“Dear Partner…”

Dear partner,

I know you’re trying.
Even if you don’t always know what to say.
Even if you feel completely helpless watching someone you love go through this.

I know you’re scared, too.
Even if you don’t show it. Even if you feel like you can’t show it because you’re trying to be the strong one.

But here’s the thing—this isn’t just happening to one of us. It’s happening to both of us.

And if we don’t talk about it, it will eat away at us quietly.

What I Wish You Knew…

I wish you knew that when I cry after a negative test, it’s not because I’m giving up—it’s because I need a minute to mourn.

I wish you knew that I don’t always need a solution. I just need you to say, “This sucks, and I’m here.”

I wish you knew that I still want to feel close. That sex has started to feel like a job, and I hate that, but it doesn’t mean I’ve stopped needing you.

I wish you knew that I’m grieving things I haven’t even lost yet. Time. Hope. Control.

And I wish you knew that you’re allowed to grieve too.

The Mental Load of Fertility – It’s Not Just in Your Head

Trying to conceive isn’t just physically demanding—it’s mentally relentless. If you’ve ever felt like your brain has 47 tabs open (and one of them is tracking your ovulation while another is crying in a corner), this episode is for you.

In this raw and validating solo episode, Tauni gets real about the mental load of navigating fertility. From juggling appointments, medications, and endless decision-making—to managing emotions, relationships, and the crushing weight of expectations—it’s a lot. And it’s not just in your head.

✨ In this episode:

• A rant-worthy breakdown of what the “mental load” actually looks like
• Gentle coaching reminders to help lighten the emotional weight
• Tools and mindset shifts that don’t involve 18 apps
• A quiet invitation to explore what true support could look like

You are not broken. You are just carrying more than most people realize. And you don’t have to do it all alone.
