Infertility affects roughly 1 in 6 people worldwide — yet most people go through it in silence, while still turning up to work as if nothing is happening.
In this episode of Hello You, Dan Darwin speaks with Dr Marline C. Duroseau (Dr Mar) — CFO, Managing Director of HR and Leadership Development, TEDx speaker, author and fertility coach — about her 15-year infertility journey, IVF, pregnancy loss and what real support in the workplace actually looks like.
Marline talks openly about the shame and stigma that surrounds infertility, the five IUIs that didn't work, financing IVF over seven years, and losing her daughter Angel Grace at 22 weeks. She shares how sepsis nearly cost her her own life, how therapy became a 15-year lifeline, and how her doctoral research into the lived infertility experience of women in leadership roles led her to the TEDx stage.
This is a conversation about grief, mental health, resilience and leadership — and about what to say (and what not to say) when someone you love is going through baby loss.
In this episode we cover:
Dr Marline C. Duroseau is the author of It'll Happen by 30: A Relentless Journey of Faith, Delayed But Not Denied, and hosts an annual event for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month each October.
