In this episode, I'll be talking with Dr. Heather Brown, a doctor of psychology and licensed marriage & family therapist. She is a TedX and keynote speaker, as well as published in hundreds of journals. She is a relationship expert and helps people recognize the power of communication.

Dr. Heather, drawing from her personal experiences and professional expertise, delves into the complexities of communication during fertility struggles. She emphasizes the importance of open, honest dialogue, the unique emotional experiences of partners, and the need for compassion and self-love. The discussion covers practical advice for couples, the emotional toll of infertility, and broader lessons about embracing life's challenges. Dr. Heather also introduces her book, 'Speaking with the Heart,' which focuses on improving communication and deepening relationships.
