From Trying to Surviving: Fertility, Birth, and Mental Health

In this episode, we talk openly about the parts of motherhood that are rarely said out loud.

From navigating fertility struggles and living with PCOS, to not enjoying pregnancy, to the quiet shock of postnatal depression. We share what it’s like when something you wanted for so long doesn’t bring the instant happiness you were told to expect.

We talk about guilt, grief, relief, resentment, and love all existing at the same time. About feeling broken when your body doesn’t cooperate. About wondering what’s “wrong” with you when motherhood doesn’t feel magical. And about how surviving can sometimes come before enjoying.

This is not a neat, inspiring story with a bow on it.
 It’s a real conversation for anyone who has ever felt ungrateful, overwhelmed, or alone in their experience of becoming a mum.

If you’ve struggled with fertility, pregnancy, postnatal mental health or the gap between expectation and reality, this episode is for you.

You’re not failing.
You’re not alone.
And it’s okay if happiness came later.
