Episode 45 – Dealing with Fertility Challenges Abroad (with Veronica Santini)

empowered expat wife infertility challenges

There is never a good time to experience fertility challenges…

But going through them abroad can make this journey an even more painful, lonely, and isolated one.

My guest today, Veronica Santini, has been there too. Shortly before getting married to her Dutch boyfriend, for whom she had moved to the Netherlands, she received some stirring news: she was diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency (or early menopause) at age 32.

In this episode, Veronica opens up about her story and shares:

  • what the hardest part about experiencing fertility challenges abroad was
  • an upside to going through this far away from home
  • her advice for women in a similar situation
  • what’s helped her cope
  • how to find a community of women to feel held and supported

 

If you are experiencing fertility challenges and unwanted childlessness abroad, we hope you get some nourishment, support, and relief from listening to this episode.

If you have a friend going through this, please pass this episode on to her!

 

About Veronica

She is a yoga teacher and women’s health mentor for conscious and ambitious women, who are ready to unlock their full potential.

By educating women about their bodies and sharing rituals and holistic knowledge, she helps them connect to their full femine power and reframe womanhood, so they can embody the best version of themselves.

With a decade of experience teaching yoga, 700+ hours of training in multiple yoga styles and countless hours of studies about women’s health, but most of all, as a woman with firsthand experience facing an infertility diagnosis and menopause at age 32, she understands how difficult it is to reclaim your own body and voice in the society we grew up in.

She believes all women deserve to feel confident in their bodies and empowered to live a life in full respect of their female cyclical nature. For this reason, she helps women feel rooted in their bodies, connected to their voice and supported by a community, so that they can be the best version of themselves in any phase of their cycle or life.
