Beyond silence - Navigating loss, infertility and cultural expectations - E44

Every episode of the testhim podcast is special, but this one is extra special as we are joined by our very own Sharan Lota, a key foundation of the LogixX and testhim team.

In this episode we dive into Sharan's professional journey and her deeply personal fertility story and how they're both incredibly intertwined.

Sharan opens up about the reality of carrying joy and devastation side-by-side after losing one of her twin boys at 28 weeks. Together, we explore the heavy, unspoken taboos surrounding stillbirth and secondary infertility, the crushing pressure of family and cultural expectations, and the silent struggle many face behind closed doors.

We also tackle the critical need for male fertility awareness, dismantling the "blame game," and why getting men tested isn't about fear, it’s about empowering families for the future.
