This episode is a full-circle moment for me after Jenny approached me back in 2022 to ask if they could feature a meditation of mine inside their pregnancy test boxes. Of course I said YES.
This is a conversation about science, but more than that, it’s about care. It's about what happens when businesses, clinics, and medical professionals choose to discuss infertility with integrity and honesty.
I’m joined by Jenny Wordsworth, founder of OVUM, who support fertility through innovative products and supplements.
It’s a brand that has never felt like a “brand” to me, but an ally in the background saying: we see you, and we won’t lie to you.
If you’ve ever felt blamed, rushed, or sold to then this episode is for you.
We talk about:
- Why emotional support belongs in fertility care from the very beginning
- Bringing men into the fertility conversation
- The myth of “silver bullet” supplements
- What ethical fertility care actually looks like
- The one question Jenny believes every IVF clinic should ask you
This episode isn’t about doing more but about doing what helps.
It’s about recognising that fertility is biological, psychological, and social, and how we can build a future where fewer people feel dismissed, blamed, or alone.
If you’re in the middle of this, you’re not imagining how hard it is and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself.
