If Only I Knew: Honest Conversations on Fertility, Health, and Healing with Jules & Louise

02/05/25 • 33 min

In this heartfelt episode of Friends with Fertility, we sit down with Jules and Louise—two compassionate experts whose personal and professional journeys have reshaped the landscape of fertility care.

Jules began her career as an oncology nurse in Sydney, inspired by her sister’s fertility treatment following a battle with breast cancer. Over the past 15 years, she’s become a trusted voice in fertility nursing, adapting to technological advancements while offering unwavering support to patients. Her own fertility journey, culminating in the birth of her son Archie, gives her a profound understanding of the emotional and physical challenges many face.

Louise brings over three decades of healthcare experience as a nurse, psychologist, and author. Specializing in fertility care after stints in medicine, surgery, and A&E, she pursued a doctorate in counselling psychology to delve into the emotional complexities of unexplained infertility. Having experienced early menopause and later built her family through fertility treatment, Louise combines professional expertise with personal insight to offer a uniquely holistic approach to care.

Their collaboration began at a leading fertility clinic, where they united their expertise and empathy to support patients. Today, through their resource If Only I Knew, they empower individuals to navigate fertility treatment with confidence, clarity, and radical honesty about women’s health.

Join us as Jules and Louise share their candid stories, expert insights, and the transformative power of informed decision-making in the world of fertility. Whether you’re undergoing treatment or seeking a deeper understanding of women’s health, this episode is a must-listen for anyone on a journey toward healing and hope.
