Why Didn't Anyone Tell Me This?

Joyce Harper

Booking Overview

An expert-led reproductive health interview podcast focused on fertility, infertility treatment, IVF, evidence-based care, and the emotional and workplace realities of family building, it regularly features senior clinicians, researchers, psychologists, and established patient or workplace advocates. PR agencies could credibly pitch reproductive medicine specialists, fertility psychologists, evidence-based health authors, fertility-policy experts, and leaders with substantial lived-experience advocacy; booking difficulty is high because recent guests are internationally recognized academics, clinicians, and sector leaders.
