From a fertility doula’s perspective, this podcast offers women navigating infertility a new lens: one that treats fertility not just as a medical problem to fix, but as a whole-self experience that requires strategy, safety, and support. Each episode bridges: evidence-based fertility education with nervous system and energetic regulation to give you relational support often missing from the TTC journey. This podcast is for women who feel overwhelmed, disempowered, or stuck between medical protocols and emotional turbulence, and are ready to reclaim agency in their fertility journey. Whether you’re pursuing natural conception, IVF, IUI, navigating after pregnancy loss or simply trying to understand your next right step, the Her Fertility Podcast offers fertility doula support in audio form. Because fertility is not just about the body: it’s about relationship, capacity, and being deeply supported along the way.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-15T18:19:09.584626+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/her-fertility-7145239"},"episode":{"title":"55.
