The training is under way - now it’s over to you 🙏

For the first time in the history of making the podcast I’m doing an actual fundraiser.

I’m asking you to support me.

To be honest - making the podcast for over a decade has been its own fundraiser as for a long time it was just created out of a passion to help others feel less alone… to put my broadcasting skills and lived experience to good use…

It was only once I’d established a bit of a back catalogue thanks to the amazing voices happy to get involved in the early days as I was also having to help people understand what a podcast actually was.. it took several years before I was able to get sponsorship to keep the pod going.

Today I’m so chuffed it still is - as there have been times I’ve been ready to stop, I thought it was done.. then I met .rolling5 and learnt about .action

Katie’s energy and determination captured my imagination and I knew there was more to be done.

Last year the pod became the official pod for the charity and so as well as asking for you to donate, the pod will be also be celebrating the brilliant souls taking part. Some are fellow podcasters, others are medical experts and then the rest are awesome humans doing all they can to pay it forward.

If you are following me because you were TTC and the pod helped or maybe you’re still there and listening - or you’re a pal please give what you can 🙏 the link is in my bio and you can also scan the QR code.

I’ve just ordered new boots and am excited to spam you with my training as I get ready for this June adventure..

Huge about on this to the amazing women in this space who just GSD ( Get sh*t done ) and I was delighted to celebrate last night for birthday!! These are just some of the awesome women who don’t stop using their voices to make a different .nickerson_smith

There can always more to find out when your TTC and from explains how his colleague and pal and male fertility advocate leant about his varicocele at one of their support groups…

Which is why this conversation is so useful - especially if you’re trying engage a man in this conversation and so far they’ve not really been keen to talk or learn more.

Have a listen and do check out the shownotes to find details of all the support available 🙏🎙️🎧

Today’s episode aims to be a starting point, on what to consider if you are looking at your routes to parenthood as a member of the LGBTQ+ community 🏳️‍🌈

I chat to Carole Gilling-Smith Medical Director about the care her clinic provides, the UK wide education she delivers to other clinics to help them be more inclusive and we talk about how best to approach any fears you might have about certain aspects of treatment, so you can advocate for yourself.

Carole also talks about her work as a trustee with .action and why she feels so strongly about access to treatment and what needs to change!

Please share with your friends and family if it will be helpful and if you’d like the pod delivered personally to your DM’s pop the 🎧 symbol in the comments below.

Nobody said that s*x would become this timed activity.. that it would become something of a performance because there was so much resting on it just working - like it seems to do for everyone else…

But how do we cope with it once it’s become tainted, once we’ve suffered a loss, when we feel so hopeless..

How do we find our mojo again?

Well let’s start by talking about it, which is what I got to do with in this weeks episode and this first quote was one Kate shared - that had been shared with her and it’s so good!!

Kate has been on my list for yonks, as I got to record her audiobook by some twist of our worlds colliding.. and in this episode she talks through how we can work our way back to finding the joy in s*x ( wasn’t that the name of that video 😂 )!!

Have a listen and let me know what you think. Do subscribe via if you haven’t yet OR pop the word podcast below and I will DM you a link 🎙️🎧
