This week we are so excited to have another community guest on the podcast. Emma, a mum of two, joins us, and today we delve into her story and experiences with secondary infertility, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and her preconception journey.
Emma's story highlighted the emotional rollercoaster of expectations, disappointments, and the difficulty of waiting in the fertility journey. We'll emphasize the importance of support, lifestyle changes, and guided nutrition in overcoming these challenges and achieving the goal of building a family. We'll explore what initially attracted her to Fertility360, our online course, and why she decided to take further action.
A heartfelt shoutout to Emma for being an incredible guest on our podcast. Thank you so much for being so open and vulnerable in sharing your story. It takes a lot of courage, and we really admire that.
