During CFAW 2024, I had the privilege of hosting an IG Live series called "From The Sidelines" where I interviewed people who are on the sidelines of the journey and rarely get to speak about their experience of a fertility journey.

We recorded this as an IG Live, BUT also as a podcast! So if you missed it on the gram, here it is in podcast form.

Bleema Getz, Emily's MOM joins us to provide her POV of having live on the sidelines of Emily's journey. The focus of the conversation is finding the balance of how much to inform so they can support and at the same time being honest with boundaries. But also talking about the parent’s experience and pain and how they are navigating that.

On today's episode Emily is joined by her husband, Evan to give a big update on what moving forward has looked like over the past 5 months. They discuss the difficulty of decision making, how things are blurry and that is okay, the steps they took to get on the same page and where they are today and what the future looks like as they embark on a new journey.

Today we are joined by a very special person with a very special story. Brooke Tkatch joins us to dive into her 4+ year fertility journey, that has twists and turns like you couldn’t believe. Brooke takes us on a ride bravely sharing the ebbs and flows of her experience. With multiple rounds of IVF, over 8 transfers (of euploid embryos!), a surprise finding, an acceptance of moving to surrogacy and one of the most unexpected outcomes we have shared on the podcast! But this isn’t just about a story with a happy ending, it is a story of resiliency, growth and love and that is worth celebrating and honouring above all else.

In this episode, CJ Smith, a mindset coach and nervous system expert, discusses the impact of trauma on fertility and the role of neurosomatic intelligence in supporting the nervous system.

CJ explains that the nervous system is an input-output based system and that trauma can create dysregulation and a sense of unsafety in the body.

CJ also shares her personal journey to parenthood and highlights the intersection of spirituality and science in understanding the nervous system.

She also explores the power of nervous system work in navigating miscarriage and parenting. CJ concludes by offering advice for those starting their fertility journey and encourages finding meaning in every step of the process.

In honour of Eating Disorder Awareness Week here in Canada, Kyla Fox, a clinical eating disorder therapist for almost 20 years, joins Emily to speak to how we need to consider the different spectrums that are involved when we talk about eating disorders and how the theme of control is shared between those who are healing from a eating disorder and those on a fertility journey. They dive into how eating disorders can impact one's fertility future and how there are eating disorder habits that happen within a fertility journey that you might not have considered.

Kyla Fox is the founder of The Kyla Fox Centre - the first of its kind eating disorder recovery centre that treats those (across the entire spectrum) with eating disorders and disordered eating, along with actively supporting their loved ones.

On today's episode we hear from two close friends who embarked on a remarkable surrogacy journey together. Emily Palley-Samson and her husband faced a challenging period following the news that Emily wouldn't be able to carry her own children due to complications from an unguided D&C. In hearing the news, Stephanie and her husband extended an unbelievable gesture and life-changing offer. Join us as Emily recounts her journey from an early miscarriage to unexpected surrogacy, and discover how this experience has inspired her advocacy for women's health. We also gain valuable insight into Stephanie's perspective as she shares the profound experience of carrying her lifelong friend's baby.
