Fertile Ground: A mind-body approach to getting pregnant - without it taking over your life.

Here's a little bit on my almost 9-month pregnant client, Alyssa. She's an entrepreneur who at one point -- thrived off of all the shit she could get done w/o rest. She also experienced a loss while all her friends were pregnant or having babies. She knew what she needed most was to slow down, rest and grieve/feel what she's been through and be in the magic of what she wanted to create and what kind of life she wanted to have – instead of the life others expected of her. But she didn't know how to do this without guilt. Sound eerily familiar NAME? Alyssa signed up for Fertility Mind-Body Mastery in January 2021. And learned how to do it, without guilt. This doesn't mean it was easy per se. (if it was, she would've already been doing it.) But the coaching and the program gave her the roadmap. Her journey was one of detoxing her productivity, validating her feelings of loss, and embracing her creativity with something as simple as painting. In this week's podcast, Alyssa shares her journey with you and what she learned inside of the program. As you listen, I want you to note how oh-so-UNCOMPLICATED her journey to conception was. It was a simple, artistic and feminine approach to her baby girl. It's refreshing. Eye-opening and I hope you soak up every last word.

I had a tough month. Bouts of anxiety and thoughts of fear were running the show. I have no shame around disclosing this because in life, this happens. Especially as a woman on her reproductive journey. A women's reproductive journey is a rollercoaster. From conception, to sometimes loss, to pregnancy, to birth, to motherhood. It's a motherfucking rollercoaster. What the movies depict is getting a positive pregnancy test and all of a sudden… she's pushing out the baby, is bull shit. There is SO MUCH in between. What my perfectionist brain showed me, which was a re-run of a movie trailer of a very pregnant me, running through a flower field - coupled with a flower crown of course - was bull shit. There was SO MUCH in between. And the so-much-in-between is NORMAL. What can occur on the journey and so many women share with me that they experience, are the paralyzing thoughts and feelings of anxiety. Uncertainty of the future. And discomfort in not knowing what's next on the fertility journey. So in this week's podcast, I'm sharing with you how I moved through my anxious month. It was life-changing to learn what I'm about to share with you. The gist? Anxiety is mainly a big fat liar. A liar that loves you and cares about you. Nonetheless, a liar liar pants on fire. Today's podcast: Let go of 3 lies anxiety tells you. Without awareness around these lies, anxiety will continue to run your life and your fertility journey. It will continue to be the driving force behind your actions. OR the alternative, is to listen to the podcast and find your way out. Listen now mama-bear.

After many moons trying to get pregnant, through many different avenues – my client Lynsey had a hard time believing in change. Thoughts like, "I've tried everything, now what?!" or "Am I even changeable?" made her feel helpless. And in this space of wtf-is-next… she realized she needed help. She couldn't do it on her own anymore. Although she had fears around investing in 'yet another fertility thing', she was ready for a different way. A way that would make her feel better NOW. Not just when she got pregnant. So she signed up for my 6-month group coaching program, Fertility Mind-Body Mastery. (A perfect example of how we can have fears, but don't have to listen.) I decided to interview Lynsey for the Fertile Ground podcast – because I want you to believe that YOU CAN CHANGE. And you will, after hearing her story. But it's not that anything is wrong with you… it's that you BELIEVE that something is wrong with you… and this is what needs to burned to the MF ground. In this week's podcast, you're gonna learn how Lynsey: Moved past just "logically getting this work" – into actually EMBODYING and APPLYING it into her life. Overcame the resistance she had around spending money on yet another fertility thing (and ended her time in FMBM saying that she would spend her whole life's savings on this shit) How to finalllllllyyyyy be yourself again — and even have your partner recognize it. How the fertility journey can actually create MORE intimacy between you and your partner. Found her worth and fell in love with her life. Listen now. You do NOT want to miss this one.

When I was going through IVF, there was on average 20ish women in the waiting room. It was like we were cattle, waiting to move through the sluggish line. The routine was always the same. Blood work, get undressed, ultrasound, get dressed, talk to the doctor/nurse. Leave. The environment bred this thought of, "My body feels like a machine that needs fixing.But when I would go home, I would nurture the fuck out of my body. I would sing to my body. I would hang out in long cuddles with my husband. I would feed it nurturing soups.I would caress it in the bath, telling it how proud I was of it and everything it's been through. This is what's missing in the fertility world. We get caught up in the physical, the numbers, the odds of success… and forget that our bodies are a living, breathing thing. Your body need to be reassured of its miracle status. Reassured that you'll love it no matter what ends up happening. Reassured that it's #1 side kick… YOU… have its back no matter what. So in today's podcast, you're gonna learn: How to love, heal and trust your body (and even its symptoms). Click here to listen now!

On November 26th, we are opening up applications to join the January 2022 class. I want to give you a behind the scenes look at what it's REALLY like to 1. Create a Fertile AF mindset inside of this program 2. To be on the fertility journey with a group of amazing women alongside it with you, instead of all by yourself and 3. How to be kind to yourself and your body, instead of always wondering what's wrong with you. The women I'm interviewing are all at different stages of the journey. Some are of course pregnant, and some are still on the journey — but they are ALL thriving in their lives. What I see as success in FMBM is not just pregnancy. Success shows up in MANY ways inside of this program, which you will soon learn.

Can you remember a time in your life when you felt like things were really starting to work out – after a time of struggle and trying to "prove" yourself? Maybe it was at a point in your career. Things just started to feel right. Finally. Or meeting your partner. It felt like things were finally clicking. You could relax now. It's like nothing could stop the momentum that was building.

Thisssss is what momentum feels like towards your baby.️ My clients describe this momentum as: Feeling so right. Magical. Completely unattached to the timeline and outcome.

So in today's podcast, we're chatting about How to Build Momentum to BABY! You're gonna learn: The 3 things that stops momentum. The 3 things that BUILD momentum. How to trust it. Without sensing momentums presence, it's like it's not even happening. When you sense it and acknowledge it, you only make it stronger! Let's build some beautiful momentum towards your baby mama-bear…LISTEN NOW!

Are you trying your best to create a fertility mindset – but still feel totally controlled by your moods and the ups and downs of your fertility journey? Do you wish you could get a grasp on your thoughts – but you can't seem to make the doubt and fear quiet down, even just a tiny bit? Do you feel like you're confused about how to still feel your feelings – but try to "think positive" too? I was confused too. In today's brand-new podcast, we're clearing up 5 Fertility Mindset Misconceptions. We're covering these 5 misconceptions: Isn't fertility a physical problem? Isn't mindset work just spiritual bypassing the reality? Mindset work isn't tangible. I have a hard time doing it because of this. It's too hard to change my beliefs around my fertility, after everything I've been through. If I do fertility mindset work, then aren't I admitting that it's my fault it hasn't happened yet? These are all valid questions and are worthy of thought-out answers that you'll find inside right here. In order to create change within our minds and bodies, we have to sit with the resistance to creating a fertility mindset in the first place…. BEFORE we can be with the solution the lies within. You're not gonna want to miss this one. It's not a podcast preaching for you to DO BETTER. In fact, it's the OPPOSITE of all that not-enough-yet NONSENSE. You will finish this podcast with a new-found hope for both a baby-filled future, and a sincerly loving relationship with yourself (exactly as you are, right now, at this very moment). Listen now!
