Joanna Santinon - How to Navigate a Demanding Career & IVF

“Until you’re trying you just don’t look into fertility and you don’t understand where the fertility cliffs are and where the drop-offs start to happen.”

Our guest today is Joanna Santinon, EY Ambassador, Non-Executive Director and Charity Trustee.

Joanna bravely shares her personal fertility journey, including how she combined multiple rounds of IVF treatment alongside her demanding career as a partner at Ernst & Young. 

We discuss:

• What to know before you embark on IVF
• Why compartmentalising really helped Joanna
• The best piece of advice Joanna received 
• Why having IVF didn’t affect her career 
• What Joanna wishes she'd known in hindsight 

We hope you enjoy the conversation.
