Today's podcast episode is very different to the other episodes in this season.
I asked my community for their questions and looking through them all carefully last week I realised there was one really common theme that needs an entire episode.
This episode is a letter to our friends and family.
A letter you can share with them when you want to help them understand what you're going through.

Male Infertility with Matt Zukowski
In today's episode, Ceci talks to Matt Zukowski about his male infertility diagnosis.
Infertility has almost always been discussed by women and about women but thanks to people like Matt, the taboo is starting to be lifted.
Infertility impacts approximately one in every six couples who are attempting to start a family and in around 40% of these cases, male factors are the contributing cause.
Matt is so open and honest about his fertility situation and his mental health.
Male infertility is a huge topic and this conversation is such an important one.
