SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
What happens when you give yourself permission to put your thoughts, feelings, fears, hopes, and experiences into words?
In this heartfelt conversation, Shreyasi sits down with author, poet, and writing mentor Rebecca Canup to explore how creative writing can become a powerful source of support during IVF, IUI, infertility, pregnancy loss, and the emotional complexities of trying to conceive.
Together, they discuss the healing nature of self-expression, the importance of finding safe spaces to share your voice, and how writing can help women process grief, uncertainty, identity shifts, and the many emotions that arise throughout a fertility journey. Rebecca shares her own experiences creating writing communities for women, the transformative power of storytelling, and why writing doesn't need to be perfect to be meaningful.
