The Wilde Way: Fertility Unfiltered
Sick of bandaid fixes, confusing fertility advice, and a body that feels overdue for a software update?
The Wilde Way is the no-BS guide for women who are done guessing and ready to heal their fertility, balance their hormones, and finally understand what their body needs — without burnout or overwhelm.
Hosted by Abi Wilde — Integrative Fertility & Hormone Coach and mama to two miracle babies — this podcast is all about radically transforming fertility, whole-body healing, and getting to the root of what’s really holding you back.
Whether you’re deep in TTC burnout, navigating endo or PCOS, or quietly freaking out that your eggs are expiring faster than your oat milk… this show is for you.
Each week, Abi shares science-backed strategies, nervous system support, and holistic tools — so you can stop spiralling and start healing from a place of trust.

30. The Real IVF Experience: Infertility, Miscarriage & the Emotional Rollercoaster of Trying to Conceive
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when two funny, brutally honest humans decide to document their IVF journey in real time?
You get this episode.
Today I’m joined by Lauren and David Finn, the duo behind The Baby Making Business, and this conversation is equal parts hilarious, heartbreaking, raw and refreshing. We chat about what infertility and IVF actually look like behind the glossy clinic brochures and the weirdly chirpy “stay positive” energy floating around this space.
We get into the real stuff here. The emotional chaos. The pressure on relationships. The grief. The waiting. The money. The miscarriages. The uncertainty. And the bizarre realities of sperm sample rooms, sad hospital teddy bears, and why dark humour can sometimes be the only thing keeping you from losing it.
Lauren and David share their fertility journey with so much openness, vulnerability and wit. Conversations like this remind you that you are not the only one crying in a clinic car park, rage-Googling uterine lining thickness at midnight, or trying to hold hope and heartbreak in the same body.
In this episode we chat about:
• how The Baby Making Business came to life
• what it’s really like navigating infertility and IVF as a couple
• the emotional, physical and financial toll of treatment
• why humour has become one of their biggest coping tools
• how IVF impacts relationships, work, friendships and everyday life
• the importance of advocating for yourself inside the fertility system
• what actually feels supportive from friends and family (and what really doesn’t)
• the emotional whiplash of hope, grief, waiting and uncertainty
• what they wish they’d known earlier in their journey
This episode is for anyone who is in it right now. Trying. Waiting. Injecting. Hoping. Grieving. Advocating. Holding it together by a thread and a dark joke.
Lauren and David bring so much heart to this conversation, along with the kind of humour that makes the unbearable feel a little more survivable.
Think infertility chat with a side of emotional support sarcasm.
