EP #99 - Men & Infertility: Failed IVF and the Emotional Toll of Staying Strong with Scott Wiederhold
What if the fertility journey wasn’t just about navigating treatments and making decisions - but also about making space for the emotions men often carry in silence?
In this conversation, we explore the deeply personal experience of infertility and IVF with Scott Wiederhold, who shares his own journey through the emotional challenges of trying to build a family.
Together, we reflect on the pressure men may feel to stay strong, the grief that can come with fertility struggles, and why vulnerability is not a weakness, but an important part of healing. We explore how infertility can affect relationships and why honest communication can help couples feel more connected through the uncertainty.
We also talk about resilience, emotional support, and finding hope after setbacks. Because behind the appointments, treatments, and decisions are real people navigating disappointment, fear, and the longing to become parents.
At the heart of this episode is a reminder that men deserve space to feel, grieve, and ask for support, too. Strength doesn’t mean carrying everything alone - sometimes, it begins with allowing yourself to be seen.
This isn’t just about infertility or IVF.
It’s about vulnerability, connection, and redefining what it means to be strong.
And if you’re navigating this journey, may this conversation remind you: you don’t have to have all the answers or hide what you’re feeling. Your emotions matter, your story matters, and you don’t have to walk this path alone.
