In this special episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal guided meditation that I created for a client who was navigating the emotional aftermath of an early miscarriage.

This meditation is designed to offer solace, healing, and a sense of calm for anyone who has experienced the loss of a pregnancy—whether it was a chemical pregnancy, a loss after a donor egg transfer, or any early miscarriage.

How This Meditation Can Help:

🌟 This meditation offers a space to connect with your inner self and your experience of loss. Through visualization, breathwork, and gentle guidance, it helps you navigate the intense emotions of grief, sadness, and confusion.

🌟 It also encourages you to embrace self-compassion, helping you acknowledge the depth of your loss without judgment or pressure to “move on” quickly.

🌟 By tapping into the power of the subconscious mind, the meditation invites a sense of peace and acceptance, offering a new perspective on your loss and how to carry it with you in a way that fosters healing.

How to Use This Meditation:

You can listen to this guided meditation at any time—whether it’s during a quiet moment in the evening, before bed, or whenever you’re feeling overwhelmed by emotions. It’s meant to be a resource you can come back to whenever you need a sense of calm and a compassionate space to feel your emotions.

Support Resources

If you’re looking for additional support, I encourage you to reach out for one-on-one counseling or hypnotherapy sessions. Sometimes, having a safe space to talk through your experience can be incredibly beneficial, and I’m here to support you in any way I can.

In this heartfelt episode, we continue our conversation on the complex emotions and spiritual perspectives surrounding miscarriage, particularly for those on the donor egg journey. 💜

✨ **What You’ll Hear:**
- A discussion on the grief and confusion women experience when a miscarriage happens on a donor egg journey.
- How miscarriage can be seen through a spiritual lens, as a sacred pause or moment of alignment rather than a loss.
- The concept of the *spirit baby*—how some women feel the presence of a soul around them, even during challenging times.
- The inspiration behind the guided meditation I created for early miscarriage, which I’ll be sharing in the next episode.

💫 **Why It Matters:**
Women on the donor egg path often endure multiple losses, both with their own eggs and donor eggs. Miscarriage is a deeply isolating experience, yet it's rarely discussed openly. Through sharing this episode and next week’s meditation, I hope to provide comfort, understanding, and healing support.

In today’s episode, I’m tackling a deeply sensitive topic—pregnancy loss and miscarriage—especially for those who are on a donor egg journey. 

While donor eggs can significantly increase your chances of conceiving (often to 70-80%), the chance of experiencing a miscarriage is still present.

I’ll be sharing practical tools and emotional support strategies to help you navigate this difficult experience, whether it’s a failed embryo transfer or an early pregnancy loss. It’s important to remember: it’s not your fault. 

Blame, shame, or guilt can cloud your healing, but there are ways to shift from fear to curiosity around your emotions, allowing yourself to process them in a healthy way. 

We’ll dive into recognizing and acknowledging your emotions, why they’re important, and how to take steps toward healing, whether it’s through self-care, journaling, or simply allowing yourself to feel.

Remember, your emotions are your inner guide, helping you process grief and find your way toward healing. I’m sending you love and heartfelt support as you move through this journey.

Key Takeaways:

• Donor eggs increase your chances of success, but miscarriage remains a reality.
• Blame and guilt have no place in your healing; it's not your fault.
• Emotions are energy in motion; allowing them to move through you is essential for healing.
• Tools for coping: self-care, journaling, acknowledging your emotions, and healthy expression of anger or frustration.
• Curiosity over fear: shifting your perspective on emotional pain helps foster growth and healing.

Call to Action: If you’re navigating a donor egg journey and need personalized support, let’s connect. You’re not alone. Book a 1:1 session with me for emotional support, counseling, or hypnotherapy, and we’ll work through these challenges together. Sending love to you on this path. 💕

In this heartwarming episode, we sit down with Lynn to discuss her journey through donor egg IVF, her anxieties before becoming a mom, and how those fears melted away once her son arrived. Lynn shares the surprising and beautiful reality of how strong her bond is with her son and how genetics never even crossed her mind once he was born.

Lynn offers reassurance to anyone currently navigating the donor egg path, reminding us that the love you’ll feel for your child far outweighs any initial doubts. From navigating family questions about "who the baby looks like" to opening up about her child's conception story, Lynn shows us the power of owning and celebrating your unique path to motherhood.

We also dive into how she talks to her son about his conception, why being honest is key, and how she’s handling the possibility of future connections with donor siblings. Lynn’s story is a beacon of hope for any woman still in the thick of the journey, offering a glimpse of the peace, pride, and overwhelming love that lies on the other side.

Key Takeaways:

• Genetics don’t define your bond with your child.
• Letting go of fears about the future can lead to unexpected joy.
• Being open about your donor conception story takes practice but can be incredibly healing.
• Children are more receptive to their conception story than you think—start the conversation early and keep it ongoing.

If you’re on the donor egg journey and looking for guidance, emotional support, or someone who truly understands, consider booking a 1:1 session with me.

Together, we can navigate the complexities of your unique path to parenthood.

In this episode, we delve into the critical considerations for selecting an egg donor and understanding genetics. 

Reflecting on my own journey, I share practical advice and offer reframes on common fears about donor selection and genetic traits. 

The conversation also covers the influence of epigenetics and the impact of the intended parent's environment on the baby's development.

Key Learnings:

• Genetics Uncertainty: Understanding that genetics are unpredictable and choosing a donor with similar traits doesn't guarantee your child will resemble you.
• Epigenetics Impact: The unique chemistry of the intended parent carrying the child plays a significant role in the baby's development.
• Child-Centered Approach: Emphasizing the importance of selecting a donor with young age and good health, and considering the benefits of an open ID or known donor.

In this episode Adele explores considerations around choosing a known egg donor.

This is a wonderful option and gold standard for child centred donor conception.

There are also lots of considerations:

• What Relationship Do You Want to Have with Your Donor?
• What Kind of Input Do You Want Your Donor to Have on Your Child's Life and Upbringing?
• Has Your Donor Finished Creating Her Own Family?
  
  There is also lots of great advice on the donor conception networks world-wide on this subject.
