We all have a Reproductive Story

Today, Jesse and Doug are thrilled to be joined by the incredible Dr. Janet Jaffe to dive into how infertility can disrupt our reproductive stories.

We all weave narratives about our lives—stories about our families, our pasts, and our dreams for the future. At the heart of these narratives lies our reproductive story, filled with hopes and dreams of becoming parents.

In this episode, we explore the emotional impact of losing or altering this story. Dr. Jaffe helps us understand the pain that comes with these changes and offers a compassionate framework for rewriting our stories. Together, we’ll discover how to find growth and new beginnings, even when our paths take unexpected turns.

Janet Jaffe, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist who has been working in the field of reproductive psychology for over 25 years.  She is a co-founder and has served as co-director of the Center for Reproductive Psychology in San Diego, CA. Her clinical work focuses on helping individuals and couples navigate the many emotional and psychological pitfalls that can happen on the journey to parenthood.
