Finding your people when you're TTC (with Hannah Pearn from Don't Tell Me To Relax)

How can you connect with people who "get it" when you're trying to conceive? What's the best way to set clear boundaries? And what red flags should you look out for?

On this episode of Too Much Information, Issy is joined by fertility acupuncturist and founder of Don’t Tell Me To Relax, Hannah Pearn. Together, they explore the often-overlooked side of fertility journeys: feeling alone.

This episode is all about the human side of TTC: the power of saying no - and saying yes. Small shifts to help you survive social media overwhelm and pregnancy announcements. And practical ways to find others who genuinely understand.

Expect honest thoughts, recommendations, and reassurance that whatever you’re feeling, it’s completely valid.

We’ll be answering the questions…

💭 Why can trying to conceive feel so isolating?

💭 How do I know if an online fertility community is right or wrong for me?

💭 Is social media helping me, or fuelling my anxiety?

💭 How do I handle pregnancy announcements without falling apart?

💭 Is it okay to say no to baby showers, events, or even certain friendships?

If you’re trying to conceive, navigating fertility treatment, or supporting someone who is, this conversation will help you feel less alone and more equipped to find the support system you need.

🤝 Don't Tell Me To Relax community
