  • Free Guided Relaxation & Visualisation - Imagine your family
    Episode 62: On the podcast this week I am sharing one of my favourite visualisations where I guide you on a journey into your future to imagine being a family of three and you and your partner putting your child to bed and reading him or her a story. 

    I start by sharing the benefits of using visualisation and how to clear any emotional or energetic blocks that you may uncover by listening.

    NOTE: Only listen to these MP3s when you can safely relax, do not listen whilst driving or operating machinery. This track is safe to use whilst trying to conceive and once pregnant however by choosing to listen you agree to take full responsibility for your own well-being.

    Listen to this one with your partner if he/she is open to doing so and discuss what type of parents you intend to be afterwards.

    Something a little different this week. For those of you that attended my free masterclass on Tuesday you will know I lost my voice towards the end!

    I hope you are doing okay this week do you message me on Instagram or Facebook and let me know what you thought of this little time out in the bluebell woods.

  • Donor Conception - The Emotional Journey
    Episode 58
    This is truly an amazing, inspiring and uplifting episode for everyone who is currently trying to conceive not just those who are considering donor conception.
    Meta is a donor conception coach who helps family-focused, responsible, and thoughtful women and couples who have found themselves facing a journey to parenthood they had never imagined: using donor eggs, donor sperm or donor embryo.
    Meta and her husband Michael went through their own infertility challenges and after four IUIs and three rounds of fresh IVF, they achieved their dream of a family through using donor eggs.
    In this 50 minute interview Meta shares:
    * How she felt when her doctor first suggested that they should move to donor eggs.
    * How at that point she said “No I’m not going to do that.”
    * She talks us through how she felt at each stage of the process; getting on the donor waiting list, being matched to a donor, going through the treatment cycle alongside their donor, finding out she was pregnant with twins, when she first saw her girls after giving birth and now she is a mum of two almost 5 years olds.
    * Why she thinks we need to open up the conversation around donor conception.
    * How choosing to use a donor is a big decision and you need to be in the right frame of mind to make that decision and how to do that.

    Check out the podcast episode now just search for Embrace Fertility on your fave podcast player or watch on the Embrace Fertility YouTube channel. Both can be accessed via my website via link in my profile @embracefertility.
    Meta has been featured in multiple podcasts, has spoken at the RESOLVE Midwest Family Building Summit and founded a community of families who used a donor.

  • 57. Suffering is Subjective
    Episode 57 Suffering is Subjective.
    It’s National Infertility Awareness Week in the US and thousands are sharing their personal experiences of infertility, fertility treatments and pregnancy loss. 
    It is easy to fall into the trap of comparing your own journey to others and even feeling jealous that “She only struggled for X months” or feeling guilty that others have been through so much more than you. 
    Suffering and pain however are subjective and cannot be measured by the amount of months someone has been trying to conceive or the number of failed treatment cycles they have had.
     
    Even if someone has suffered multiple miscarriages the actual level of suffering they experienced we can never fully comprehend. 
    This is due to the fact that outside experiences cannot make us feel a particular way, even an event as emotive as pregnancy loss. 
    We only ever experience life through the lens of our own thinking. 
    It is not what is happening to us but how we perceive what is happening to us. So two women who on paper appear to have identical stories will each be experiencing their own reality through the lens of their beliefs, past experiences, mental state in that moment and their predictions of the future. Listen for more.
