Welcome to The Heart of Fertility.... a gentle, honest and emotionally supportive space for women carrying the invisible weight of fertility struggles, overwhelm and trying to hold everything together.


Hosted by fertility doula, former midwife and founder of The Fertility Sanctuary, Sam Reynolds, this podcast explores the emotional reality behind fertility journeys and the deep connection between mind, body and emotional wellbeing.

Each week you’ll find two short, heartfelt episodes designed to help you feel less alone, more grounded and emotionally supported through the highs, lows and uncertainty of trying to conceive and beyond.


Together, we’ll explore:


  • the emotional impact of fertility struggles
  • nervous system support and emotional wellbeing
  • mindset, mindfulness and meditation
  • coping with overwhelm, anxiety and grief
  • relationships, identity and resilience
  • holistic and compassionate approaches to support
  • honest conversations around healing, hope and being human


Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally, exploring IVF or fertility treatment, coping with loss, or simply feeling emotionally exhausted by the pressure of it all, this is a space where you don’t have to pretend you’re okay.


Because fertility affects so much more than just the body.

  • Safe enough to finally exhale
    2026/07/28

    I’d love to hear from you

    Episode 12

    Safe Enough To Finally Exhale

    Over the past 12 episodes, we've explored the emotional side of fertility struggles that often goes unspoken.

    The loneliness.

    The survival mode.

    The grief that has no name.

    The questions that change everything.

    And the quiet ways we can begin to find ourselves again.

    In this final episode of Series 1, I'm talking about something I've been building towards throughout the entire series:

    The possibility of feeling safe enough to exhale.

    Not because everything is fixed.

    Not because the journey is over.

    But because there is another way to move through uncertainty, grief and waiting without losing yourself in the process.

    If you've ever felt like you've been holding your breath through this journey, this episode is for you.

  • Healing Through Fire and Water:
    2026/07/24

    I’d love to hear from you

    Episode

    Walking Through The Fire

    "Healing is walking through the fire and then coming back carrying water for the women still trapped inside."

    When I first heard that quote, it stopped me in my tracks.

    In this episode, I'm exploring what it means to be changed by experiences we would never have chosen.

    Not because infertility, loss or heartbreak are gifts.

    Not because everything happens for a reason.

    But because sometimes the experiences that ask the most of us also shape what matters most to us.

    I share reflections from my own journey through infertility, miscarriage, IVF, pregnancy loss and the year I lost my voice, and how those experiences ultimately became the foundation for the work I do today.

    If you're in the middle of the fire right now, this episode is a gentle reminder that you don't need to have everything figured out.

    You don't need to find meaning in it.

    You don't need to know how your story ends.

    For now, you're allowed to simply take the next step.

    Episode

    Staying Silent: The Year I Lost My Voice

    For years, I believed I just needed to find the right answer.

    The right treatment.
    The right appointment.
    The right piece of information.

    I was so focused on fixing what felt broken that I never stopped to ask how I was really doing.

    Then a virus changed everything.

    After years of struggling with infertility, I suddenly lost my voice. A virus partially paralysed my vocal cords, leaving me unable to speak properly for almost a year.

    At the time, it felt like yet another thing going wrong.

    But looking back, I can see that it became one of the biggest turning points of my life.

    In this episode, I share the story of losing my voice, what that experience taught me about slowing down, self-compassion and the mind-body connection, and how it ultimately led me to create The Fertility Sanctuary.

    This isn't a story about finding a silver lining.

    It's a story about what happened when life forced me to stop long enough to finally listen.

    If you've been pushing through, carrying everything alone, or feeling disconnected from yourself, I hope this episode offers you permission to pause and ask a different question.

    Sometimes the answers we're searching for aren't found by pushing harder.

    Sometimes they're found in the pause.
