A 4-Week Journey to Agency We move through a structured flow designed to tackle the internal, relational, and medical challenges of fertility in order.
Week 1: The Empowered Mindset (Agency) We begin by shifting your focus from the uncontrollable outcome to the controllable process. You will identify your "Fertility Saboteurs" (like the Comparison Trap) and master the 'Catch, Challenge, Change' technique—a powerful CBT tool to rewrite your internal narrative and stop spiraling thoughts.
Week 2: The Connected Self (Connection) Navigating relationships is often the hidden burden of fertility. We introduce the Circles of Connection framework to help you manage boundaries and energy. You will learn specific scripts for the "Outer Circle" and learn how to move from debate to dialogue with your partner.
Week 3: The Data-Driven Advocate (Clarity) Transform from a patient into a partner. We decode the overwhelming world of data, teaching you to navigate success rates using the "Denominator Dilemma" and evaluate add-ons using the HFEA Traffic Light System. You will leave with the Three Power Questions you must ask your clinical team.
Week 4: The Resilient Community (Integration) We solidify your support network. Through the Empowerment Circle capstone, we lock in your learning and create a sustainable plan for the future, ensuring you move forward not just with hope, but with a strategy.
What You Will Walk Away With Beyond the sessions, you will build a personal toolkit of resources to use long after the programme ends:
The ‘FERTILE’ Roadmap: Your personalised plan for managing feelings, embodiment, and time during treatment.
The Fertility Tree: A decision-making model to help you navigate complex choices with logic and heart.
Boundary Scripts: Pre-written ‘Elevator Pitches’ and ‘Professional Pitches’ to handle difficult questions from friends, family, and colleagues.
The Partner Toolkit: Specific strategies for supporting partners to move from ‘fixer’ to ‘pillar’.
This programme is for you if:
You want more than just ‘stay positive’ you are looking for practical, expert-led strategies to manage your mindset
You feel isolated in a crowd Even with supportive friends, you feel no one truly understands the lived reality of the process
You feel "information overload" You have read every forum and statistic but feel less clear than when you started
You want to be an active participant you are ready to move from feeling like a number to being the author of your own experience
