Clarissa Briones — Mon, 24 Apr 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Hey there friend! I’m Clarissa Briones, Certified Fertility Health Coach, Functional Hormone Specialist, and founder of Blossoming Fertility.

During our 3 year fertility journey, I became obsessed with getting pregnant and eventually hit rock bottom. It felt like everyone around me was getting pregnant and I couldn’t understand what I was doing wrong.

I felt alone and isolated during the most difficult and darkest time in my life and I wished that I had someone I could open up to about how I was feeling. That’s why I created the Fertility Friend Podcast. A safe place for women to openly share their story.

I hope that as you listen in each week, you feel seen and understood through these stories to help you feel a little less alone on your journey. I believe that everyone’s path to motherhood is unique and beautiful in its own way, whether you got pregnant right away, after a few months, or even a few years of trying.

That’s why you’ll hear stories that range from preconception planning, fertility, losses, pregnancy, birth, and even motherhood. I’ll occasionally bring on experts in the field as well, to provide you with helpful and relevant information about all things fertility and women’s health.
