Episode 125 - Bridging the gap between the physical + spiritual when your TTC

Okay so this isn't one of those "just checking in 😇" message. It's the last day to join FMBM. Like, ever. No reopening. No "maybe later." It's *closing time* 🎶 And I wanted to send something that actually felt like me. Which is why I'm ending the HELD IN HER STORIES series with a story from a lovely FMBM graduate, Dana. Dana talks about how, very quickly into TTC, the pressure took over. How age narratives, fear, and scarcity turned something so special into an emergency. She joined FMBM because even more than wanting a baby, she wanted herself back. ⭐️How surrender sounded nice… but felt impossible. ⭐️How reading my book gave her the first sense of relief she'd felt in a long time. ⭐️And how joining FMBM didn't magically make things easy – but gave her a place where she didn't have to pretend she had it together – so she could unravel what wasn't working. What stood out most to me in this conversation is how clearly she describes the shift: Nothing changed because she tried harder. Things changed because she stopped fighting herself. FMBM gave her the space, support, and surrender to face the fear underneath the urgency, and to learn how to be with uncertainty w/o turning on herself. And guess what? She's now weeks away from giving birth 🥹 But the part that matters most to me? She learned how to trust herself before life resolved anything. That's the heart of Fertility Mind-Body Mastery. Not just getting pregnant. But knowing you can feel relief on the way to what you want the most. You can stop waiting to get your life back ❤️ So if you've been listening… reading… circling… If something in your body keeps saying this feels different — I just want you to know: This is the absolute last day to join Fertility Mind-Body Mastery. And my honest question for you is: Do you want to keep resisting this experience… or meet yourself inside it? 👉 LISTEN NOW!

If you've ever hit that one-year mark and thought, "Okay. That's it. Something's wrong with me…" this episode is going to land in all the cells of your body. In today's Held in Her Stories episode, I sit down with Chelsea — one of the incredible women inside Fertility Mind-Body Mastery — and she lets you into the real behind-the-scenes of her journey: Not the polished Instagram version. The crying to a friend because it's been a year version. The buying every book, every supplement, every device version. The "I'll try anything that worked for someone else" version. You know… the human version. Inside this episode, we go there: The moment she realized she'd spent so much money trying to "do it right"… and why none of it actually touched the part of her that was truly hurting

If you've ever thought… ⭐️"I should be further along by now." ⭐️"Once I finally get pregnant, then I'll feel okay." ⭐️"If I don't control this, it won't happen…" …then this week's Fertile Ground episode is for you. It's part of my Held in Her Stories series — real women, real fertility journeys — and this one with my client Macey is… a lot. In the best, most honest way. Macey got pregnant the very first month she tried. Then she miscarried two months later. She was still bleeding from her loss when her best friends announced their pregnancy — the friends she had always dreamed of being pregnant with at the same time. From there, she went straight into:"I need to get pregnant again. I need to catch up. I need that baby back. Once I get that baby, I'll be okay." Every period felt like reliving the miscarriage. Every cycle felt like proof she had "failed" again. Until she found my book Fertile Ground, and then joined Fertility Mind-Body Mastery — not because she was in a good place, but because she was miserable and would've tried anything to feel even a tiny bit of peace again. (Hint: You don't have to feel perfect to ask for help!) In this episode, Macey shares: The moment she realised her suffering was coming more from her perspective than from her circumstances.

If we're honest… for a lot of us, TTC quietly turns our partner into a project. Did you take your vitamins? Don't get in the hot tub. Drink more water. Not that beer. Let me just manage literally everything so this can finally work. On top of tracking, appointments, and Google spirals… you end up carrying the mental load for you, your body, and your partner. And suddenly, the person you fell in love with feels more like… a fertility coworker you're constantly correcting. 😬 Today's podcast is medicine for that part of the journey. 🎧 New episode: Held in His & Her Stories — with my husband, Dan. In this episode, I bring my husband Dan (yes, the famous spreadsheet-loving money guy 😉) onto the mic to talk about: What happens in a marriage when control becomes your default survival strategy

Ahhh – you don't want to miss this one! The 2nd episode in our HELD IN HER STORIES series is for the woman who's smart (Like, scientist smart), resourced, doing all the things… and still feeling anxious underneath it all. Today I'm talking to a member of FMBM with a PhD who came into fertility like it was a science experiment — 5 rounds of IVF, deep in the research, treating her body like a problem to solve. And then she walked through IVF and miscarriage… and had to learn how to trust her body again after loss. This convo is raw and so, so validating. We get into: That belief: "If I don't control every detail, it won't work" — and how it actually creates more contraction in the body
