Experiencing infertility can be a lonely journey, and our guest Kimberly Nicholson transformed that loneliness into a movement. In this no-holds-barred episode with host Dr. Lora Shahine, Kimberly shares her experience of founding a peer-led infertility support group along with additional recommendations for anyone feeling isolated in their fertility experience.

This episode focuses on Kimberly's story on the other side of infertility. After experiencing infertility's emotional highs and lows, Kimberly created a support group to give back to the infertility community. She and Lora discuss the pros and cons of fertility support groups, resources for finding local groups, what a typical meeting looks like, and valuable tips for anyone thinking of joining an infertility support group.
