Sam Diamond, co-founder of Bird&Be, is on a mission to revolutionize reproductive health. From her own experience with pregnancy loss to raising millions from investors like Brian Lee (Honest Company), Sam shares the raw truth about fertility stigma, miscarriage, IVF, and why men play a much bigger role in infertility than most people realize.
This is the fertility conversation you wish you’d had sooner - honest, practical, and backed by science.
We cover:
Why male infertility is the leading cause of IVF in Canada
How to test fertility at home (for both men & women) before spending years trying
The hidden fertility red flags in your 20s and 30s
Why stress, sleep, and lifestyle can impact sperm & egg quality overnight
The truth about PCOS, perimenopause, and diminished ovarian reserve
Fertility stigma today vs. mental health stigma a decade ago
What doctors don’t tell you about timelines and proactive testing
The story behind building Bird&Be as “the Honest Company of fertility”
How Sam raised $1.8M in 4 weeks and brought doctors on as investors
Why fertility care should be proactive, not reactive
This important conversation is about empowerment, science, and taking control of your reproductive future rather than fear.
