Dr. Marotta is a clinical psychologist, speaker, workshop facilitator, and author of two books, including A Fertile Path: Guiding the Journey with Mindfulness and Compassion. In her work, she shares the lessons of her own healing journey through infertility, and those of the women and men she has worked with, to bring the teaching and practice of mindfulness to the challenge of fertility. After five years of repeated miscarriages, IVF, donor IVF, and failed adoptions, she became the mother of a daughter through surrogacy.

In her own words, “When confronted by the often-overwhelming stress that comes from infertility and its treatment, learning to stay present and maintain equanimity is not just important, it’s essential. Mindfulness can help you navigate the complex network of emotional and physical trials that infertility presents.”

In today’s show, we talk all about the role of mindfulness when coping with fertility challenges.
