About this podcast
Infertility affects so much more than your body. Your fertility support should, too.
Welcome to Her Fertility Podcast, the show for women navigating infertility who want thoughtful conversations about the whole fertility experience - not just another list of things to do to get pregnant.
I'm Jess Tims, fertility support specialist, fertility doula and founder of Her Fertility Support. After experiencing unexplained infertility myself, I became fascinated by the parts of this journey that don't always fit neatly inside a doctor's appointment: the mental spirals, the emotional weight, the relationships, the decisions, the loss of self, the questions about your body, and sometimes, the deeper questions about meaning, intuition and hope.
Here, we talk about all of it.
You'll hear Dear Jess episodes, where I answer real questions from women navigating infertility, alongside honest conversations with fertility doctors, researchers, therapists, founders, practitioners and other voices changing the way we understand and experience fertility.
We'll explore the physical, mental, emotional and energetic sides of fertility - without pretending there is one perfect protocol, one missing answer, or one thing you need to fix about yourself.
Because you are more than a patient. More than a diagnosis. And much more than a body trying to get pregnant.
This is fertility support for the whole woman.
New episodes weekly.
