The Awkward Fertility Questions You are not prepared for(And How to Answer Them)

There is never a good time for these questions, but I feel during any celebratory time like Christmas it can feel more overwhelming when you're TTC or navigating IVF. And while everyone else is talking about food, gifts and plans… you’re bracing for the questions - the ones that cut deeper than people realise and you deserve to protect your peace.

In this episode, Emma shares real, practical scripts you can use when family, friends or colleagues make comments about fertility, IVF, age, your body that are not helpful!

You’ll learn how to set boundaries that suit you, how to protect your emotional energy, and move through Christmas and other occasions like Thanksgiving, without feeling triggered, exposed or blindsided.

This is your toolkit for staying grounded, protecting your peace, and getting through the holidays or any family/friend gatherings - on your terms.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Why seemingly innocent Christmas questions can feel so painful
  
  
• How to respond to:
   • “When are you having kids?”
   • “Why don’t you just relax?”
   • “Have you thought about adoption?”
   • “Should you be drinking alcohol if you’re trying?”
   • “Aren’t you getting too old for all this?”

Even if the intention is good and including what to say when the intention is not good!

• Polite, firm and shut-it-down scripts for every situation, plus a one liner that is easy to remember and a great distraction for most situations
  
  
• How to protect your emotional energy during the festive season
  
  
• Ways to navigate triggering conversations without over-explaining
  
  
• Other things to consider to make these situations more about thriving than surviving and on your terms
