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.

    45. The Call I Wasn’t Prepared For (And What It Taught Me About Fertility Support)

    In this deeply vulnerable episode of the Her Fertility Podcast, Jess Tims shares a story she learned the hard way: one that shaped her entire approach to fertility support and ultimately led to the creation of the Her Fertility Doula Certification. Jess takes you back to her early days as a newly certified fertility doula: passionate, educated, and eager to help, yet profoundly unprepared for what real fertility support actually requires. After two years of navigating unexplained infertility herself, Jess felt called to support others on this path. She did what many aspiring fertility professionals do: researched certifications, completed an online program, and felt ready to begin. Until she wasn’t. In her very first potential client call, a woman bravely asked: “How can you help me with the pain I’m feeling after a stillbirth?” Jess shares exactly what it felt like to freeze in that moment, realizing that despite her certification, she had no tools to support the depth of grief in front of her. This episode explores: The difference between information and true support Why fertility journeys are emotional, relational, and deeply human What most certifications miss when it comes to holding space for loss, fear, and uncertainty The role of fertility doulas alongside (not instead of) therapists and medical providers Why no one should have to navigate infertility alone Jess reflects on how that experience launched her into years of deeper training: studying the nervous system, subconscious mind, energy healing, Eastern medicine, emotional processing, and the relational impact of infertility. You’ll hear why: Being “Google-informed” isn’t enough. Support must adapt day by day, emotion by emotion. Fertility doulas need tools to guide clients out of negative spirals, not keep them stuck there. Community and connection are essential, for both clients and practitioners This episode is especially for: ✨ Anyone considering becoming a fertility doula ✨ Anyone feeling unsupported on their fertility journey ✨ Anyone craving a more compassionate, whole-person approach to fertility care Jess also shares why the Her Fertility Doula Certification is intentionally different: It combines research, biology, emotional support tools, energy work, and real-life application It includes a 90-day live container with Jess, not just pre-recorded information It prioritizes community so future fertility doulas never feel alone in this work 💛 Enrollment for the 2026 cohort opens February 26, 2026.

    43. The Power of Being Supported Through Infertility

    In this deeply moving episode of the Her Fertility Podcast, host Jess Tims, Certified Fertility Doula, shares what fertility support truly looks like: not in theory, but in real life. After years of supporting women and couples through fertility challenges, Jess reflects on why this work is so much more than a job. Being a fertility doula is a calling rooted in presence, trust, and walking alongside people through some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. You’ll hear candid excerpts from conversations with past clients, including: ✨ Heather, who experienced pregnancy loss and IVF, and shares how fertility doula support helped her move through fear, grief, and isolation: even while pregnant ✨ Jane (anonymous name) who experienced two pregnancy losses and was filled with fear when she got pregnant again. Working with a fertility doula helped her calm her emotions and today she is a mom! ✨ Chantal, who lived with PCOS and was told IVF was her only option, and how emotional and mindset support helped her reconnect with her body and ultimately become pregnant These stories reveal what medical care alone often can’t provide: Someone who understands without explanation A steady presence through fear and uncertainty Emotional and energetic support during loss, waiting, and early pregnancy Tools to regulate the nervous system and rebuild trust in the body This episode highlights the missing piece in fertility care, the space where clients feel seen, held, and supported as whole humans, not just patients. If you’ve ever felt called to support women on their fertility journey - whether because of your own experience with infertility, loss, or simply a deep knowing that this work matters - this episode is for you. 💛 Are you interested in becoming a fertility doula?
