  • Invaluable knowledge and conversations

    I loved the conversation with Shania. Especially the discussion about how a person’s degrading fertility over time influences their decision to accept a life partner who may not be right for them. As a single person in my 30s, I know that fertility is on a lot of people’s minds. Proactive fertility preservation can maybe reduce anxiety amongst people searching for their life partner. But first, they would need to know where to start. This podcast!

EP89: Holding space for loss: Navigating miscarriage with Dara Roth Edney, Social Worker & Psychotherapist

EP89: Holding space for loss: Navigating miscarriage with Dara Roth Edney, Social Worker & Psychotherapist
Q: What can partners do to support someone experiencing a pregnancy loss, while also taking care of themselves?
The guest advises recognizing each person's needs, encouraging open communication, and suggesting concrete forms of support (like groceries or accompanying to appointments) while the partner also attends to their own emotional needs, including seeking therapy if helpful.

EP85: You asked, we answered: Fertility Q&A - 2 years of My Fertility Podcast!
Q: What are your thoughts on AI in fertility care?
AI can support lab processes and initial patient triage but should not replace human judgment; there is concern about turning AI into an unnecessary, costly add-on without proven improvements in outcomes, and emphasis on data quality and demonstrable evidence to justify adoption.
