  • Episode 50 - How to manifest your baby

    I know our culture suggests that if we want more – and you want to make a baby - you have to *do* more. And gosh, it's so easy to get caught here. Even in something as magical as manifestation – we try to "achieve" by doing/pushing/forcing more and trying everything to make the manifestation happen. But manifesting is a whole other way of creating your baby. One that creates better results, without the exhaustion that comes from unnecessary over-efforting. Conscious manifestation leaves you feeling fulfilled and comforted on the journey towards that sweet babe – with mind-body techniques that doubles you chances of success. So in this weeks podcast, I'm gonna show you: How to manifest your baby. Manifestation is not woo woo. It's science. It's a fascinating process that is vital to review, in order to start believing in another refreshing, supportive and comforting way to create your baby. You deserve this comfort. Take a listen here mama-bear.

  • Episode 49 - How to reach success on the fertility journey.

    If I asked you what it is to be successful on the fertility journey, you'd say it was to get pregnant. Seems obvious. But if you believe the thought that success = pregnancy, then how do you feel at the end of the month if it doesn't happen? You feel like a great. big. failure. Which gives you even more of a reason to stress out, believe that somethings wrong with you, and keep up with the story that it's just out of reach for you. And choosing to believe this thought "success = pregnancy" that perpetuates your fertility story (that most likely makes you feel like shit) is a choice. Part of my job as a Life Coach is spotting these -- what may seem like valid *limiting* beliefs -- so that you can break the cycle of distrust in your body and the process, and cultivate a mindset that supports your body and dream of getting pregnant. Because your mind is what signals to your body that it's safe to create a human. So how do you switch this thought and get outta this vicious cycle (that you may not have even known you were in)? What alternative is there to believing that "success = pregnancy"? Because when you're in it, it's hard to see it another way. What I want you to hear loud and clear, is that your success isn't dependent on what happens outside of you. In this week's podcast, you'll learn: What you need to do to feel and be successful on the journey. How our culture does a great job at making you feel like a failure (and how to take your power back). Why your mindset is 100% tied the level of success you'll achieve in your life. Listen now!

  • Episode 48 - Guilt

    It has been almost a year since I got pregnant. And so, I've been reflecting on that time in my life. Getting a little nostalgic about it! And it was the FIRST time in a very long fertility journey, that I learned how to let go of guilt. Letting go of guilt was like letting go of a 400 lb weight on my back, and I believe it contributed greatly to my happiness and getting pregnant. For a long time, I felt chronic #ttc guilt. Guilt over every little thing I ate, did, didn't do the day before. I felt guilty for my "negative" thoughts and hell, I even felt guilty for feeling guilty! SO, it's about time you let that shit go, no? Guilt – BE GONE! Imma show you how it's done in this week's brand-new podcast!!! In this week's podcast, you're gonna learn: Why guilt isn't what you think it is. How guilt affects the physical body. Simple solutions to letting guilt go – FOR GOOD! Listen now mama-bear!

  • Episode 47 - Think less

    Some days you can't shut that brain off…Fears about your age. "If it doesn't happen this year, then what?" The diagnosis. "I better ask Dr. google what my chances are now." The mystery. "If everything is fine – why hasn't it happened yet?" And this is just the beginning. These thoughts lead to new, sometimes even scarier thoughts. Next thing ya know, you've entered a rabbit hole of uncertainty, frustration and WTF world. Your brain hurts, your body is numb, and you're right back to where you started. So. Much. THINKING. I was in this spot a couple of weeks ago. Engulfed and addicted to thinking. And as much as a tried to think "more right" and change my thoughts – I couldn't. This is what I like to call a monkey mind lock-down. You don't even know you're in it. You ARE it. You believe the solution is found in thinking more – even tho all this fucking thinking is what put you in this lock-down in the first place. So how do you over-come a monkey mind lock-down? By listening to this week's brand new podcast and learning: How to think less. You're gonna learn: Why thinking is the #1 addiction our culture is faced with. How much of your thinking actually helps? Practical and easy tools to think less and increase your mind-body-fertility connection. Listen now mama-bear!

  • Episode 46 - All or nothing thinking

    When you've been TTC for a while, a *perfect* lifestyle coupled with *perfect* thinking, is subliminally, yet absolutely encouraged by many experts in the fertility field. Believing that perfection is the only way to conception, can very obviously lead to you being incredibly hard on yourself, when the human side of you still exists in this lifetime (shocking…I know). And one easier-to-notice hint that you've been picked up by the perfectionist train, is all or nothing thinking. It's believing that if you didn't react/think/eat/drink/fuck/exercise/yada-yada-yada PERFECTLY – then you failed. But the truth and the feeling of failure is only ever really true, in your head. And the relieving feelings of progress, momentum and belief are also what begins to first come alive, in your head. Which one do you want taking up precious real estate in your head? So in this weeks podcast, you're gonna become aware of: All or Nothing Thinking. Listen now!

  • Episode 45 - How to make uncertainty your ally to conceiving your baby.

    Would you pay good money to watch a new, hot movie in the theatre – but watch it from the end to beginning? That'd be a waste of your hard-earned cash and a super boring/confusing date night. Yet, when it comes to your fertility – yearning to know how its gonna turn out is a daily worry that leaves you feeling unnecessarily out of control. I've had many women say to me, "I can wait Spenser. I just want to know IF it will happen. THEN I'll relax. I'll admit that the uncertainty was easily the most frustrating part of the journey for me personally. But when I look back, learning how to embrace uncertainty and the uncomfortable feelings of "not knowing" – was actually a vital skill that 1. opened me up to conceiving and 2. showed me how to let go and enjoy the process (without feeling obsessed about TTC). Because, believe it or not, uncertainty is not the enemy and can even be an ally to conceiving your baby. In this week's podcast, you'll learn: What the invitation of uncertainty is really asking of you and how to apply it to your daily life. How to stop worrying about "when" and starting focusing on the now, to increase your mind-body-fertility connection. And why uncertainty offers you the most highly respected and rewarding life skills out there. Listen now mama-bear.

Well… Check out 2020's FIRST Fertile Ground Podcast here to get really clear on this question: How to know if you're making the right decisions on the journey to your baby. It's about time you see and realize that there actually is someone who has all the answers. But you gotta listen to the podcast to find out.

  • Episode 42 - Guided Meditations + More Fertile in 15

    I'm not gonna be a broken record right now and tell you how "meditation is so good for fertility." Thanks tips. Am I right? You've heard it 1479 times before. Maybe you've heard it so much that you feel like if you're not doing it, you're a bad person. At least that's how I used to feel… I knew that it was good for me. Yet, my monkey mind had so much resistance to doing it. It would say that meditation is boring AF. But at the SAME time, I also knew how important it was (is) for me to feel connected – and if I stayed consistent – not like every-single-day consistent, but most-days consistent - meditation always left me feeling plugged into the Universe. So I developed a simple, easy, and believe it or not, PLEASURABLE practice that I know contributed greatly to the conception of my baby. Check out this weeks brand new podcast to learn: How to overcome any monkey mind objections you have to meditation and visualization so that you can stay consistent with your practice and start to see real-life results. WHY they work so effectively ad HOW they strengthen your mind-body-fertility connection. How to sign up for my brand new product: More Fertile in 15 – 15-minute guided meditations that'll leave you more fertile, happier and actually works. Listen now, gorgeous!

  • Episode 41 - My very personal story to conception

    After years of navigating the fertility journey, I'm thrilled to announce that I'm pregnant. On the road to this life growing and thriving inside of me, I can say without a doubt that there was purpose in my wait. And that purpose was serving you. Which has brought me more joy than I knew possible and has revealed my very best self. I can confidently say that the fertility journey is the best thing that's ever happened to me – and this isn't just hindsight. If you've been following me for a while, you know that I've been saying this and believing it for years before it happened. When life gave me lemons, I made the best fucking tasting lemonade out there. And my life's mission is to show you how to do the same. I share my raw, uncensored fertility journey in this week's podcast. (Some stuff, even the closest people to me don't know about.) I really do think I owe my story to you and I KNOW that it will fill you with hope that your baby will be here soon 💕
