IVF BFF

In this episode we dust off our mics to bring you a big old catch up of where we are both at now. Sian has had her baby, and Catherine is currently in the third trimester, and we discuss life after treatment and our ideas for the pod moving forward (it will NOT become a pregnancy or parenting podcast!)
TW: We discuss birth, birth trauma, pregnancy after IVF and pregnancy loss. If these topics are difficult for you please skip this episode and come back another time.

In this episode, Catherine chats to the wonderful Alice Rose, founder of Fertility Life Raft. Alice is a coach and mentor and offers a plethora of support for those going through the struggles of infertility.
We chatted about her own journey to create her family and the incredible mindset work she discovered along the way which gave her better tools to cope with an incredibly stressful time dealing with infertility.
Alice offers various coaching courses, the next one being her brilliant Reclaim six week programme, which is open for enrolment until midnight UK time on 2nd November.
You can find Alice on Instagram at @fertilityliferaft, and her next course can be found at fertilityliferaft.com/reclaim.
We hope this is a helpful and soothing listen!
