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

Season one has been an incredible journey, and I couldn't think of a better way to close this chapter than by sharing where we truly are.

In this heartfelt season finale, I'm opening up about the latest updates in our IVF journey, the unexpected setbacks we've faced, and why our timeline has changed. While this wasn't the news we hoped to share, it's a reminder that infertility rarely follows the plans we make.

I'm also reflecting on everything Season 1 has meant to me, the conversations we've had, the community we've built, and the hope we've shared together. Although this season is ending, our story is far from over.

If you're navigating infertility, IVF, premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), or simply waiting for your miracle, I hope this episode reminds you that delays don't erase purpose, and setbacks don't eliminate hope.

Because here at Suddenly Infertile... you are never alone!

✨ Season 2 is coming soon! Listen until the end for the release date! Season 2 will feature inspiring guests, infertility experts, advocates, and women sharing their real journeys.

Mother’s Day can feel beautiful, heartbreaking, complicated… or all three at once.

In this deeply personal episode of the Suddenly Infertile Podcast, I open up about what it feels like to navigate infertility on a day that can magnify grief, longing, and disappointment. I share honestly about wanting to hide, struggling to stay present, and learning how to hold both joy for others and sadness for myself at the same time.

Through Hannah’s journey with infertility, we talk about faith, waiting, surrender, and what happens when your relationship with God shifts from transactional faith to real trust.

If you’ve ever asked:

• “Why me?”
• “Why hasn’t God answered my prayer?”
• “How do I keep believing while I’m hurting?”

…this episode is for you.

☕ In this week’s Sis, What’s the Tea? segment, we also discuss the lawsuit against the Pasadena Black Infant Health Program and the larger conversation surrounding Black maternal health, healthcare disparities, and why programs designed for underserved communities exist.

In this episode, we’re talking about something that can bring real hope in the middle of the infertility journey: infertility grants!

If you’ve ever wondered how people are affording fertility treatments or questioned whether there are real resources out there to help, this conversation is for you. We break down what infertility grants are, where to find them, what the application process looks like, and practical tips to help you feel more confident when applying. Because navigating infertility is already heavy...access to support shouldn’t feel out of reach.

And of course, we’re getting into our “Sis, What’s the Tea?” segment where we talk about the latest updates with Costco and how they have entered the fertility chat. It’s honest, it’s relatable, and it’s definitely giving “group chat with your sis” energy.

Whether you’re currently trying to conceive, exploring your options, or just looking for encouragement and real conversation, this episode is here to remind you: there is support, there are resources, and you are not alone.

In this special episode of Suddenly Infertile, I’m joined by a very important guest — my husband. Together we open up about our journey through infertility from both perspectives. We talk about how we met, when I shared my diagnosis of Primary Ovarian Insufficiency, and what it has looked like navigating infertility as a married couple.

During the conversation, my husband shares his honest feelings about what infertility has been like for him as a partner, the emotional challenges men often face but rarely talk about, and how couples can support their wives and each other through such a difficult and uncertain season.

We also share some exciting and hopeful news that we were recently awarded a fertility grant and are currently in the process of preparing for the next step in our journey. While we are grateful to share parts of this experience, we also ask for understanding as some details of this process may remain private as we move forward.

This episode is a reminder that infertility is not just an individual experience, but something that impacts couples and families. Our hope is that this conversation encourages honesty, compassion, and support for anyone walking a similar path.

In Part 4 of this deeply personal series, I open my heart to the parts of infertility we don’t talk about enough, the quiet grief, the unanswered prayers, and the slow, sacred process of letting go of the life I thought I would have.

This episode is about mourning what was lost while learning how to breathe again. It’s about healing in layers, surrendering control, and trusting God even when the future looks nothing like the plan you held onto for so long. If you’ve ever felt torn between faith and heartbreak, strength and exhaustion, hope and grief then this episode is for you.

You are not weak for grieving. You are not broken for hurting. And you are not alone.

🎙️ Suddenly Infertile is a safe space for women struggling silently, navigating infertility with faith, honesty, and community.
