Day 9, and while work might be winding down for the festive season, this episode is all about how it affects your fertility journey.
We're joined by Natalie Silverman and Becky Kearns, the co-founders of Fertility Matters at Work. They're on a mission to change how employers support people going through fertility treatment, and this conversation is eye-opening. From the "line manager lottery" to what a gold standard fertility policy actually looks like.
Balancing work and treatment is exhausting and confusing. If you have any questions, get in touch. The details are in the show notes.
