Into the Fertility Rabbit Hole — for the Boldly Curious

Fertility is one of those topics most of us carry privately - and almost no one talks about honestly. The medical overwhelm. The emotional weight that goes unacknowledged. The alternative paths dismissed. The stories that never get told.

This evening, and hopefully beyond, we're changing that.

Whether you're still figuring out if parenthood is even for you, actively planning your fertility journey, or right in the middle of it - this space is for you. Women and men, all welcome.

Join us for an intimate fishbowl conversation - a living circle where personal stories meet collective healing. Rather than a panel or a presentation, this is a shared space where our guests speak from lived experience across three dimensions of fertility: body, mind, and environment. You are invited in - not just as an audience, but as part of the conversation.

The evening is built around three pillars:

Body - the physical reality of fertility, from the wisdom about our cycles to taking charge on
Mind - the emotional and psychological landscape: grief, hope, identity, and resilience  

Environment - the external forces shaping fertility today: nutrition, toxins, systems, society

This is not a session for easy answers. It is a session where you will hear real stories - from people who have lived them — and leave knowing that you are not alone in yours.

About I Am Magic

This evening is brought to you by the creators of I Am Magic — an expert-reviewed fertility companion workbook designed to support you wherever you are on your fertility journey. Part practical guide, part emotional companion, the workbook helps you navigate the physical, emotional, and environmental dimensions of fertility with clarity and self-compassion. Reviewed by leading medical professionals and grounded in real-life experience, I Am Magic was created because every person on this journey deserves to feel informed, supported, and realise that we are all a little bit magic.

Bilge Apak Sato is the co-founder of The Tiny Pea and co-author of I Am Magic. A women's health advocate with a background in tech and digital strategy, she has spoken on fertility openly — including in her TEDx talk Coming Out of the Fertility Closet — and believes the most powerful thing we can do is tell the truth.
