Welcome to extra special guest Dr. Emily Voelkel who shares her experiences and expertise as a therapist focusing on fertility and reproductive psychology. Today we dig deep and explore our human need to offer advice while also fearing vulnerability and saying the wrong thing. Emily offers suggestions on how to support friends, family, and loved ones struggling with fertility and post-partum depression and some general advice for making conversations about mental health a little easier. Let's embrace the sticky and the mess. Let's just ask for what we need and share our experiences.
