What the F - From Infertility Exhaustion to Peace
Welcome to 'What the F - From Infertility Exhaustion to Peace' podcast.
Hi. I'm Tina. After my own four year IVF journey and having a baby at 42 years old (through IVF) I knew that my purpose in this world was to support other women on this journey too. I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed, lost in your thoughts, and alone during IVF. That’s why I’m here—to help you not feel alone.
During my own IVF journey, I discovered the power of simple yet effective tools to cope with the emotional highs and lows, rewire my thoughts, and heal from the trauma. What I needed then, and what I’m offering you now, is a safe space to explore your fears, anxieties, struggles and beliefs that may be holding you back with someone who truly understands.
At the same time I was going through my IVF treatment, I trained to become a Master NLP Practitioner and Life Coach, with over 400+ hours of practical training and 1:1 coaching with so many women. Now, I’m using everything I’ve learned to guide you through this podcast. This is a space where honest, real conversations will inspire you to move forward, especially when you feel stuck.
I really want to help you find peace, balance and self-kindness on your fertility journey. Wherever you are in your process, this podcast is about finding hope, rebuilding belief in yourself, and showing kindness to your mind and body.
I hope my words offer comfort, insight, and the support you need to transform your inner voice and find calmness. Sending love and hugs to you all.

What the F - From Infertility Exhaustion to Peace
Ep. 34 - Losing friends or drifting apart? How infertility really impacts friendships
Losing friends or growing apart? How infertility impacts your friendships
Hey beautiful souls, welcome back to What the F – From Infertility Exhaustion to Peace. I’m Tina, and today I'm talking about the real strain that infertility brings to your friendships.
Going through infertility can make you feel isolated, not just because of your journey, but because your friends might not fully understand what you’re experiencing. You might notice friends drifting away, saying the wrong thing, or not knowing how to support you. And that hurts sometimes deeply.
In this episode, we’ll explore:
· Why friendships can change during infertility
· How to manage feelings of resentment, loneliness, or guilt
· Practical ways to communicate your needs and set boundaries
· How to protect your energy without feeling like a “bad friend”
· Journal prompts, affirmations, and a small exercise to help you navigate these relationships with self-kindness and clarity
Whether friends drift away or you simply feel misunderstood, this episode will help you process your emotions, reclaim your emotional space, and nurture the connections that truly support you.
Journal prompts from this episode:
- What emotions come up when I think about my friendships right now?
- Which friends make me feel supported and safe?
- How can I communicate my needs clearly without guilt?
Affirmation:
“I am worthy of friendships that support and nurture me.”
