In Season 2, Episode 3 of Suddenly Infertile, I sit down with Brittney Jackson, host of the Fertility Ain’t Fair Podcast, for a deeply honest conversation about endometriosis, IVF, pregnancy loss, grief, and the complicated emotions that can exist alongside hope.

Brittney opens up about navigating endometriosis and how it shaped her fertility journey, eventually leading her down the path of IVF. We talk candidly about the physical and emotional realities of treatment, the expectations we place on ourselves, and what it means to keep moving forward when your journey to motherhood looks nothing like you imagined.

But infertility grief doesn’t always stay neatly in the past.

☕ During “Sis, What’s the Tea?”, Brittney shares a recent experience at a doctor’s appointment that unexpectedly brought the grief of her previous miscarriage back to the surface. It opens an important conversation about how grief can resurface in places and moments we never expect and how healing doesn’t necessarily mean that something will never hurt again.

We also talk about an important truth that deserves to be repeated:

Your worth is not tied to your fertility.

You are more than your diagnosis.
More than your reproductive history.
More than an IVF outcome.
More than what your body can or cannot do.

This episode is for the woman navigating endometriosis. The woman preparing for or recovering from IVF. The woman grieving a pregnancy she desperately wanted. And the woman who thought she was “okay” until something unexpectedly reminded her of everything she lost.

Brittney’s story reminds us that grief and hope can exist in the same space and neither makes you weak.

🤎 Because here at Suddenly Infertile… You Are Not Alone.

Produced by Shadrae King

At just 14 years old, Tatiana experienced a medical procedure that would change the way she thought about motherhood long before she was ready to become a mom. She learned early that when the time came, getting pregnant might not be easy.

But knowing infertility might be part of your future and actually living through it are two very different things.

In this powerful episode of Suddenly Infertile, Tatiana takes us through the unexpected twists of her journey, from navigating relationships and divorce to finding love again with a partner who embraced her story without judgment. She opens up about what it was like telling the man who would become her husband that conceiving a child could be difficult and that they might need fertility treatment to build their family.

Then came the reality of IVF and figuring out how to afford it.

Tatiana shares the extraordinary lengths she went to for the chance to become a mother, including working multiple jobs to help pay for treatment and seeking donated IVF medications when the financial burden became overwhelming.

Her story is about so much more than IVF. It’s about starting over. Sacrifice. Partnership. Community. Advocating for the family you dream of and continuing to move forward when the path to motherhood looks nothing like you imagined.

And eventually, that winding road led Tatiana to twins.

In this episode, we talk about receiving life-changing fertility information as a teenager, dating while knowing conception could be difficult, divorce and remarriage, finding a supportive partner, the financial realities of IVF, asking for help, and what it took emotionally and financially to keep pursuing motherhood.

Whether you’re wondering how you’ll afford your next treatment, navigating infertility while dating or married, or simply trying to hold onto hope when the journey feels impossible, Tatiana’s story is one you don’t want to miss!

Season 2 of Suddenly Infertile begins with a powerful and heartfelt conversation featuring Shatiera Amankrah, founder of Seeds of Hope CC, as she courageously shares her journey through infertility and IVF.

Like many women, Shatiera believed her path to motherhood would be simple. Instead, she found herself navigating unexpected challenges, difficult decisions, and the emotional highs and lows that come with infertility. In this episode, she opens up about how IVF became part of her story, the lessons she learned along the way, and the hope that carried her through.

We also continue the segment, “Sis, What’s the Tea?” where we discuss reality television stars who have publicly shared their infertility journeys and why these conversations matter. Representation has the power to educate, validate, and remind women that infertility doesn’t discriminate and no one should have to walk this journey in silence.

Whether you’re navigating infertility yourself, supporting someone you love, or simply wanting to better understand this experience, this episode is filled with honesty, encouragement, and hope.

✨ In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Shatiera’s expectations of the journey to motherhood versus reality
• Her infertility and IVF journey
• The emotional impact of waiting and uncertainty
• Finding strength, faith, and hope during the process
• Why visibility and representation matter
• “Sis, What’s the Tea?” our discussion on reality TV, infertility, and the conversations we need to be having
