Why patience and time can be your fertility superpower

“I spent over $100,000 on IVF and got pregnant naturally after healing my thyroid.”

Hello Beautiful. Monica here, and today’s episode is proof that your body is not broken, even if IVF made you feel like it is. Leslie and I dive into the messy, honest truth about fertility treatments, autoimmune chaos, and what happens when you stop outsourcing your power to doctors and start listening to your own body.

She was told donor eggs were her only shot. Five rounds of IVF, tens of thousands of dollars, specialists across the world—and still nothing. But once she discovered the missing link (a thyroid wrecked by autoimmune disease) and actually supported her body instead of suppressing it, everything changed. She got pregnant naturally at 43. No charts, no meds, no needles. Just balance, presence, and trust.

This conversation is going to ruffle some feathers, because we’re calling out the control freak spirals, the fertility industry scare tactics, and the toxic “just stay positive” advice that leaves women burnt out and disconnected. What you’ll hear instead is radical honesty, a reminder that your biological age is not your destiny, and a soul-deep permission slip to slow the hell down and let your body lead.

Press play now. Your ovaries, your womb, and your nervous system are waiting for this one.

“Patience and time are the two great healers—and yes, even in your 40s, it’s still possible.”
