In this episode of the Hey There Sunshine podcast, host Courtney Elliott and her friend Bridie Macri discuss the deeply personal and often painful topics of miscarriage, infertility, and the journey through IVF.
Bridie is very generous in sharing the emotional, psychological and physical toll her experiences put on her health.
They discuss complex topics such as how to show up for your loved ones going through IVF, how it feels to watch friends go on to have more children and the heartache of looking back on your life with hindsight, knowing that trying for a baby earlier may have helped her chances to go on to have more children.
This is a complex topic to discuss. Courtney and Bridie approach it with consideration and understanding to the best of their ability.
