Show Notes
This episode is broken into two parts. In part one, I’m joined by Megan, a fertility nurse and founder of 412 Fertility, who shares a little of herself with us, her work supporting others while trying to conceive, setting up her own business during that time, and the support she now offers through it. Megan also opens up about her own journey with IVF, and learning along the way that she has Hashimoto’s, borderline PCOS, and, more recently, diagnoses of POTS and endometriosis. This is an honest, gentle conversation about trying to hold both roles, patient and professional, while navigating uncertainty, disappointment, and hope. Part two of this conversation will be available soon, where we talk more about her journey, boundaries, and self-care.
Please note: There are mentions of fertility struggles, pregnancy, and loss so do listen gently and take care of yourself as needed.
