Fertility Journeys: Grief, Growth and Same Sex Fertility with Tanya Smith
Today I’m talking with Tanya Smith, a fellow TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) practitioner and ABORM fellow. I invited her on the podcast because she is someone who I've really looked up to over the years. I met her when I did a summer student internship at her clinic, over 10 years ago and she has been a mentor, colleague and friend ever since. I’ve even seen her for treatments over the years.
Today we talk a lot about fertility, grief and movement through the process.
We discuss expectations and body image.
TCM vs conventional medical ways of looking at the body and the type of clinical experience you might have in either of these models.
We talk about her own fertility journey as part of a same sex couple, and the ebbs and flows of that experience.
And she shares a WHOLE lot of wisdom and advice.
