The Her Fertility Podcast, hosted by fertility doula Jess Tims, is dedicated to redefining what support during infertility can look like. From a fertility doula’s perspective, this podcast offers women navigating infertility a new lens: one that treats fertility not just as a medical problem to fix, but as a whole-self experience that requires strategy, safety, and support. Each episode bridges: evidence-based fertility education with nervous system and energetic regulation to give you relational support often missing from the TTC journey. This podcast is for women who feel overwhelmed, disempowered, or stuck between medical protocols and emotional turbulence, and are ready to reclaim agency in their fertility journey. Whether you’re pursuing natural conception, IVF, IUI, navigating after pregnancy loss or simply trying to understand your next right step, the Her Fertility Podcast offers fertility doula support in audio form. Because fertility is not just about the body: it’s about relationship, capacity, and being deeply supported along the way.

    66. Maybe this isn't meant for me. Why do I feel so defeated during infertility? I Dear Jess

    In this Dear Jess episode, I answer your question about feeling defeated during infertility. I break down how the subconscious mind works to protect us from repeated pain, why thoughts like "this isn't meant for me" aren't actually true reflections of what's possible, and I introduces the concept of the "fertility triangle"  the idea that conception involves three parties (you, your partner, and the soul you're calling in) and why releasing some control isn't the same as giving up. In this episode: Why the subconscious mind records painful experiences as "fact" and tries to protect you from repeat pain How to separate a protective thought from your true desire The "fertility triangle" framework and why you're not the only writer of this story Why feeling defeated doesn't mean you're doing something wrong Submit your own question for a future Dear Jess episode: click here Take the quiz to learn where you most need support right now: take the quiz Connect with me on TikTok: @herfertility.support   Jess Tims is a researcher, educator, and creator of Her Fertility Support.

    63. Fertility Nurse Laura Weppler on IVF, Emotional Support & Why Your ‘Fertility Village’ Matters

    Fertility Nurse Laura Weppler on IVF, Emotional Support & Why Your ‘Fertility Village’ Matters. On the Her Fertility Podcast, host Jess interviews Laura Weppler, a nurse with 12 years in fertility care and an alum of the Her Fertility Certification Program, about her dual perspective as a fertility clinic professional and IVF patient. Laura shares her infertility journey including miscarriage, surgeries, a torn cervix, anxiety about carrying a pregnancy, and needing multiple embryo transfers before success. They discuss the critical gap in fertility care: education and emotional support, the importance of human connection (especially as people turn to Google and AI like ChatGPT for “crystal ball” answers), and the value of integrating Western and holistic approaches rather than choosing all-or-nothing. Laura now runs Rooted Fertility Co, supports clients one-on-one, and co-hosts the podcast Fertility Nurses Unfiltered to give patients an insider look at clinics and spark system improvements, while encouraging listeners to “build your village” of support beyond the clinic. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions 00:50 Laura’s Nursing Path 01:10 Her IVF Journey 04:11 Human Connection vs AI 05:29 Why She Got Certified 06:46 Blending East and West 07:44 New Podcast Launch 08:56 Nurses Power Clinics 11:48 Build Your Support Village 12:24 Where to Find Laura 12:59 Final Thanks and Reviews   Connect with Laura Instagram: @rootedfertility_co Website: https://rootedfertilityco.com  Ready for support that meets you where you are?

    62. From Unexplained Infertility to Pregnancy: Kelsey’s IUI Journey + Mind-Body Support

    "Player three is joining our family this summer, and I’m sharing how my road to motherhood included blood draws, X-rays, pills, injections, endless ultrasounds, and negative test after negative test—while still getting painful questions about when we’d have kids. Unexplained infertility felt isolating and uncertain, like chasing an oasis that disappeared every month." - Kelsey In this Her Fertility Podcast episode, I talk with Kelsey, a client I supported through unexplained infertility and multiple IUI cycles while trying to get pregnant. She shares how reaching out—despite skepticism and keeping the journey private—helped her mental health, her relationship dynamic, and her ability to stay hopeful through failed cycles. We worked on regulating her nervous system, addressing fear and doubt, and using grounding and visualization practices, and today she’s pregnant and expecting her first baby later this year. 00:02 Unexplained Infertility Pain  02:01 Starting IUI Treatments 03:14 First Session Breakthrough 06:40 IUI Before Vs After 08:21 What A Fertility Doula Does 09:30 Visualizations And Mind Body  Connect with Jess: www.tiktok.com/@herfertility.support  Find fertility support at www.herfertility.support/free Disclaimer: The Her Fertility podcast is for general educational and informational purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

    61. Integrative Fertility Nutrition with Jennifer Redmond: Food, Stress, and Bio-Individuality

    In this Her Fertility podcast episode, I sit down with Jennifer Redmond, a certified integrative nutrition health coach and hormone health expert with 17+ years in the fertility space, to talk about a 360-degree approach to fertility, infertility, and trying to get pregnant. Jennifer explains how her coaching (including her 12-week Empowered Fertility program) starts with nutrition but quickly expands into lifestyle factors like stress management, relationships, movement, spirituality, and work-life harmony—because fertility doesn’t exist in a silo. We dig into bio-individuality (what works for one body may not work for another), tracking patterns with a “food, mood, and poop” journal, and why fight-or-flight can block rest-and-digest. Jennifer shares practical starting points like a Mediterranean-style eating pattern (modified for you), hydration, reducing sugar and inflammation, and boosting veggies—plus gratitude tools (including her “magic rock”). She also shares her own unexplained infertility journey, miscarriage, being “fired” by a clinic, and how she built a meaningful life and career supporting others. 01:18 Integrative Fertility Coaching 03:44 Nutrition Meets Nervous System 05:09 Personalized Food Tracking 09:52 Bioindividuality and Listening 7:46 Jennifer Fertility Story 19:07 Clinic Ends Treatment 21:06 Choosing Childfree Life 27:19 Nutrition Basics to Start 33:19 Nourishment Over Perfection  Connect with Jennifer on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jennredmondinhc/ Schedule a time with Jennifer: https://jennredmond.com/ Connect with Jess on TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@herfertility.support Find fertility support at www.herfertility.support/free Disclaimer: The Her Fertility podcast is for general educational and informational purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

    60. Why the U.S. Doesn't Support Women Who Want to Get Pregnant - A Fertility Policy Expert Explains

    Did you know that most countries treat fertility support as a basic human right - but the United States government funds only one side of reproductive health? In this episode of the Her Fertility Podcast, Jess sits down with Professor Leonard Lopoo, a leading expert in fertility and family policy and author of the new book Wanting Children. Together they unpack the history behind America's reproductive policy, why IVF and infertility support have been left out of government programs, and what it would look like if we actually built a system designed to help people who want to become parents. You'll learn: → Why U.S. family planning policy has historically focused only on preventing pregnancy — not supporting it → The eugenic roots of American reproductive policy that stretch back to the late 1800s → How countries like France, Quebec, and Scandinavian nations provide multiple IVF cycles through government support → Why 1 in 6 people experience infertility — and what equitable access to care could change → The unifying policy goal that cuts across political divides: helping wanted children thrive → What fertility technologies and genetic testing mean for the future of reproductive rights This episode is for every woman who has felt the financial and emotional weight of paying out of pocket for fertility treatment — and wondered why the system isn't built for her. 📖 Wanting Children by Professor Leonard Lopoo — available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble 🌿 Ready for support that meets you where you are?
