The Fertility Rabbit Hole - a session for the boldly curious

Fertility is one of those topics everyone has feelings about — and almost no one talks about honestly. The medical system can feel overwhelming. The emotional journey is rarely acknowledged. Insurance coverage is confusing. And alternative approaches are often dismissed or misunderstood.

In this session, the hosts Valerie and Bilge, co-creators of the fertility companion workbook I am Magic, and together with the audience, will talk about a genuinely full-picture-situation. No sugarcoating. No single narrative. Just an honest, multi-dimensional conversation about fertility today, grounded in lived experience and professional expertise. The session invites the audience into the rabbit hole with curiosity, openness, and the reassurance that whatever their fertility story is — they are not alone.
