Making Babies Ain't Easy (Or Cheap): Infertility Support


Listen Later

Breaking the silence around infertility isn't easy—but neither is pretending you're fine when Karen from accounting suggests "just relaxing" will help you get pregnant. This week, Dr. Vaneeta Sandhu, founder of the Fertility Wellness Collective, brings her expertise as both a clinical psychologist and someone who's walked the infertility path herself. From navigating the emotional minefield of IVF to dealing with well-meaning but clueless friends, we dive deep into the psychological impact of fertility challenges. Taylor shares his own IVF journey, while Jeremie explores the reality of future family planning with CF. Plus, we tackle the uncomfortable truth about how expensive it is to make a baby when your body needs a little extra help. Whether you're in the thick of it or supporting someone who is, this episode strips away the awkwardness and gets real about what it means to face infertility.
