In this episode, we sit down with Rachel Goldberg, a Los Angeles therapist who specializes in perinatal mental health and eating disorders. 

As someone who works with individuals across all stages of infertility, including those using third-party reproduction methods like donors and gestational carriers, Rachel sheds light on how the emotional toll of infertility can manifest in unexpected ways. She also provides real-world advice on how to cope with the infamous two-week wait, the constant rollercoaster of emotions, and the anxiety and depression that many face during this journey. You’ll hear her insights on how to maintain emotional resilience, the importance of setting boundaries, and how to preserve your sense of self in the midst of uncertainty.

Morgan and Rachel also discuss common misconceptions about infertility, including the myth that infertility is only a female issue and the damaging advice to "just relax" and let it happen. They explore how friends and loved ones can be better allies, offering support in meaningful ways rather than well-intentioned but misguided comments. Rachel’s wisdom helps listeners understand that while the infertility journey may be long, emotional, and filled with uncertainty, it’s also survivable — and no one has to go through it alone.

Tune in for an episode full of empathy, practical advice, and a deep dive into the emotional side of infertility that too often goes unspoken. Whether you're personally navigating infertility or seeking ways to support someone who is, this conversation is sure to provide clarity and comfort.
