Your Journey to Fertility

When you are going through something as difficult as infertility, one of the first places we go for help is to a therapist.

Somewhere you can express your feelings, understand that what you're going through is a big deal, and to know that you're not alone.

But how important is it that your therapist understand deeply the process of trying to conceive? And what happens when they don't?

On today's episode, we are spe...

Let me ask you this – what is the first thing you do when you receive bad news on this journey? 

My first reaction was always to jump onto google and fall down the rabbit hole of TELL ME EVERYTHING. 

When you're dealing with infertility, it's easy to reach for information as a way to maintain control over what's happening.

But there is such a fine line between educating yourself when you're struggling to get pregna...

Fertility nutrition is a huge topic – and one that every second social media “expert” seems to have an opinion on.

But how do you know what’s right for YOU? And where’s the fine line between meeting your needs and obsessing over perfection?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by two special guests who will simplify everything you need to know about fertility, nutrition, and supplementation if you’re TTC.

By the end, you’ll learn:

• How to...

I have a question for you:

When was the last time you told yourself on this journey "it’s never going to happen"...?

Was it last month – last week? Or was it earlier this morning?

It's so hard to switch out of the mindset of:  "this will never work" – into "I KNOW that I’m on the right path."

So how can you do that? And why is it important when you’re TTC?

Today I want to share...

If you think about it, all successful people in the world have coaches. Whether it’s a competitive athlete, a business owner looking to uplevel their skills, or a performer who wants to get more out of their work. 

Coaches aren’t just for professionals – they’re for growth-minded people who need support as they’re navigating changes or challenges in their lives.

So if you’re struggling through something like infertility, wo...

I remember so many moments as I was struggling through IVF where I ended up crying on the bathroom floor at 3am every night, unable to sleep with chronic insomnia...

And I remember thinking to myself:

If someone could just tell me WHEN I will finally get pregnant, then I can deal with everything I need to in the meantime.

It’s the not knowing, the not knowing WHEN that I think is the hardest part of this process.

When you’ve been TTC for months or even years & things haven’t worked out the way you expected, you start considering that fertility treatments might be the only option.

So often we have this feeling that IVF is the light at the end of a very dark tunnel. If nothing else works, then at least THAT will.

But what happens when IVF doesn’t work?

When you’ve done everything perfectly, and you’re still back in the same po...

Fertility doctors see hundreds - if not thousands - of patients every year who are struggling to conceive. 

So what are the common themes that doctors notice which really have an impact on success outcomes?

And what can you be doing outside of medical treatments to shorten your time to pregnancy?

Today I am very excited to be sitting down with the one and only Dr Lora Shahine - who is going to share with you everything ...

When you’re in your 40s, trying to conceive can feel like a different game all together. 

When month after month you’re not seeing a positive test & you have doctors telling you to start IVF as soon as possible, it’s so easy to feel like time is running out. 

On today’s episode I am sharing Rebecca’s journey – how she went through years of TTC, a pregnancy loss, and then despite the odds – became pregnant naturally at the age of ...

Do you know how to connect with your intuition and inner guidance?

The old saying "all the answers lie within" isn't something we think about very often...

But listening to your intuition can tell you A LOT when you're TTC.

But I often get asked how can I trust my intuition on this journey?

When you are so used to feeling overwhelmed & stuck in a state of fear of your future, it is no wonder if you struggle to t...

Today on the podcast I speak with the wonderful Kelsie - who you may know as Maiden to Mother.

Kelsie went through fertility challenges not once, but twice to build her family, and experienced so many losses along the way.

But what makes Kelsie’s story so interesting is that she chose to share her journey publicly through every step. And this brought her a combination of comfort & support, but also a huge amount of crit...

What is it that fertility doctors see time & time again that makes a difference to pregnancy outcomes?

What are the things that commonly get overlooked?

What can you be doing at home to maximise your chances of getting pregnant, whether you’re TTC naturally or planning to go through treatments?

On today’s episode I have the absolute privilege of sitting down with the egg whisperer herself - Dr Aimee Ayvazzadeh, who shares exactly ...

One of the things I found hardest about struggling through infertility & IVF was how much this journey took over the rest of my life.

Relationship, friendships, work, finances. There wasn’t a single part my life that wasn’t affected.

Everything was put on hold, and I felt like a shadow of who I used to be.

So how do you move past this while still leaving enough time to focus on bringing your baby home? It is such a ...

We see alarming statistics pretty regularly that fertility rates are declining the world over.

It’s estimated now that between 1 in 5 and 1 in 6 couples will have difficulty conceiving.

We know a lot of things impact these figures, but one of the undeniable contributors is the environment around us.

We are exposed to levels of toxins that our grandparents never were. So what impact is this having on your body, your over...

Whether you’ve been trying to conceive for 6 months or 6 years – seeing a negative pregnancy test is devastating.

When you would do literally anything to have your baby, another month without them is heartbreaking.

So how can you support yourself in that moment, and what happens next?

How do you pick yourself up and keep going when this feels like such a huge loss

In today’s episode I want to share with you exactly ...

One of the hardest things to navigate when dealing with infertility is that – you don’t know what you don’t know.

What are the questions you should be asking your doctor?

What if treatments aren’t successful – what happens then? Are there more tests you can do, and where do you go to get the answers?

Being able to advocate for yourself when you feel lost & confused isn’t something that comes easy to a lot of us.

On today’s episode ...

A rollercoaster is the best analogy I can think of when it comes to navigating infertility. 

It’s a combination of the most devastating lows, short-lived highs, massive falls and whether you like it or not, you can’t get off. 

So while you can’t stop the stress or the emotional ups of downs of this journey, can you learn to navigate it in a way that makes the process easier? 

I believe you can – and today I want to shar...

Have you been diagnosed with unexplained infertility? 

That frustrating place where – on paper – everything looks fine. 

Things should have worked. And there’s no obvious reason why you’re not already pregnant. 

But what if your unexplained infertility hasn’t been explored in as much depth as it could be? 

In today’s episode we speak with fertility naturopath Kathryn Moloney who will show you that actually – there’s...

Are you at the point on your fertility journey where you feel things should have worked - but they still haven't?

When you're left wondering - what more is there and what more can I do?

I was in this exact position after so many years of TTC - and this is what led me down a spiritual path of looking for answers, going inwards and connecting to my body (and future baby) on a much deeper level.
