Have you been on a fertility journey—past or present? We want to hear from you.

We’re gathering anonymous feedback to help fertility clinics better understand the real patient experience—beyond just the medical model. Your input will help highlight what clinics are doing well and where there’s room to grow, especially when it comes to supporting the emotional and mental health side of the journey.

📝 Take our quick needs assessment and be part of the change. Help us advocate for more compassionate, whole-person care in fertility treatment.

The belief that “mental health stigma is no longer an issue” is a common misconception. While awareness about mental health has improved significantly over recent years, stigma still persists in many communities and social circles. This stigma can manifest in various ways, including discrimination, social exclusion, and negative stereotypes, which can prevent individuals from seeking help or talking openly about their mental health struggles.

Many people still face judgment, misunderstanding, or shame related to mental health issues, which can lead to feelings of isolation and exacerbate their conditions.

Efforts to reduce mental health stigma have made progress, such as educational campaigns, advocacy, and increased visibility of mental health stories in the media. These initiatives aim to normalize mental health conversations and promote understanding and empathy.

However, complete elimination of stigma has not been achieved, and in many areas, it remains a significant barrier to accessing mental health care. Challenging stereotypes, promoting open dialogue, and fostering supportive environments are ongoing needs to further diminish mental health stigma.

We often get asked, what’s the difference between mental health and self-care and wellness. Well, here are some thoughts off the top of my head and wouldn’t you know they seem to compliment each other in many ways!

Mental Health: state of being-how you think and feel

Self-care: the actions you take-intentional actions taken for yourself

Wellness: bigger picture for life-long term balance

Self-care is one tool you use to maintain wellness, while Wellness is the overall condition you aim for,

Sleep isn’t just rest for your body—it’s fuel for your mind. 💤

When we sleep well, our brain gets the chance to reset, process emotions, and store memories. It helps us regulate mood, think clearly, and handle stress with more ease. Without it, everything feels harder—patience runs thin, focus slips, and emotions can feel heavier. Prioritizing sleep isn’t lazy; it’s an act of caring for yourself that protects your mental health and strengthens your resilience.

😴 Tonight, give yourself permission to rest. Your mind will thank you.

Hi Everyone! Let's kick of this day with five things you might not know about me:

1. I started my personal therapy journey in 2021 after the loss of my mom

2. I have a dog who will be 17 years old in September

3. I started a vegetable garden this summer (the rabbits are winning)

4. Even as a therapist, I struggle with labeling my emotions and communicating them sometimes

5. I donated my hair for cancer 3 times.

Now what's one thing people might not know about you? Feel free to share below or message me privately.

Prioritizing mental health helps build and maintain stronger boundaries because it fosters self-awareness, emotional resilience, and a clear sense of personal needs and limits. When mental well-being is a priority, individuals are more in tune with what makes them feel safe, respected, and balanced—making it easier to recognize when a boundary is being crossed. Healthy mental functioning also supports assertive communication, reduces guilt around saying “no,” and empowers people to advocate for themselves without fear or people-pleasing. In turn, strong boundaries protect mental health by preventing burnout, resentment, and toxic dynamics—creating healthier relationships and a more stable sense of self.
