  • Infertility Burnout - How To Overcome It, Part 2 of 3 (EP 17)

    Part 2 is here! Tune into today’s episode to dig deeper into navigating infertility burnout. When truly coming down and back to yourself, you’ve set yourself up back into the drivers seat of your fertility journey. You’ve reclaimed power as the resilient and determined woman that you have always been and just lost track for a bit. So now what? 


    We ruthlessly prioritize! Find all the missing gaps. Identify and research your options on your terms and really get in tune with yourself to guide you on making decisions that feel more aligned than ever. But keeping our goals small and achievable to avoid future burnout.


    9:23 - I reference a coffee chat and I wanted to get the number correct! My friend, Rosie, confirmed it takes FIVE years to recover from burnout.


    And then tune into part 3 on how to keep that going!

  • Infertility Burnout - How to Overcome It, Part 1 of 3 (EP 16)

    In today’s episode, we kick off Part 1 of 3 of my Infertility Burnout - How to Overcome It.


    To start, we cover the ways to identify burnout from infertility and the first steps to overcoming it which involve the 3 R’s I’m always talking about:


    • Rest: Take the much needed break from infertility’s viscous cycle
    • Recover: Integrate self-care into your day to day and take the much needed time to focus on healing
    • Reconnect: Come back to yourself and work on tapping back into what makes you feel like you again including getting your relationship back on track with your partner.

    • This is just the start. There is hope even in the times that you don’t feel it is possible.


      Start here and tune into next week where we go into how we navigate being back in the drivers seat after coming back home to yourself.


      I’ve got your back and but most importantly, I’m all about helping you get back to trusting yourself again.

    • Infertility's Impact on Men's Mental Health & Your Relationship, Father's Day Edition (EP 15)

      If you're still struggling to get past the pain, grief, sadness, anger that flared up again with Father's Day just this past weekend, then I got you. I share how to reframe things for both you and your husband during this time to cope and get through this TOGETHER.


      Men's mental health is hardly ever considered when going through infertility because infertility is still stigmatized as a women's issue.


      I share a bit how my husband felt having dealt with male factor infertility, how the weight of fertility treatments took a toll on our relationship and the relief we felt once we were able to get back onto common ground.


      I'm hoping this brings more awareness couples that may be struggling to get back in alignment with their partners on family planning goals and how to work with each other when the stakes AND emotions are running high.


      If you'd like support in figuring out how to manage tricky conversations so that you can be back to the power couple that you are and finally get the ball rolling on your journey to parenthood, reach out!
