In this episode of Fertile Talks, Dr. Yemi Famuyiwa is joined by fertility specialist and coach Dr. Erica Bove for a powerful conversation about the emotional and physiological toll of infertility—especially for women in medicine. Dr. Bove shares how blending evidence-based fertility care with mindset coaching helps patients navigate fear, hypervigilance, and chronic stress while reconnecting with a sense of safety and hope.

Together, they discuss why physicians face higher infertility rates, how stress physiology affects treatment outcomes, and practical tools for shifting out of overwhelm and into clarity. Dr. Bove also shares her vision behind the Love and Science movement and how coaching can help people feel more supported and empowered on their path to parenthood.
