Guiding Families Through Infertility: Mental Health Insights with Lisa Schuman

I'm so excited to share my latest episode of The Egg Whisperer Show with you! This week, I had the pleasure of interviewing Lisa Schuman, a leading therapist, award-winning researcher, and author who specializes in family building, donor conception, and surrogacy.

Lisa and I dive deep into the critical role mental health plays in fertility treatments, especially when third-party reproduction, like egg or sperm donation and gestational carriers, is involved. She shares her personal journey and decades of professional expertise, introducing us to The Center for Family Building and its new expert-guided community platform.

In this episode, we cover:

What inspired Lisa to specialize in family building and fertility counseling.
The mission behind The Center for Family Building and its resources for patients.
Why mental health support is essential for individuals and couples navigating fertility treatments, surrogacy, or adoption.
Unique ways Lisa supports diverse family structures, including LGBTQIA+ and single-parent families.
Lisa's five-step process for choosing a donor and why it's so important to consider the psychological and genetic aspects of family building.
