In this episode of That Fertile Feeling – The Podcast, I talk to perfectionism coach Evelien Bijl. Evelien sheds her light on how you can let go off perfectionism about your fertility regimen. We also discuss how you can ease up on emotional perfectionism, i.e. the idea that you’re not allowed to feel fear or stress because that might harm your chances of conceiving. In addition, Evelien provides some pointers on how to deal with the stress that your fertility journey may have put on your intimate relationship(s). Enjoy!
