In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Sarah O’Connell, a family physician who is also supporting fertility patients with their care. Sarah shares her deeply personal journey through infertility and IVF. From navigating emotional highs and lows to finding strength in vulnerability, Sarah offers a candid and inspiring perspective on the challenges of infertility. She opens up about the importance of communication in relationships, the value of a strong support system, and how her experiences have profoundly shaped her outlook on life and parenting. Through this conversation, we explore key lessons such as the importance of letting go of control, finding hope in small victories, and the resilience built through adversity.
