In/Fertility In The City

By: Infertility In The City
  • Summary

  • In/Fertility in the City is a podcast dedicated to exploring the complex relationship between in/fertility and work and how to manage this effectively.

    It is hosted by Natalie Sutherland and Somaya Ouazzani (and Emma Menzies for Seasons 1-3), who have had to navigate their own fertility challenges alongside professional life, and are united in their passion for ensuring that better quality information and support is made available to others doing the same.

    Together they interview incredible guests, from a variety of industries, who generously share powerful stories and valuable insights into in/fertility at work issues.

    Their moving and thought-provoking discussions are intended to break the silence around this taboo topic, and inspire new attitudes and behaviours that will improve and normalise the management of fertility challenges in professional contexts.

    If you’re a professional managing in/fertility, baby loss, fertility treatment or other paths to parenthood, or you have an interest in understanding and supporting those who are, then this is a ‘must listen’ for you.

    TRIGGER WARNING: This podcast deals with discussions of in/fertility and/or baby loss.

    GUEST

    Emma Whitney is the Director of Embryology & Genetics at The Evewell, London. With over 20 years of hands-on practical IVF laboratory experience, she specialises in pre-implantation genetic testing of embryos with a passion to prevent the transmission of inherited genetic disease, and to enhance the capabilities of embryo selection.Emma’s commitment to genetics – coupled with her multitude of experience – allows for a pragmatic and honest approach when discussing embryology.

    Emma believes IVF patients should have the opportunity to understand what goes on in the IVF laboratory. Her goal is to help patients alleviate some of the stress and anxiety caused by so many unknowns.

    “IVF is as much an emotional journey as it is a scientific one. I endeavour to protect the mental wellbeing of my patients through education and awareness. So, no matter what science has to offer, every patient is in a better position to deal with their outcomes.”

  • A New Chapter for In/Fertility in the City
    Apr 15 2024
    We’ll be launching Season 4 next week but before that we have a bonus episode to share some news about the podcast. Since we launched the show in 2022 we’ve been a trio, but lives change and create new priorities, and Emma has decided that the time is right to step back and focus on being a mum, running her business, and lots more.

    In this episode, Emma talks with Natalie and Somaya about what In/Fertility in the City means to her, how it has helped her enormously over the last two years, and how proud she is of what the three of them have achieved.

    They also talk about how this situation is not unique with many people as they navigate their own fertility journeys – hopefully into parenthood – finding that you can’t do it all.
