Episode 131 – How to get a skeptical partner onboard

SPOTIFYAPPLE PODCAST YOUTUBE

In this week’s episode, I share how to have the conversation with your partner or husband who maybe isn’t on board with testing or support for your fertility journey (yet!). I cover some real life examples from clients as well as my top tips to help create a partnership on your fertility journey. This conversation is important! Male fertility is equally as important as female fertility and we want to see the Whole Couple Approach used early on in your fertility experience.
