EP 117 | What Is a Fertility Coach—and Do You Need One

What exactly is a fertility coach—and how do you know if you need one? In this solo episode, host Eloise Drane explores the supportive, grounded world of fertility coaching. Whether you're navigating IVF, considering egg freezing, or feeling stuck in the quiet in-between spaces of family building, this episode is a gentle guide to the kind of support many people don’t know is available—and deeply need. Eloise breaks down what fertility coaches actually do, how they differ from therapists and doctors, and why this kind of care can be invaluable when you're facing overwhelming decisions, emotional burnout, or pressure to figure everything out alone. This isn’t about doing more—it’s about finding support that helps you feel more like yourself in the middle of it all.
