    Episode 28 - Jemma's Story Nourish My Fertility

    Today on Finding Space I’m joined by Jemma, a CORU registered Dietitian who now works in fertility and IVF nutrition through her own practice, Nourish My Fertility, supporting people navigating fertility treatment. In this episode, Jemma shares her own fertility story from trying to conceive, moving into IVF and the emotional and physical rollercoaster that came with it. We talk about the challenges she faced along the way, her donor journey, becoming a mum to Jack, and the impact of comments like “just Jack” and how words like that can land much harder than people realise. We also speak about secondary infertility and the reality that many people long for a second child but aren’t able to grow their family the way they had hoped. This is an honest conversation about navigating hope, loss, motherhood, and finding your way through it all. A small note for listeners, Jack makes a surprise appearance towards the end of the episode As always, please take care as you listen. This episode includes discussion around infertility, pregnancy loss and IVF. Support resources are linked in the show notes.

    Episode 27 - Brenda Casey Clinical Midwife Specialist Bereavement NMH

    In today's episode I’m joined by Brenda Casey, a registered nurse and midwife with over 27 years’ experience, who since 2015 has been working as the Clinical Midwife Specialist in Bereavement & Loss at the National Maternity Hospital in Dublin. Brenda’s work focuses on supporting families through pregnancy loss, perinatal bereavement, and the often-hidden grief that follows. She is also deeply passionate about education and improving how we care for families after loss. Through her research into student midwife education, Brenda developed a hands-on bereavement care workshop, which has now been integrated into midwifery programmes in UCD. In this conversation, we talk about disenfranchised grief, the many ways people experience and express grief, ways families can remember their babies, and how we can better support people after pregnancy loss. We also discuss the gaps that still exist in support, education, and awareness and the changes Brenda believes are needed. As always, please take care as you listen. This episode includes discussion of infertility and loss. Support resources are linked in the show notes.

    Episode 26 - Mairead's Story

    In today’s episode, I’m joined by Mairéad Vaughan, celebrant, podcast host, and someone who has lived through a long and deeply personal journey with infertility and loss. After years of fertility treatment, heartbreak, and feeling like an outsider in a world that so often equated womanhood with motherhood, Mairéad reached a point where she knew she had to let go. In this conversation, we talk about infertility in Ireland 20 years ago, the silence and stigma that surrounded it, and in many ways still does. Mairéad shares what it meant to stop trying, the grief that comes with that, and the strength it takes to begin again, even when it looks different from what you once imagined. Mairéad’s story is one of resilience and finding peace on a path she never expected to walk. As always, please take care as you listen. This episode includes discussion of infertility and loss.

    Episode 24 - Tara & Aislinn Longford Women’s Link

    In today's episode, I’m joined by Tara Farrell and Aislinn Gannon, two women who bring both lived experience and deep professional insight to this conversation. Tara is the CEO of Longford Women’s Link, an organisation doing powerful work supporting women across so many areas of life. With over 20 years’ experience across community, education, and human rights, Tara brings a strong understanding of the systems meant to support women and where they often fall short.

She shares her own personal journey through pregnancy loss and IVF; navigating the public system, travelling abroad for treatment, and ultimately finding a life she loves today. This episode is about stories, support, and the gaps so many women fall through, particularly when it comes to pregnancy loss, fertility challenges, and access to care. Please take care as you listen, as this episode includes discussion of pregnancy loss and medical trauma.

    Episode 23 - Vicki's Story

    In Episode 23, I’m joined by Vicki Spillane, COO of Crohn’s & Colitis Ireland, an IBD and stoma warrior, and someone who has faced more than her share of heartbreak and resilience. Vicki was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at just 13, and later underwent stoma surgery at 25, when she was told her fertility might be affected. Over the years, she experienced multiple miscarriages, and then the painful reality of being told that pregnancy would be too high-risk for her health. She shares what it’s been like to live with this illness from such a young age, the losses she’s carried, and how she’s now turned so much of what she’s lived through into support for others. This episode is about grief, strength, acceptance, and the different ways care and motherhood can show up in a life. Please take care as you listen, as this episode includes discussion of pregnancy loss and medical trauma. If you would like to learn more about Crohn’s & Colitis Ireland, access support, or find upcoming community events, you can connect with them here: Website:https://crohnscolitis.ie/ Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/crohnscolitisireland/ Linktree (all supports & links):https://linktr.ee/crohnscolitisireland Upcoming Events & Member Supports:https://crohnscolitis.ie/members/events/ If you are living with IBD or supporting someone who is, I hope these links are helpful.

    This episode is broken into two parts. In part one, I’m joined by Megan, a fertility nurse and founder of 412 Fertility, who shares a little of herself with us, her work supporting others while trying to conceive, setting up her own business during that time, and the support she now offers through it. Megan also opens up about her own journey with IVF, and learning along the way that she has Hashimoto’s, borderline PCOS, and, more recently, diagnoses of POTS and endometriosis. This is an honest, gentle conversation about trying to hold both roles, patient and professional, while navigating uncertainty, disappointment, and hope. Part two of this conversation will be available soon, where we talk more about her journey, boundaries, and self-care.
