We’re diving into how perfectionism and emotional stress can affect fertility - and why letting go might be the key when you're trying to conceive.
If you’ve been diagnosed with Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR), Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI), or Poor Egg Quality—and you tend to over-research, overanalyze, or feel like you need to “do everything right”—this episode is for you.

We share powerful mindset shifts, nervous system regulation tools, and practical steps from our Fab Fertile Method to help you reduce overwhelm, restore balance, and reconnect with your body.
