Dirty Laundry Podcast with Ollie and Em
Podcast Description
Our names are Ollie and Em, and we want to welcome you to the Dirty Laundry Podcast where we air out the unspoken and often hidden stories of our lives. Here, we delve deep into the journey of healing and overcoming trauma. Each episode is a raw, honest exploration of personal experiences, where guests share their ‘dirty laundry’ - the challenges, the struggles, and the triumphs. Our goal is to create a platform for storytelling, understanding, and ultimately, healing. Join us as we unravel the tales that often go untold, and find strength in our shared vulnerabilities.
Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast explores themes of healing, trauma, and personal resilience, featuring in-depth conversations with guests from various backgrounds. For instance, Season 2 highlights stories of sexual assault survivors and advocates, while earlier episodes have touched on childhood development and parenting challenges related to trauma, as seen in episodes discussing infant epilepsy and autism.
Dirty Laundry with Ollie is a podcast that elevates personal stories and supports women in trusting themselves again. Through honest storytelling, gentle psychoeducation, and meaningful conversation, each season explores themes like identity, motherhood, relationships, healing, and personal growth. This is a space to unlearn the noise, reclaim your voice, and build community. My hope is that every woman who listens feels grounded, seen, empowered, and confident in who she already is. Together, we are healing out loud.
Today we are taking a moment to honor National Infertility Awareness Month and revisiting a super meaningful conversation from season four.
This isn’t a replay because we ran out of stories to tell. It’s a replay because some stories deserve to be heard again.
In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with a mother who spent years navigating unexplained infertility, multiple failed IUI treatments, and the emotional, physical, and financial toll of trying to conceive. She shares her journey to IVF (something she once prayed she wouldn’t have to pursue) and how her faith, marriage, and sense of self were shaped along the way.
Now a mother of two boys and the author of You Are Worth the Wait, she reflects on healing, hope, and what she learned in the waiting.
As we celebrate motherhood, we also want to hold space for those walking through infertility, pregnancy loss, IVF, adoption, waiting, or uncertainty. Your story matters, too.
Topics discussed include infertility, IVF, IUI, fertility treatments, women’s health, faith, marriage, motherhood, hope, and healing.
Here on Dirty Laundry with Ollie, I believe ALL stories are deserving of listening ears.
From my heart to yours, Ollie <3
