Infertility is more than a medical diagnosis—it’s grief, identity loss, and an often silent strain on maternal mental health.

In this episode of Let’s Thrive Postpartum, Kelly Siebold sits down with Dr. Sipra Laddha, MD, mother of four, and co-founder of Luna Joy, a digital mental health clinic dedicated to women’s wellbeing. Together, they shed light on the emotional realities of infertility and why it deserves to be part of every conversation about maternal mental health.

You’ll learn:
• Why infertility grief is unique—and why it’s often misunderstood.
• How IVF and fertility treatments affect mental health and emotional vulnerability.
• The impact of infertility on relationships and how to talk openly with partners.
• Signs it’s time to seek support and how to find the right help.
• How to prepare emotionally for postpartum after infertility struggles.

You’ll walk away with insight, validation, and practical steps to care for your mental health if you’re navigating infertility—or supporting someone who is.

Tune in and know that whatever your journey looks like, you’re not alone—and you deserve care and compassion every step of the way.
