The Mental Load of Fertility – It’s Not Just in Your Head

Trying to conceive isn’t just physically demanding—it’s mentally relentless. If you’ve ever felt like your brain has 47 tabs open (and one of them is tracking your ovulation while another is crying in a corner), this episode is for you.

In this raw and validating solo episode, Tauni gets real about the mental load of navigating fertility. From juggling appointments, medications, and endless decision-making—to managing emotions, relationships, and the crushing weight of expectations—it’s a lot. And it’s not just in your head.

✨ In this episode:

• A rant-worthy breakdown of what the “mental load” actually looks like
• Gentle coaching reminders to help lighten the emotional weight
• Tools and mindset shifts that don’t involve 18 apps
• A quiet invitation to explore what true support could look like

You are not broken. You are just carrying more than most people realize. And you don’t have to do it all alone.

Facing Miscarriages as a Couple
Real Fertility Talk with Tauni Maya

In this deeply personal episode, I sit down with my husband to open up about one of the most heartbreaking parts of our fertility journey—experiencing miscarriages together. We talk honestly about what it was like to navigate grief, guilt, and emotional disconnect, while also trying to support one another through something neither of us could fully prepare for.

From learning how to communicate in the middle of pain, to the silent ways loss shows up in a relationship, this episode is for anyone who's felt alone, misunderstood, or unsure of how to hold space for their partner while healing themselves.

💬 We discuss:

• The emotional impact of miscarriage on both partners
• What helped us feel connected (and what didn’t)
• How men process grief differently
• Coping strategies for couples navigating fertility loss

Whether you’ve experienced miscarriage personally or love someone who has, this conversation is a reminder: you are not alone—and your relationship can survive this.
