rollercoaster of becoming new parents. Matt shares insights on setting boundaries, asking for help, and connecting with those that have gone before. Thank you Matt, it was a delight chatting with you.

For my sixth episode of the Creative Conception podcast, I interview my friend Heidi. Heidi has experienced and overcome a huge number of fertility obstacles including miscarriages and ectopic pregnancy, and shares her journey so openly and honestly. Her strength and determination are inspiring.

In Ep05, I chat with Narelle about her incredible story of becoming a single mum via sperm donor. I‘ve known Narelle for over 10 years and she‘s funny, bright, insightful, and courageous.  In her journey, she shares how she kept ending up with partners who didn‘t share her desire to start a family, and how she decided to have a baby on her own.

In this episode, I have the absolute pleasure of chatting with Cassie Silver, former Channel 7 journalist and current media company Boss Lady. Cassie is 2 years deep in her IVF journey and we chat about IVF, hyperstimulation syndrome, embryo sweepstakes, the importance of mental health, trusting your medical team, and finding a good source of information to educate yourself.

From experiencing in fertility clinics in 4 countries and IVF in Australia, France, and Switzerland she has incredible insights to share. In this episode we chat about going through many rounds of IVF, the importance of testing both partners for fertility issues, considering surrogacy, when to get a second opinion, and how her partner always knew they would end up with children.

My sister is an amazing mum to four kids, two girls and two boys...and she managed to only give birth twice.  She had an incredible family creation journey and we chat about all the ups and downs along the way - from being a single mum, to adopting her partner's child, to struggling to conceive children together, then becoming pregnant with twins.  She has some crazy stories to share and profound insights to help anyone in a similar situation.

Episode 01 is an overview of my fertility journey through alternative health supplements to six years of injections, doctors appointments, different clinics, egg collections and embryo transfers to egg donation in South Africa.

Welcome to the Creative Conception Podcast, which is dedicated to sharing inspiring stories of fertility and family creation.
