The #1 Reason Relationships Don't Surviv...

Jennifer Edmonds
About this episode

If you have a partner on your journey of TTC, you can pretty much guarantee this will be the biggest test your relationship is going to face. 


Aside from the grief of infertility + loss, you’re navigating how much your plans for the future have changed, the financial burdens, how much intimacy becomes a chore & the constant worry that your partner is holding up his end of the bargain when you’re doing everything you can to support your fertility.


In today’s episode I am sitting down with fertility therapist Jenna Cavadas who will explain the best ways to support your relationship at this time in your life – so that everything in the meantime can feel easier, and you come out of this journey so much stronger.


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

  • The main reason Jenna sees relationships breaking down when struggling through infertility
  • How you can ensure your partner is on board without feeling like you're constantly nagging them
  • The best ways to support your relationship when TTC


You can download Jenna's free guide and learn more via her website and IG.
