Your Journey to Fertility

Have you been told you just need to think more positively in order to manifest what you want? 

Or do you feel like all the information that speaks about manifesting the life you want just doesn’t work for you? 

So much of what we see about manifestation is surface level – affirmations, mantras, positive thinking...

And while these things can help, they don’t get to the root cause of why you’re not at the place in your l...

If you have a partner on your journey of TTC, you can pretty much guarantee this will be the biggest test your relationship is going to face. 

Aside from the grief of infertility + loss, you’re navigating how much your plans for the future have changed, the financial burdens, how much intimacy becomes a chore & the constant worry that your partner is holding up his end of the bargain when you’re doing everything you can to ...

When you get stuck into the mode of doing whatever you can to support your fertility, it can feel like you’re never able to slow down. 

Fitting in appointments, eating right, making sure you take all your supplements, exercising, tracking your cycle…it’s endless and there is always something more you think you should be doing. 

But what if the opposite was actually true? 

What if slowing down, doing less & taking a ...

So much of what we focus on when we’re trying to conceive is about getting to that positive pregnancy test. And if you’re anything like me – you will do whatever you can to get there.

But it wasn’t until many years into my own fertility journey that I realised the focus shouldn’t be on GETTING pregnant, but ultimately staying pregnant and bringing a healthy baby into the world. 

And when I made that shift – I feel like the ...

Getting stuck in this crazy cycle of doing ALL THE THINGS when you’re desperately trying to conceive is something so many of us can relate to. 

You're constantly on the lookout for anything that can potentially improve and boost your fertility. 

But when does doing ALL THE THINGS get to a point that it’s no longer helpful? And how on earth can you get out of this pattern when you’re still aiming to support your chances...

The one thing you never want to consider when you're struggling with fertility is the possibility of a life without children. 

The fear of going through so much, and for nothing is just too painful to comprehend. 

But – what if it wasn’t so scary? 

What if, even after everything, it actually led you to a beautiful, rich & full life?

There is SO much I could add to the list of what I wish I had known before struggling with fertility...

How much it would consume my life, my relationship, how it would affect my health, to all the things I wish I’d known sooner about fertility treatments. 

But in today’s episode, I will take you through the things that I REALLY wish I’d known. 

The stuff that – when I figured it out – is what really made a difference. 

...

So much of what we focus on when it comes to talking about fertility challenges is centred around women. Everything we have to go through, how much our life changes, and how hard this struggle is. 

But what is it like for the partner who’s going through it too? How hard must it be to watch someone you love go through everything that’s involved with infertility? And how do they cope with this? 

On today’s episode, we hear fr...

If you are trying to conceive - have you stopped to consider what the best kinds of exercise are at this stage in your life? 

What (if any) changes should you make in the 2 week wait? 

And what about if you’re undergoing treatments like IVF? 

In today’s episode I will be taking you through exactly what types of exercise you should focus on, and what to avoid.

By the time you finish listening, you'll find out: 

So much of what we hear around fertility advice is so geared towards the menstrual cycle – when to do what and how to support each phase. 

But what do you do if you don’t have a cycle? Or it’s completely irregular and unpredictable? What does this mean for your fertility and is it possible to ever get it back?

On today’s episode we speak with special guest, Lindsey Lusson, who explains where to start and how to support your...

When you’ve been on your journey of TTC for months, even years by now, it can feel like this never-ending spiral of disappointment, confusion & heartbreak. 

Every cycle feels like you’re having to start over again. It’s exhausting, and as we well know, it completely takes over every aspect of your life. 

So how do you know you’re actually on the right path? That all you’re doing isn’t for nothing? That you're ACTUA...

As a society, I think we are slowly becoming more and more open about fertility issues. Slowly!

But there is one part of this journey that I feel isn’t spoken about enough, that seems like the last area we don’t want to discuss – and that is donor conception and surrogacy.

It’s something we’re not given a lot of information about, and if you’re at the point in your own journey where this is something you need to consider, i...

Have you been diagnosed with unexplained infertility? That frustrating diagnosis where, on paper, everything seems fine. 

Your test results are normal, your scans are normal, your cycle is normal - everything seems NORMAL. But for some reason, getting pregnant just isn't happening.

On today's episode we chat to Dr Aumatma Simmons who is going to answer the question - is unexplained infertility really a thing? And ...

On today’s episode, we share in the journey of my wonderful friend, Kate.  

I met Kate when she was at a crossroads trying to conceive her second child. She was in her late 30s, nothing was working, she'd tried a number of holistic therapies and her doctor had suggested she move to IVF.

But she felt like there was something missing - and that this wasn't necessarily the right path for her.

Kate also talks abou...

You hear this time & time again when you’re TTC:

"Just stay positive!" 

"Just keep trying!"

"I know it’s going to happen for you!"

And it gets to the point where you feel like you HAVE to think positively in order to manifest what you want.

But that’s not how it works. And to be honest – it’s not even possible to think like this all the time.

So on today’s episode, we talk about what ...

On today’s episode, we share in the journey of my wonderful friend, Jennifer.  

I met Jen when she was in the trenches of a very long & difficult fertility path. She had been through years of struggles - multiple rounds of treatment, IVF cycles, miscarriage...

And all without ever knowing why. She never received a diagnosis.

Jen also shares how she got to the point where she knew she needed more than just medical as...

There is so much to be fearful of when you’re on the endless journey of infertility. 

Will my test this month finally be positive? 

What if it’s not? 

What if I have to go through thousands of dollars of treatments to have my baby? 

What if ruins my relationship? 

What if I feel left behind forever? 

On today’s episode, we talk about how fear affects you & your body when you're TTC. And more importantly – how you can g...

On today’s episode, we share the journey of my wonderful friend, Roza.  

She takes us through years of struggles - ectopic pregnancies, multiple losses, unsuccessful IVF cycles...and so much more.

Roza also shares how much this journey affected her life - her work, her relationship, her friendships. But it's a story of strength, resilience & hope. And one that I know you're going to love hearing.
