S9 E30 - IVF, heartbreak & crisis friends. Davina's story from down under

This week, we’re chatting with the wonderful Davina, who opens up about her journey to motherhood — the hope, the heartbreak, and all the messy bits in between. From the crushing lows of loss to the emotional rollercoaster that is IVF, Davina shares her story with honesty, humour, and strength that’ll stay with you long after you listen.

We talk about the things people don’t tell you — the waiting, the what-ifs, the tears in the car, and the tiny sparks of hope that keep you going. This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt alone in the chaos of trying to conceive.

Because as always, you’re not on your own, mate.
