Hello beautiful, Monica here! Let me just start by saying, if you’re one of those amazing, determined women who think they can bulldoze their way through fertility challenges with sheer willpower and an endless checklist… buckle up, because I’m about to burst that bubble with love and honesty.

This episode dives into the oh-so-common traps we all fall into on the fertility journey. From the "health" foods that might be your worst enemy (hello, tomatoes!) to the supplement aisle looking like a fertility gold mine but actually being a liver’s worst nightmare—we’re calling it all out.

And let’s not forget the emotional and physical toll of IVF and IUI. Yep, we’re going there, because someone has to say it: more treatments don’t always equal more chances. I also share a bit about my own Type A tendencies and how they didn’t just slow me down—they made my body rebel. If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll just outwork this infertility thing,” let me save you some time: stop.

Tune in for some real talk, a little tough love, and a whole lot of practical tips to help you step back, slow down, and get on the right path to becoming the conscious mama your baby knows you can be.
