Today, Jesse and Doug are thrilled to be joined by the incredible Dr. Janet Jaffe to dive into how infertility can disrupt our reproductive stories.

We all weave narratives about our lives—stories about our families, our pasts, and our dreams for the future. At the heart of these narratives lies our reproductive story, filled with hopes and dreams of becoming parents.

In this episode, we explore the emotional impact of losing or altering this story. Dr. Jaffe helps us understand the pain that comes with these changes and offers a compassionate framework for rewriting our stories. Together, we’ll discover how to find growth and new beginnings, even when our paths take unexpected turns.

Let’s get started! 🌟

Infertility and Politics both bring up lot's of feelings, let's talk about it.

In this episode Jesse and Doug take a NEUTRAL stance on politics but a hard stance on your (you, the listener) mental health and emotional needs during infertility. We talk about the feelings around infertility and IVF being included in political conversations. We talk about a possible way to approach this election season in light of infertility and our mental health.

This is not a political podcast and we know that people have very strong opinions on things like infertility, IVF, and politics. At Uniquely Knitted and on The Infertility Feelings Podcast we take a neutral stance on most things and focus heavily on the emotions of the individual struggling with infertility.
