Episode 5. Art Journaling Through IVF: Stigma, Support & Befriending Your Demons

In this episode we continue our journaling series. I talk to Baroque Anarchist — an artist who used art journaling throughout her IVF treatment. We speak about the stigma around infertility, about building your own support system, and what IVF can feel like when you’re living it from the inside: an explorer’s journey where you’re experimenting on your own body — sometimes feeling like you’re standing on a mountain with a sword, facing a myriad of tiny creatures, each one carrying its own risk.This is a conversation about visual journaling, art as a part of an emotional support system during fertility treatment, and creativity as a way to stay close to yourself in difficult times - a mental health anchor - when words don’t always work, but images still can.Today’s guestBaroque AnarchistInstagramHostSasha Mazur-KInstagramLinkedIn
