In this episode, I’m joined by the wonderful Meg Faith, the voice behind For the Barreness, a space she’s built with such honesty, heart, and humour to support those navigating infertility and pregnancy loss.
Meg has experienced multiple losses over the past five years. In our conversation, we talk openly about the emotional and physical toll of IVF, how it impacts relationships and our bodies, the loneliness that often comes with it all, and the strength it takes to keep going, especially when there are no guarantees.
We also talk about boundaries, online community, and why it’s so important to make space for every kind of story, not just the ones that end with a baby.
I hope if you’re listening and finding things hard right now, this episode helps you feel a little less alone.
Please take care as you listen. We do talk about miscarriage, fertility treatment, and childlessness not by choice.
💛 As always, if you’ve been impacted by any kind of pregnancy loss, please know you are not alone.
Support links and resources are included in the show notes.
