The Truth About The Emotional Side of Fertility Treatment hosted by Damesha Craig and Alli Johnstone of Sunday Soulday

In this special episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I’m sharing a conversation that originally aired on “Sunday Soulday,” hosted by Damesha Craig and Alli Johnstone. In it, you’ll hear my story — the journey that led me from my early days as a medical assistant for my father (who was an OBGYN), to becoming the “Egg Whisperer.” I talk about my family immigrating to the United States, facing depression, and finding my passion in helping others navigate fertility challenges and mental health issues in my role as a fertility specialist.

I open up about the emotional highs and lows I’ve experienced along the way and how these moments underline the importance of both medical and emotional support in fertility treatments.

We dive into some key takeaways, and I offer practical advice on fertility testing, lifestyle habits, and more.

Here are some of the topics we cover:

• My journey to becoming a fertility specialist
• The emotional ups and downs in fertility treatments
• Why medical and emotional support are critical, especially during miscarriages
• My practical tips on fertility testing and healthy lifestyle practices (Tushi and Balls, of course!)
• How mental health plays a huge role in fertility
• Book recommendations for expecting mothers
