    Loving this show for years
    Infertility and Me is the podcast I keep coming back to again and again. It’s Monique’s openness, her vulnerability to share about such personal topics. It really shines a light on what so many of us have been going through in the dark in a way that makes me feel seen and understood. Keep up the great work!

    In this together
    This podcast is generating a great community and provides a sense of unity around the experience of infertility.

    Great for anyone going through the infertility nightmare
    Anyone struggling with infertility should take a listen to Infertility and Me. All of us who have gone through our own fertility struggles know how much frustration and anxiety the process creates as well as the stress on the marriage or relationship. These episodes deal with everything from these mental health challenges to the physiology of infertility on both the male and female side. It’s nice to know you’re not alone and through other people’s experience you can figure out your personal path forward.

    Supportive Podcast
    This is a wonderful support for those who are navigating these difficult circumstances. Whether it’s a personal journey, or empathizing with someone you know and love going this. This is a powerful supportive podcast. Monique thanks for sharing your heart.

    Wow.
    Anyone touched by infertility should listen to this podcast. The topics and conversations are raw and relatable. As someone who struggled to conceive our son, I can appreciate the vulnerability that comes with sharing stories here. Well done.

    Great Resource For Fertility Journey
    What I love about this show is that Monique really gets it. She comes across casually, as a friend who’s got so much compassion and empathy for the listener’s journey. Well done 👏 As a sex therapist, I’ll be recommending this show to clients!

    So needed!
    As someone who suffered silently with infertility, I’m so happy to know this podcast exists now. I had two miracle babies (and I’m done now), but this podcast is so so needed. Although I’m on a different journey now, this podcast left me feeling inspired to keep going on that journey. Thank you, Monique. 🙏🏻

    Great show
    Really solid podcast with a great host on some serious topics
  • team CourtNate and Anna Banana
    I needed this pod.
    For real because I’ve had tons of issues ttc for many years. I finally had my rainbow 12/2017 but it wasn’t like the pregnancy was easy. In fact, everything that even led up to it was difficult. It’s a blessing but all good things are tough to get apparently. I’m in my 40s now and it’s just discouraging to see others having baby after baby and I just want to have one more. I’m really blessed to have mine, but it’s taking me time to feel like I can just give up. There I am on my rant, but thank you for this because I follow many ttc groups but have yet to find a podcast about it, until now. 🙏💜

    Relatable and necessary!

    Brave Stories for Women Who Need Infertility Community
    This is a great, well-targeted podcast for women who’ve experienced infertility or have a friend or family member who has. Some early episodes have tough volume mixes, but it’s nothing to deter a great listening experience.
  • scottwyden
    Totally sharing this with others
    So my wife and I wound up adopting due to health issues and it was the best decision. So this podcast hits close to home. I’ll definitely be sharing this show with others who are struggling in some way to have a child naturally.

    A place to break out of the silent suffering
    Years ago my wife and I went through an ordeal to conceive. Fortunately we “came away with a bundle” (and eventually one more) but I remember how the years TTC were lonely and my wife did not want to be around pregnant women in any context, so it was so important to find support. Monique provides such a resource in this show from a place of compassion and understanding (not to mention a relaxing, soothing voice!) that so many people (women and yes men) need so they don’t have to suffer silently!
  • Goody1128
    Really well done!
    Shout out to Monique for putting this show out there! I am a huge fan of a podcast that knows it’s audience and owns its niche. Monique is a great host, super vulnerable and does a great job speaking to her audience!
  • AnonymousAndrewPodcast
    Fantastic topic
    What an inspirational and wonderful podcast. The host Monique is doing so much for the fertility community. Very easy to listen to, and I found it extremely informative. If you’re looking for a podcast about fertility, give this one a listen you won’t be disappointed.
  • HappyPodGal

  • Karen The Therapist
    Relatable and insightful
    Monique has a way of making both guest and listeners feel comfortable in their vulnerability. I love how each show feels as if you are in your living room talking to your girlfriend. This is a great podcast for anyone who feels alone on the TTC journey. A must listen!!!
  • Freebeck's Itunes
    Infertility & Me & ALL OF US
    This podcast is so helpful to hear from others going through what I am going through, to know we are not alone in any of our feelings and that the bad feelings are okay. I love how comfortable Monique is talking about even the more difficult aspects of fertility including loss, and how comfortable she is sharing her own story.
  • MegAnneRenee
    The end of suffering alone in silence
    If anyone has ever worked to decrease the stigma surrounding fertility struggles, it's Monique. In this podcast, and on her instagram feed, Monique allows us a safe space to discuss our issues, process our fears, and come away with ideas for how best to proceed in our journeys. When I spoke with Monique about creating this podcast, she told me she wanted to be the voice she needed when she was going through her own journey, and friends, this is absolutely the voice you need. She's got you!

    All the Options
    Thank you for highlighting ALL the aspects of infertility. From success and traditional methods to frustrations and alternative options I love that you shine a light on the many ways to build a family!
  • Passion Board Shop
    Meaningful 🙏
    Thank you so much for making this show. Infertility is such a difficult challenge that no one should have to face. Openly having these conversations is like having a support group. You’re helping so many people 🙏
  • Ceire Nevins
    Love this podcast!
    I really enjoy listening to the conversations Monique has with other fertility warriors. Everyone’s story is so unique yet so connected. It makes me feel less alone and part of a community. Thank you Monique for providing this space and sharing with the world!
  • SrFreshko
    Perfect.
    You have no idea how important your podcast has been for my wife and I. We are definitely going through it emotionally in terms of becoming parents. I love your candor. Even though I've only listened to 5 episodes. I will continue to listen and use it as a way to educate myself, my wife, and begin to have those open discussions. I feel like you are speaking to our situation. And thank you for this!!!
  • mechanelle
    Looking no further!
    If you are a black woman or woman of color and you are not tuned to Monique's show, I dont know what youre doing with your life. Even though the show features many races, I was so relieved to find this podcast created and hosted by a strong black Queen. Maybe one day I will be brave enough to talk to Monique and share my journey. The stories are so comforting.
  • vonnes96here
    Fan girling
    Hope it won’t be too much longer for new podcasts. Monique is a natural behind the mic. Was wondering if new episodes would become available. Love the other too that she’s a part of.
  • Stacey L. Brown
    Absolutely Amazing
    I love this podcast and the how this safe space allows for people to share their stories. I feel seen not only as a woman with infertility, I also feel seen as a black woman.
  • sharonhg522
    A soothing safe place
    The infertility and me podcast is wonderful! I look forward to listening to it whenever it comes out. Monique has a very soothing voice and creates such a safe place for her guests and listeners. I love all the different topics covered. And I love following her on Instagram and other platforms because she has great content there as well.
  • aln258
    My favorite infertility podcast
    Monique has put together a show that brings in diverse voices and experiences. She is a skilled interviewer who treats all of her guests with kindness and compassion. Monique is real, and asks the real questions of her guests, which gives us, the listeners, the real answers about what other families have faced as they have journeyed through infertility. As a woman of color who is navigating infertility in what feels like a very white infertility world (where experiences like mine make up a small minority), Monique’s podcast is a safe haven for all people, no matter their background, who are just trying to make it through this madness with love and humor.
  • CholitaLover

    So important and necessary!
    As someone who’s just had a hysterectomy and doesn’t know what to do with it, this podcast is so incredibly important. I’m so grateful that Monique is talking about infertility and the feelings around it because it’s not something that’s talked about enough! If you are struggling with infertility or anything surrounding that, this podcast is so affirming!
