My very first solo episode is the most personal episode to date and marks the start of my fertility series. In the episode I open up about my personal experience with IVF and share my 5 main tips that helped me go through it.

I also included one bonus tip for anyone who knows someone going through this process and is not sure for how they can best support.

Opening up about this to my friends and now sharing it now more broadly has truly been incredibly helpful for me so feel free to ask any questions in the comments if you would like to see more content on this topic.

And for anyone currently going through their personal fertility journey: I see you, I am you, we got this ♡
