Ep 145 Dr. Shahine's Fertility Journey: Interview by Jennifer Edmonds

What happens when a fertility doctor becomes the patient? How does infertility change the way you practice medicine? And what can we all learn from a journey that blends science, compassion, and lived experience?

In this special episode of Brave and Curious, the tables are turned as Dr. Lora Shahine takes the guest seat to share her personal fertility story. Interviewed by fertility advocate Jennifer Edmonds, this heartfelt conversation dives into the vulnerable, complex, and sometimes humorous realities of being both doctor and patient on the path to parenthood.

Dr. Shahine opens up about her own struggles with infertility, secondary infertility, and the emotional rollercoaster of IVF. She offers insight into how those challenges deepened her empathy for patients and reshaped her medical approach.

Together, she and Jennifer explore the evolution of fertility care over the past two decades, the importance of early education, and how social media has transformed community and connection in the fertility world.
