Ep #9: Happier When

September 26, 2022 • 12 min
The illusion of happiness in the future fills our minds during infertility. We attach so many ideas that we will be happier when we've had the first-hand experience of giving birth or bringing our baby home from the hospital. While these visions are expected, all of the happiness you anticipate to feel at those events is available to you right now. Happiness is an emotion. All emotions are vibrations in our bodies caused by ou...

Ep #4: Dealing With Repeated Failure

February 7, 2022 • 14 min
Failure isn’t a new concept with infertility. In fact, there is something to fail at with almost every step of the process. A failed cycle, failed retrieval, failed transfer, failed beta, let alone the multiple tests your body can be measured against to fail in comparison. If you are going through infertility you have had a good dose of failure already to get to your diagnosis. However, to get through it and onto your ultimate goa...

Ep #3: The Ultimate Goal Of Infertility

December 21, 2021 • 12 min
Defining the goal of infertility is an important step to getting through it but you may be focusing your energy on the wrong goal. More often than not we define the goal as having something in the end (i.e. a baby). This can leave us feeling unfulfilled as we're navigating infertility. Shifting your goal from having a baby to experiencing motherhood can have a profound impact on the outcome you're seeking. This is because i...

November 22, 2021 • 11 min
Navigating negative emotions during infertility can make the experience even more daunting to get through.  If you want to feel better before you reach your goal of motherhood, this is the episode for you. We’re conditioned to think that the baby we long for will make us feel better once the pregnancy test is positive or the baby is in our arms. These things are external circumstances and will never make you feel any better. Noth...

November 16, 2021 • 16 min
Are you feeling stuck in infertility limbo? Unable to gain traction to move forward? That’s not your fault. Most people feel stuck because they don’t realize that is actually keeping them where they are.  They attribute it to the many external circumstances that contribute to infertility but none of those things are the issue.
