    Really no actual information to help
    This is more her boasting her support group and working on mental health, not giving information about how to physically help infertility issues.

    Moving forward and feeling understood
    This summer, I began researching how to get involved with an infertility support group— after my husband and I had been dealing with infertility for 12 years. We aren’t pursuing medical intervention. It is male factor infertility. We are not pursuing adoption at this time either. Our doctor explained that this is our only option if we want children. This has been such a heavy and isolating journey. And my husband and I are grieving at very different rates. For me, it’s been a long grieving process, which I’ve mainly dealt with on my own. So far, I haven’t found a support group, but I discovered Jenica’s podcast! I was reaching for someone who could relate to me and my situation. And although my husband and I are not considering adoption right now, I know we are moving forward in a positive direction for us and our marriage. Jenica’s podcast quickly became one of my favorites as it offered joy, hope and an insurmountable amount of understanding of my situation— one that many couples deal with yet are left with few resources for coping with this kind of loss. As a listener, I would very much like to hear an episode in which you share insight for those of us couples who are unsure about moving forward with adoption and who are considering to be content as a married couple without children. And I realize that this topic may seem like an odd fit for your podcast, but for many of us who cannot have kids, no matter what, there is still room for us in the conversation. Thank you for all that you do, Jenica. Bless you!

    LOVE this podcast and YOU!
    First off, thank you for creating this podcast and sharing your journey with all of us. I have been listening to you for over a year now. At first, I found this podcast to make me very sad and remind me of my infertility struggles. But after sticking with it and listening to every episode, you have showed me that I’m not alone! This podcast is so positive, inspiring, and uplifting. It is exactly what I needed. I also am SUPER excited about what is in store for the private podcast. Thank you again for making a huge impact on my life! Makenzie Stroup

    Absolutely invaluable!
    With all that infertility can bring: loneliness, uncertainty, isolation and so so so on… this podcast gives SO much validation, knowledge, mindset, motivation, understanding, as well as the feeling that we’ve got this! :) I’ve since started working with Jenica and it has truly been invaluable! Thank you!!

    My Feelings Now That I’m Pregnant
    Present Day: I am currently 13 weeks pregnant. Our second IUI was successful and we were so surprised. What a blessing! I want to make it known that I know this is also very lucky and my heart goes out to anyone listening to this that is still trying. I listen to this podcast now with some guilt but also relief. Jennica and guests carried me through my journey. I am beyond grateful for this safe place. I hope that it will reach so many hurting women. Original Review: Every time I listen to this podcast I am reminded that I am not alone on this journey. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 2 1/2 years. Endometriosis, and PCOS have halted our greatest desires. Jennica has taught me that I do have to sit and around and be sad about it. I can find joy through this trial. If anything, I should take this time to date my husband and remain strong together.

    Pulled me out of the dark
    Thank you so much Jenica for the helpful tips for when things get hard. Your episodes have pulled me out of the dark and made me realize I am not alone in this. We are stuck in waiting currently and I am so grateful for your podcast to get me through that time. Thanks for everything!
  • Rediseult
    So needed!
    Am I an overachiever? Check. Am I struggling with infertility grief? Check Would I find this podcast useful even if I wasn’t dealing with infertility sorrow? All the checks! I really wish this podcast had been around nine years ago, and I’m so glad it is now.

    A Grateful Husband.
    Thank you so much for this podcast. My wife and I have been through a difficult journey, the last few years, trying to have a baby. I definitely feel like people don’t tell you how hard and emotional this can be. My wife found your podcast a few months ago and it’s really changed her perspective and has given her a lot of hope. I am grateful for Jenica, and all of the women who have shared their stories. Keep up the great work and keep the faith.

    The Best Support Through an Unwanted Journey
    This podcast has been an incredible source of support through this journey that none of us asked to be on. From the guests to Jennica sharing her personal experiences with a bunch of strangers to help them through their journey, it’s been so helpful to not feel so alone.
  • KatBrown1308
    From A to Z
    A short backstory on my journey: married 11.5 years & trying for a baby for 10.5 years. From unassisted pregnancies: 2 ectopic pregnancies (1 resulting in the loss of a Fallopian tube), 2 miscarriages. Assisted: 2 rounds of Clomid, 1 round of letrozole, 3 IUIs (1 with STIMS) resulted in 0 pregnancies. Started IVF in May of 2022 with some testing showing that my other Fallopian tube is now completely blocked. Fresh transfer resulted in a miscarriage at 8 weeks. Frozen embryo transfer number 1 was a negative. Did the EMMA, ALICE & ERA testing. 2nd frozen embryo transfer also resulted in no pregnancy. Currently preparing for our 3rd frozen embryo transfer with our last embryos. In May of 2022, I wanted to find all the help I could get through the start of our IVF journey & I came across this podcast. At that time I had no idea how taxing this was going to be in all aspects of our lives. Emotionally, physically, financially, spiritually, socially - it effects it all! Yet somehow through all the craziness, Jenica has created this wonderful, safe place where she talks about everything from A to Z. She talks about it all & manages to do it in such a real, but kind way - not something that is easy to find in this world today. I feel my bucket filled each time I listen to this podcast, even by things I didn’t know I needed to hear & I always leave wanting more. To Jenica, I greatly appreciate all of your hard work, real talk & light you bring into this world during what can be the hardest, longest & darkest times in our lives.

    This podcast and the advice and stories that are shared brings so much light and hope when you are feeling lost and alone. It shares journeys of love and hope intertwined with the harsh realities you often feel going through infertility.
  • STBZ2323
    Awesome Podcast
    This podcast has been so great! I’ve only listened to the first ten episodes so far, but Jenica has shared a ton of useful tools already and she is always very supportive in each episode. It’s helpful to hear from her guests to learn their stories and perspectives on infertility, as well. Definitely reassures me that I am not alone on this journey and I can make it through my struggles. I am grateful for all of Jenica’s hard work to create this podcast and bring her knowledge to more women who need it. So glad to have her in our corner. Keep doing what you’re doing Jenica, you are so good at it!

    Peace and Hope Amongst Unknowns
    I have PCOS and was struggling to get pregnant again after multiple losses. This podcast gave me peace and strength and a community to fall back on when I felt discouraged or I was in the waiting time to see if my efforts to conceive had been successful. I got pregnant and it was such a blessing!! Now I am returning to this podcast again as I am beginning my journey of trying to conceive again, and I’m excited to feel that peace and hope as I navigate this journey again. Thank you Jenica for your inspiring words!

    Empathy through the earbuds 💖
    I’ve been listening to this podcast since the beginning of my journey and I can honestly say it’s been a game changer. We have had an unconventional and unique journey, and Jenica truly oozes empathy without enabling bad habits to continue. It’s been the perfect balance to motivate me on “bad days” to keep moving forward and trust that subtle mindset shifts will carry me through to the place I want to be. I’ve participated in Jenica’s group coaching and can attest to the power of the principles she teaches here! Even just the small invest of time listening to this podcast weekly has changed my outlook on life during this difficult season of infertility. My relationships with others, myself, and god are better because of it. Forever grateful for Jenica & the work she does — it truly feels each week like the messages were made just for me.
  • Skyejaden
    Very thoughtful!
    I truly appreciate the way that she addresses self care and not losing yourself I’m the journey.

    Finally hopeful
    Jenica’s podcast finally makes me feel hopeful. Listening to her makes me feel validated and not alone. This journey is so so hard but WE can get through it. She has helped me so much with her positivity and reassurance. Her resources, and just this whole community, makes walking through the struggle much more bearable. Thank you for all you do and for showing others that their is hope.
  • Chrucas486
    Great information!
    I don’t struggle with infertility but I love to research and learn about things. This information is so helpful for anyone going through this hard journey. There’s so many resources out there and this podcast gives you hope!
  • Megkg
    The support is priceless!
    As I began my infertility journey, this podcast was a huge help! Just knowing that I’m not alone was incredibly helpful. The tips are fantastic because everything seems very doable!

    Building Confidence
    Being new to the infertility community and just starting our journey, Jessica has helped me build a sense of confidence through the fear and loneliness that infertility can bring.
  • HayleeB5
    Truly life changing
    This podcast was sent to me by a close friend who was going through infertility and it came to me at a breaking point in my life! Infertility is so hard in so many ways but for me it was hard because I felt like I had to go through it completely alone and telling no one! It seemed like on the weekly I was being asked why we didn’t have kids yet and to just keep smiling and saying well we’re trying and the people just awkwardly laugh back was starting to become unbearable, until i started listening to this podcast! This podcast has allowed me to take back joy into my life and recognize that I can still grieve and be sad but still feel hope and joy through these circumstances! Truly a game changer for me in my life! Can’t say enough good, go give it a lesson❤️
  • KatieB24
    Must Listen for Infertility
    I am newer to listening to the podcast and also to the journey with receiving fertility treatments. I have never felt more alone in my life until I found the podcast and felt like finally I found someone who has been there and can understand the inner turmoil. Thank you for being open and willing to share your experiences to bring comfort to others that we are not alone
  • StephWelch21
    Not Alone
    I love hearing about other people’s experiences while going through infertility. Whether that be their journey or even their thoughts/emotions/etc. I love knowing that I’m not alone and that there are things I can do to still love the life I have!
  • Auntie1369
    New Listener
    This podcast has been helping me out so much. I no longer feel insane, so many people feel the same feelings and it’s extremely reassuring for my mental health. Keep up the awesome work, your voice is very soothing to listen to and I love the people you bring on to hear different experiences people go through. I ended up getting pregnant the first month of trying and then having a miscarriage at 17 weeks. We have been trying for 14 months now. It ended up being my husband who is the problem. I’m hoping to hear some stories about male infertility in the future!

    Jenica sheds positivity & light in the darkness of infertility
    Jenica’s podcast is the first time I felt seen as a woman struggling with infertility. Hearing Jenica’s story & her positivity about infertility really helped me open up to others about my struggles, after I had been navigating infertility by myself for almost two years. She shares wonderful resources & because of her recommendations I am actually at the fertility clinic she went to. Don’t know where I would be in my journey without people like Jenica💛
  • jesseddy1991

    Completely inspiring and always uplifting. Dealing with infertility can be very stressful. Its a constant rollercoaster of emotions. Having someone who can give you that comfort, understanding and reassurance is essential. Thank you for taking the time to empower everyone who is going through that!
  • Emball1717

    Better friend
    This podcast has help me be a better friend to a few of my friends and family dealing with infertility. I am grateful for better insight in how to help and support them instead of awkwardly avoiding it out of fear of saying or doing something wrong. I also truly love how so much applies to any trial we are going through and it has helped me navigate personal trials that are not infertility. Thank you Jenica for being open and vulnerable and helping so many.

    You don’t have to walk this road alone
    Jenica is as authentic as they come. It’s easy to feel connected to her and feel supported by her through the Fearless Infertility podcast. Jenica and her guests share their experiences with infertility in a way that breaks down the barriers of this often taboo subject. It feels so refreshing to feel seen and understood and encouraged to keep going!
  • Mm19878
    Great podcast
    I love that this podcast just doesn’t go over the medical issues with infertility, it covers it all! There is a lot to address with infertility and Jenica does a great job at being a coach. I also like that she brings people on her podcast that give a new perspective to those of us struggling. Would recommend to anyone who is struggling with infertility.
  • marissa plaisted

    Helpful Hopeful messages amid the challenges of fertility
    Grateful for this podcast and many of the messages of support from host Jennica as well as guests who share their journey, tools, and experiences here. Mindset is so tough to manage sometimes since fertility challenges seem to affect all aspects of life. I appreciate how the simple focus on what a person can be empowered to manage verses the many factors out of our control, and a faith and hope-filled approach to continuing to try. Thanks for creating this community and support.
  • Mia Velle
    This podcast saved me…
    When I experienced my first loss, it was during the pandemic and I didn’t have much of a support system readily available. Furthermore, none of my friends had been through what I had experienced so there wouldn’t have been a point of relation anyhow. I felt nobody understood. I was distraught and devastated and feeling extremely isolated. I came across this podcast and I would start taking long walks, listening to different episodes and it felt like I was walking with a friend through my experience. The hardest way part to me of going through pregnancy loss or infertility is feeling like you are the only one and it’s never going to end. This podcast helped me realize that there are other people that have been dealt far worse hands than me and I saw how they are dealing with it and pivoting and that sometimes it’s ok to break down to rebuild. Thank you.
  • nvo2023
    Hopeful
    I just started listening to this podcast and I was open to listening to this. My husband and are have been trying to have a baby I have had some procedures done and have felt alone and hopeless. I felt alone since we been keeping this pregnancy journey very private. It made me hopeful to hear this podcast you have no idea how it changed my energy and focus on my future. Thanx
  • tayfrost2021
    Love ❤️
    I just started to listen to this podcast and I honestly can say that I now don’t feel alone, my friends recently all have not had any issues with fertility, and I am so happy for them, but also in the back of my mind… I get jealous and sad. It’s not fair for me to think that, but this podcast has given my away to shift my mind and be more positive. I have already have learned so much! I’m not sure if you have spoken about the normal women cycle and advice on when to have sex, but I feel like that would be helpful too just starting with the basics. And maybe even nature way to birth control

    My Best (Infertility) Friend!
    A few weeks ago I had my first appointment with a fertility specialist. At one point during the meeting my Doctor asked me if I had any close friends that have gone through infertility treatments that I could talk to. I told her no (not really) because, while I do have friends and acquaintances that have been through infertility treatments, I’m not very close to them and it can be difficult to rearrange schedules in order to really sit down and talk with someone or to constantly ask them questions. I found the Fearless Infertility podcast and quickly realized that I had found “that friend” in Jenica. She’s like the friend that you can “talk”to anytime and truly understands what you are going through. Any questions that I have can be found within the episodes of Fearless Infertility and even answers to questions I didn’t know I had or had not yet though of. I’m so grateful that I found Jenica and her podcast, she’s so informative, relatable, and truly a friend.
  • KayliMaygirl
    Hope
    This podcast has helped me to be more present in my life by helping me make space for big emotions and acknowledge what I’m experiencing. It’s helped me to have more courage and to not feel as crazy while going through the trenches of infertility. Thank you for making this space and filling it with authenticity, curiosity, & hope.

    Your New Favorite Podcast
    I love this podcast so much. I honestly recommend it to so many people- even those who aren’t going through fertility challenges. Jenica is relatable, understanding and motivating. I am in a better headspace than I was 6 months ago because of this podcast 💗

    Navigating Infertility With Grace and Resilience
    I recently discovered the "Fearless Infertility" podcast and have been completely hooked. It’s my go to listen each morning! My husband and I struggle with infertility, it has been so refreshing to listen to a podcast that addresses infertility with honesty, vulnerability, and humor. I’m a positive person and so when Jenica brings such a positive and hopeful attitude to the topic and reminds listeners that it's possible to find joy and meaning in the journey, no matter what the outcome, and that’s priceless to me. I especially love the episodes with her husband and how they share their journey together because it is a team effort when it comes to infertility. My husband and I have not struggled as long as others, but Jenica shares that no matter how long or what your journey looks like infertility is infertility. Another thing I appreciate about this podcast is the way it promotes self-love and self-care. Jenica offers practical tips and strategies for taking care of yourself emotionally and physically and encourages listeners to prioritize their own well-being throughout their infertility journey. I highly recommend "Fearless Infertility" to anyone dealing with infertility challenges. Thank you, Jenica for sharing your stories and helping others navigate the ups and downs of infertility with grace and resilience.
  • TravelingHill
    Thank you for all the work you do!
    This podcast is amazing and I am so grateful for it. I actually discovered Jenica on a different podcast where she talked about her fertility story with Tammy Hill. I think that podcast was a gift from god as only a few hours earlier, my doctor had told me that if I was to get pregnant again, I would probably miscarry. It is so good not to feel alone and truly know that heaven sent that podcast to me. I am early on in my infertility journey. I miscarried last summer and it has been hard to find people to relate to my story. I have now gone back and listen to several podcasts. I am so grateful for this podcast hearing the stories from so many inspirational women who have taught me to have faith and trust and not only God but myself. I know that this road isn’t easy, but I am not alone. Please keep up the good work again thank you so much.- Hillary H.

    Positivity in a negative situation
    I started listening to this podcast several months ago when I was in a dark place in my infertility journey. I had found other podcasts, but they just gave information or made me feel worse. Then, I discovered Fearless Infertility and Jenica. Jenica is a light in the darkness and has helped lead me out of a dark tunnel towards the light. While infertility is not a journey I ever wanted to take, I feel less alone and more capable of tackling the feelings that came with it because of this podcast! Thank you Jenica for putting this out into the world for all of struggling with infertility.

    Jenica, I want to thank you for doing this podcast. I have been really struggling with a diagnosis regarding infertility and I feel like I just have to be strong going forward but while crumbling inside. I have felt so alone and feel like no really understands. Your podcast makes me feel heard and know that there is a whole community out there who understands and can help me through the tough times. Thank you!

    God Sent
    The title says it all. God has put Jenica and her podcast into my life for a reason. Literally feel like I’m talking to myself in the mirror. Someone who understands the pain I’m going through. 4 + years of struggling with infertility. 3 IUIs one ending in an early miscarriage and the second two failing. Recently did a round of IVF back in May which resulted in 21 eggs but only one embryo to transfer which failed. Devastated to say the least. Your story, courage, and life experience has given me so much hope. I have been finding God on this journey of mine and one particular phrase I hear a lot in this podcast is “his timing is the perfect timing. His plan is better than our plan ever could have been. Just have to trust in him.” Thank you for being that voice we all need. Im so happy I found this podcast!
  • 2121byu
    Love this Podcast!
    I am so grateful to have found this podcast. My husband and and I have struggled with infertility and have had to use IVF to build our family. Jenica is so open and honest and about the ups and downs of infertility treatment and makes the podcast feel like your chatting with a best friend. This is an amazing resource for anyone who’s dealing with infertility.

    Breath of fresh air
    I found your podcast yesterday and feel like I’ve been binge listening to it since. My husband and I have been trying for four years. I was in a really low spot and my husband suggested I find friends or find people who are going through similar things. (I am a very closed book) it wasn’t until I found your podcast that I actually felt seen and understood. THANK YOU for your podcast. It is giving me the glimpse of hope I needed through this hard time!!!
  • nikkiwebber
    Hope and perspective change
    I found this podcast when I needed hope and encouragement. I have been struggling terribly with the mental and emotional battle that is infertility. Finding someone who can relate first hand and has made it to the other side is so comforting. This is the perfect podcast to put on to or from work, it has totally changed my perspective. Thank you, Jenica!
