The Impact of Infertility on Relationships: What people don't tell you
Infertility doesn’t just affect your body and mind, it affects your relationship too.
In this episode, I’m exploring the often unspoken emotional toll that infertility can have on relationships. From intimacy struggles and communication breakdowns to grief, guilt, and the pressure that comes with trying to conceive - this is a raw and honest look at what so many go through behind closed doors.
But it’s not all doom and gloom. I also share how infertility can be a catalyst for greater closeness, deeper conversations, and stronger teamwork when approached with care and support.
In this episode, I cover:
- The emotional distress that infertility can cause - individually and as part of a couple and the impact on our relationships
- How sex, communication, and connection can be affected
- The hidden strain of social isolation and feeling 'out of sync' with friends and family
- What I've seen play out in my own life from our struggles with infertility and from my clients navigating this
- How people can use this time to strengthen their bonds, rather than drift apart
- Practical tips for improving communication, intimacy, and support during this difficult time
Whether you're in the thick of infertility this episode is here to validate what you’re feeling and remind you that you’re not alone in this.
