Hello, beautiful—the voice of Monica is here to shake up your fertility mindset once again. If you’re still on the never-ending hamster wheel of “doing all the things” but still feel like you’re getting nowhere, buckle up because today’s episode is your reality check. We’re talking about something that might make your Type A tendencies twitch—slowing down. Yep, the thing that feels impossible but is actually the secret sauce to unlocking your fertility and overall well-being.
Rebecca Rankin is back, and we’re diving deep into why ignoring your body’s signals, overriding your natural rhythms, and stuffing your schedule with all the “fertility must-dos” is actually working against you. We’re talking about real radical honesty—the kind that makes you question your midnight Googling sessions and your obsession with finding the next best supplement. Spoiler alert: the answer isn’t out there. It’s in you. Always has been.
We also get into the not-so-sexy but oh-so-important truth about consistency, how your hormones affect EVERYTHING (yes, even that sudden urge to question your entire existence while doing the dishes), and why menopause might actually be your power era instead of something to dread. Plus, we tackle the biggest lie in the fertility world: the idea that once you “fix” your health, life will be smooth sailing forever. Newsflash—it’s a lifelong journey, but one you actually have control over.
So, if you’re ready to ditch the frantic energy and actually start aligning with your body’s wisdom, this episode is for you. Let’s go.
"Slowing down enough to listen to yourself is the most radical act of self-care you can do."
