Breaking Taboos: How OVUM is Changing the Fertility Industry

Fertility care is often shrouded in stigma, outdated systems, and a lack of emotional support. But Jenny Wordsworth, founder of OVUM, is on a mission to change that.

In this episode, Jenny shares how her years of adventures, including a 700 mile solo expedition to the South Pole, shaped her resilience, how the path to becoming a mother changed her perspective, and why she founded OVUM - a company designed to bring a more compassionate and empowering approach to fertility care. We dive into the parallels between extreme exploration and the emotional endurance required to face reproductive challenges, the gaps in the current system, and how she’s working to reshape the journey for others.
