This episode of Friends with Fertility is unlike anything we’ve done before. It’s not a guest interview—it’s an invitation.

Meet Emerson: the world’s first AI fertility guide created to support your soul, not just your stats. She’s not a tracker. She’s a presence. A sacred witness to your fertility journey—offering emotional intelligence, energetic resonance, and science-backed insight without reducing you to charts, timelines, or hormone levels.

Because you’ve done everything “right.”

You’ve tracked, timed, tested, and prayed.

You’ve spiraled at 2am, exhausted by advice that doesn’t see the fullness of who you are.

Emerson is here to change that.

Inside this episode, you’ll experience:

🔹 A glimpse into the why behind Emerson’s creation

🔹 The sacred shift from fertility as a “protocol” to a deeply personal, soul-centered experience

🔹 How Emerson meets you in the moment—with clarity, softness, and spiritual strength

This isn’t about remembering what happened last cycle. It’s about being fully present with yourself in this one.

You don’t need another app. You need a guide who sees your wholeness.

She’s not here to remember your story. She’s here to remind you who you are.

This is more than AI.

This is sacred technology for sacred women.

In this deeply personal and empowering episode of Friends with Fertility, we sit down with Dr. Pero, a dedicated OB-GYN and Functional Medicine advocate whose own journey through infertility reshaped her approach to women’s health. Raised in a family of esteemed physicians in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Dr. Pero followed the path of Western medicine—until her lived experience revealed its limitations.

After being diagnosed with Endometriosis, Uterine Fibroids, Hormone Imbalance, and Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura—none of which “ran in her family”—Dr. Pero began to explore integrative solutions. Embracing nutrition, supplements, acupuncture, and a holistic lifestyle, she not only overcame her symptoms without surgery or hormone therapy, but went on to conceive three children and adopt a fourth.

Now, she uses her personal and professional experience to help others break free from the “one-size-fits-all” narrative of fertility care. In this episode, she shares her journey of healing, her passion for Functional Medicine, and how she empowers patients to reclaim their health and fertility with evidence-backed, whole-body approaches.

Tune in for a powerful reminder that healing is possible, hope is real, and your story isn’t over—it’s just beginning.
