About this episode

So much of what we focus on when it comes to talking about fertility challenges is centred around women. Everything we have to go through, how much our life changes, and how hard this struggle is. 


But what is it like for the partner who’s going through it too? How hard must it be to watch someone you love go through everything that’s involved with infertility? And how do they cope with this? 


On today’s episode, we hear from one incredible guy who’s making it easier for men to share what they’re going through too.


David Ireland is the Founder of Fertility for Men - You can connect with David via his website, or IG account.


By the time you finish listening, you'll find out: 

  • What David feels are the hardest parts of infertility
  • How he supports men going through this journey
  • The best ways to connect & communicate with your partner



When you finish listening, I'd love to hear your biggest takeaway from today’s episode. Take a screenshot of you listening on your device, share it to your Instagram stories and tag me @jen.elementpilatesyoga
