Customer Reviews
Friends in your ear when you’re feeling your loneliest
I’m so glad I found this podcast, it was helped me through the darkest days of my fertility journey. I hope more episodes will grace our ears again soon! Thank you ladies x
Really recommend
Discovered this podcast after finding out that we would need support with trying to conceive and have found it a real comfort when I’m having a low day. Thanks ladies!
Highly recommend
I started listening to this podcast around a year ago, when I realised on my “Journey” something wasn’t working. I have just finished all of the episodes, as we are about to be referred for IVF. Thank you for being a source of education, empowerment, empathy and humour. I’ve felt a lot less alone, in a process that feels so lonely. I really do recommend this podcast (and your book!) to anyone who’s struggling with fertility, thank you Gabby and Emma 💛
