Casting The Net - Reeling In Holistic Health

Infertility with Insight Restoring Hope, Health, and Harmony in Fertility Struggles

Martha Rice Season 2 Episode 54

 In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Dr. Brenna Squires, a clinical psychologist and couples fertility coach, whose own personal journey through infertility led her to become a guiding light for others facing the same battle. She shared how her pain became her purpose, offering the very support and resources she once longed for.

We unpack the emotional toll of infertility, from grief and depression to anxiety and self-doubt and how it can quietly affect your mental health, your relationship, and your sense of identity. One of the most eye-opening moments came when we discussed how men and women experience infertility differently, and the importance of showing up for each other with empathy and teamwork.

Dr. Squires also challenged the narrative many carry: that our bodies are “failing” us. Instead, she reframes infertility as a signal—not a sentence—urging a holistic approach that prioritizes both physical healing and emotional support.

She walked us through her client process, emphasizing how every couple's story is unique and deserves personalized care, counseling, and connection. From her podcast to her supportive community, Dr. Squires is building bridges for those walking through what can feel like an isolating season.

If you're in the thick of this journey or love someone who is, this episode will remind you you're not alone and healing is possible.
