The Heart of Fertility

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.

Hi, I'm Sam.

I'm a former midwife, fertility mindset coach, and founder of The Fertility Sanctuary and The Fertility Nurture Hub CIC, but more importantly, I'm someone who understands what it feels like when fertility struggles begin to take over your life.

After six years of infertility, miscarriage, IVF, pregnancy loss, and the emotional highs and lows that come with it all, I discovered that what many of us need isn't just information or another solution. We need somewhere safe to feel understood.

That's why I created The Heart of Fertility.

A place for honest conversations about the emotional side of fertility struggles, the part that often goes unseen. Through this podcast, I hope to help you feel less alone, reconnect with yourself, and remember that whilst fertility may be part of your story, it isn't all of who you are.

I'm so glad you're here.
