Disclaimer: We will discuss depression-related topics in this episode. If you or someone you know is struggling with these issues, please seek professional help immediately. You're not alone, and support is available via our ongoing fertility project. We discuss the mental, physical, and emotional stress concerning miscarriages, infertility treatments, and negative social and environmental factors that contribute to the mental stress that accompanies going through infertility.
In our ongoing fertility series, we're thrilled to have a special guest—my ever-supportive husband, Taiwo Adedipe, affectionately known as TDawg, TMoney, and Brown Eyes. He's a family physician and public health practitioner. His passion for his wife and work and familiarity with our show make him no stranger to our audience. Switching gears a bit, I invited my husband to join me today to shed light on his perspective as a pillar of support during our infertility journey.
This episode delves into the emotional complexities that supportive partners face while navigating roles as lovers, supporters, and more, all while remaining sensitive to the challenges of infertility. We discuss the emotional strains and connection hurdles that infertility can introduce. As we delve deeper, we explore the positive impacts our struggles have had on our relationship and our lives, particularly in strengthening our bond as a couple. We also touch on our experience adopting Arii and the challenges related to differences in skin color. TDawg candidly shares his childhood dream of having a family.
Wrapping up, we outline the goals of our fertility project and TDawg's initial reaction when I proposed the project. We share some endearing moments, discuss our shared love for pickleball, and offer a few tips for playing the game better. Lastly, we encourage our audience to discover and pursue their passions. This project is ongoing, extending various forms of support. Men dealing with fertility issues are encouraged to share their stories.
