rying to conceive can feel like a rollercoaster—filled with hope, pressure, and so many emotions. 🌀
And while everyone talks about ovulation trackers and timing, few talk about the relationship strain TTC can cause.

In this episode, I’m joined by Erin McCaffrey Crespo, a fertility expert and doula, for a raw and supportive convo about how to stay emotionally and physically connected with your partner when trying to conceive starts to feel more like a job than a joy.

Together, we unpack:

  • How to maintain real intimacy when sex becomes scheduled

  • The surprising myths about fertility—and what actually matters

  • Practical ways to reconnect emotionally and sexually

  • Why open communication is the relationship tool you can’t skip during TTC

Whether you're actively TTC, thinking about it, or supporting a partner or friend on the journey—this episode is filled with comfort, clarity, and no-BS support. 🤍

🎧 Listen in for insights that will help you protect your bond, preserve pleasure, and feel less alone in the process.
