What happens to a marriage when becoming parents stops feeling simple?
IVF can look like a clean plan on paper: appointments, medication, an embryo transfer, a baby at the end. Then real life shows up with unknowns, failed cycles, and the kind of grief that doesn’t fit neatly into a timeline.
In this deeply honest episode of Therapist Unplugged, Laurie Poole sits down with a couple willing to share the emotional reality of infertility, miscarriage, and IVF. Catherine and Tim open up about the grief, pressure, hope, isolation, and unexpected intimacy that shaped their five-year fertility journey.
Together, they talk about the emotional toll IVF takes on a relationship, the loneliness couples often experience in silence, and the way infertility can quietly consume everyday life.
If you or someone you love has experienced infertility, IVF, miscarriage, or the emotional weight of trying to grow a family, this conversation offers honesty, comfort, and a reminder that you are not alone.
🎙️ Therapist Unplugged is produced by The Montfort Group, a boutique therapy practice based in Plano, Texas, helping individuals, couples, and families build emotionally intelligent, connected lives.
