The Home of Fertility with Liz Walton & Helen Zee
The Home of Fertility – Podcast Description
Where science meets soul, and your fertility story matters.
Welcome to The Home of Fertility, hosted by Liz Walton and Helen Zee — two mothers, practitioners, and passionate advocates for reimagining how we talk about fertility, healing, and creating family.
What began as a connection at the Australian Fertility Summit has evolved into a shared mission:
To reimagine how we speak about fertility, how we support one another, and how we hold the full spectrum of what it means to create a family.
Each episode offers heartfelt insight, inclusive wisdom, and practical tools across the emotional, physical, spiritual, and medical dimensions of fertility. Whether you're on a fertility journey, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about what family can mean today — you're welcome here. This is a place where:
- Vulnerability meets knowledge
- Medical meets integrative
- Personal stories become medicine
- No one walks the path alone
Whether you're navigating your own journey or walking beside someone you love, we invite you in.
