The Unspoken Side of IVF: Men, Masculinity, and the Emotional Toll 01/21/2026

The Unspoken Side of IVF: Men, Masculinity, and the Emotional Toll IVF rarely makes room for men and this episode of Quiet The Clock changes that. Beth sits down with Brett Eaton for an unfiltered conversation about what IVF looks like through a male lens. The pressure to stay strong. The quiet grief. The awkward moments no one warns you about and the emotional weight men are expected to carry without a roadmap. Brett shares how fertility treatment challenged his sense of masculinity, and forced him to relearn what support and partnership really mean. Together, Beth and Brett talk about the gaps in fertility education for men, why silence can create distance in relationships, and how honest conversations can actually bring couples closer during the hardest moments. This episode is raw, validating, and deeply human, reminding us that IVF isn’t just a medical process, it’s an emotional one that both partners experience. If you’re navigating fertility treatments, supporting a partner, or simply want a more honest conversation about what IVF really demands, this episode is not to be missed.

ABOUT OUR GUEST: Bijou Finney The Mushroom Mamasita, Medicine Woman, Integration Alchemist, and Retreat Creatrix I am a coach/ facilitator specializing in visionary life design for conscious entrepreneurs, couples & women desiring to come alive. My special mix of psychosomatic, plant medicine education, and therapeutic coaching heals wounds and clears blocks within the realms of pleasure, purpose, prosperity, persona and power. Maybe I owe it to my parents for naming me Bijou — a French word meaning “precious little gem” or “trinket.” That name must’ve planted a seed in me early on: that my life was something to be treasured. Over the years, I’ve done the deep work to understand that truth on a cellular level. Why? Because I’ve seen what happens when we forget. When we disconnect from our inherent value, it shows up as burnout, discontent, and dis-ease.

Single, Empowered, and Creating Family on My Terms 12/17/2025

Single, Empowered, and Creating Family on My Terms Get ready, because this episode of Quiet the Clock is a ride. I’m joined by the incredible Katie Bryan, founder of The Single Greatest Choice, and she brings the kind of honesty and “I’m doing life my way” energy we absolutely love around here. Katie opens up about her raw, very real journey to single motherhood by choice — navigating divorce, fertility challenges, miscarriage, and the emotional roller coaster that comes with pursuing motherhood on your own terms. She shares how she shifted from a mindset of scarcity to one rooted in radical self-trust, and how rebuilding her support system, redefining community, and giving herself permission to choose differently changed everything. This episode invites you to challenge the old narratives around motherhood, release the pressure of timelines, and celebrate women who carve out their own path — even when it looks nothing like what society expects. Katie’s story is powerful, human, and full of the kind of insight that stays with you long after you listen. ABOUT OUR GUEST: Katie Bryan is a mindset coach, community facilitator, and host of The Single Greatest Choice Podcast. She lives in Austin, Texas, with her adorable 4-and-a-half-year-old son, Miles, and poorly behaved cocker spaniel mix, Oliver. Motherhood was always part of Katie’s plan, but doing it alone wasn’t. When she found herself single in her late 30s, solo motherhood felt like a last resort—but surprisingly it became the single greatest choice of her life. That unexpected decision brought more fulfillment than she ever imagined, both in the experience of motherhood and in the community she's fostered. With her own pivot into solo parenting, Katie was determined to create a vibrant community of bold, brave women navigating the decision to parent on their own. Now, she’s dedicated to helping these women find clarity, confidence, and connection on their solo motherhood journeys—because while we may be single, we don’t have to walk this road alone. Links: We Also Talk About: Katie Bryan's personal journey to single motherhood by choice. Experiences with relationships, including divorce and dating challenges. Fertility issues, including egg freezing and intrauterine insemination (IUI). Emotional and societal pressures surrounding motherhood and fertility timelines. The importance of emotional readiness versus biological timing in motherhood decisions. Stigma and judgments faced by single mothers by choice. The dismissive attitudes of fertility doctors towards women's emotional states. The need for nuanced conversations and support for women navigating motherhood choices. The impact of community and connection among women facing similar challenges. The ongoing decision-making process and personal growth involved in single motherhood.
