Are your emotions quietly blocking your fertility—and you don’t even know it?
Most women on the fertility journey are doing everything right—tracking ovulation, eating clean, meditating, seeing specialists. But if you’ve been suppressing your emotions or clinging to control, your womb may not feel safe enough to open.
In this soulful and raw conversation, Carolina is joined by medicine woman Laila El-Bana to explore how emotional suppression, unhealed shame, and a fear of surrender create invisible barriers in the womb. Together, they unpack what it truly means to feel your emotions, create emotional safety, and why surrender is the most radical (and fertile) act of trust you can take.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:
✨ Why emotional numbness is the “silent killer” of fertility
✨ How unprocessed feelings create energetic tension in the womb
✨ The first steps to creating emotional safety so your baby can come through
This episode is your permission slip to feel everything. Because your emotions aren’t in the way—they are the way.
