Laura has two children via IVF. So what makes her story so interesting you might ask? I’m glad you did. Laura’s first child, Owen, is biologically her and her husband’s child. Her second child, Julian, is biologically her husband's, but not her’s. 

That’s right. Laura made the challenging decision to use an egg donor for her second child after having a biological child. I brought Laura on to the podcast because I know this is such a tough decision for so many women and families.

Oftentimes, there are fears like:

• Will I love this child as much as my biological child?
• How do I choose an egg donor? 
• Will people know that the child isn’t biologically mine? 

It’s enough to make your head spin. 

Join us for this week’s episode of the FU Project Podcast as Laura shares her experience of using an egg donor after having a biological baby. 

You’ll Learn How:

• Laura navigated the challenging decision, 
• To maintain control thru uncontrollable circumstances,
• She and her husband made the difficult decision of deciding which egg donor to use,
• The beauty of gratitude, 
• And much more!

“You get to carry this child and you will love this child.”

Meet Divya.

Divya was on her fertility journey, had already been to two different clinics and had multiple failed transfers. She was experiencing fertility journey fatigue and doubting whether or not IVF was going to work for her. Divya recognized it was going to be hard to move forward on her journey and be successful if she stayed stuck in that negative, self-doubt loop.

Join us this week for another inspiring Path to Parenthood interview! Listen to how Divya shifted her mindset and manifested her beautiful twin girls (twins girls she wrote about in a journal YEARS ago!).

5 Years, 2 clinics, and 9 frozen embryo transfers later Divya has finally created her dream family.

What You’ll Learn:

• How fertility journey fatigue can affect your journey,
• The importance of having a supportive team,
• The magic that happens when you shift your mindset,
• and much more! (PS - Baby girl #2 is healthy and growing!)

"...You start to notice the changes and shift on your own. You realize "Wow, I can do this."

-Divya

Have you ever wondered why animals, after constantly fighting to stay alive, are never traumatized? The whole animal kingdom would not be what it is today if this were the case. Like, Tom & Jerry would have been a completely different show. So why is it that animals never seem to internalize their trauma, but we humans do?

Animals, after tapping into that sympathetic nervous system and initiating the fight or flight response, make their way to a safe place and discharge all of that energy that was needed to get them to safety. Turns out, we humans also have this same capacity to discharge all of that generated energy after experiencing trauma. The only difference is either we haven’t figured out a way to release said energy or our bodies still detect a threat. 

You’re probably like “Okay, great…then what do I do now?”

Enter Somatic Experiencing.

In this week's episode of The FU Project podcast, I interview Rachel Cole, a licensed Somatic Experiencing practitioner, and clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience. Tune in to find out everything you need to know about Somatic Experiencing and how to finally let go of trauma. 

“This is all for survival, so whatever our system chooses, it’s the best response because we are here to talk about it”

-Rachel Cole, LCSW

What You’ll Learn

• What somatic experiencing is 
• Symptoms of unreleased trauma in the body 
• About other therapies to heal emotional clutter
• And so much more!

Meet Ashley.

Before joining the FU Project, Ashley went through two failed IUIs and one unsuccessful IVF treatment. She felt stressed and bogged down by the constant search for, "Why can't I get pregnant?" Luckily, it only took a few failures before Ashley asked for help. 

Ashley learned that infertility is not just a scientific process but a culmination of science, mind, and body. She realized that although you can be physically healthy, the toll of constant research and the pressure of "I have to figure it out" all on your own was too much. Ashley finally found relief when she was able to let go of the reigns and seek guidance.

Please tune in for another inspiring story and find out how Ashley found peace on her IVF journey.

What You’ll Learn:

-Health is not just a physical state of being

-The importance of having a supportive team

-The transformative power of trust

-and much more!

“I didn’t feel like I was out there on my own just trying to figure this out.”

-Ashley

I often speak with women that are working so hard on their fertility journey to do everything perfectly. By the time they talk to me, they are exhausted, confused, and at a loss for what do to next. If they're doing everything that they're supposed to do, why isn't it working?

IVF doesn't have to feel like jail. You can enjoy life and still work towards creating the family of your dreams. In fact, when you shift your focus from being and doing everything perfectly to doing the things you enjoy and that feel right for your body that's when the magic starts to happen.

Caffeine, alcohol, nutrition, exercise, and acupuncture are topics I am asked about daily. So I figured, why not answer your questions in a podcast episode!

What You’ll Learn

• What you should and shouldn't eliminate,
• Is Acupuncture right for everyone,
• Should you skip the coffee and wine, and
• much, much, more!

“Eat the fucking cake, okay. And then eat it the next day .”

Meet Kelli

Kelli is not our typical Path to Parenthood story. Kelli had her first child through IVF after two rounds. When she and her husband decided to continue growing their family, they knew they would need IVF support again. She had already discovered Tasha through Facebook and was a regular podcast listener. Kelli told herself that if the first transfer wasn't successful, she would hire the FU Project Workshop to support her.

Tune in this week and hear how Kelli has completely transformed. Kelli is not pregnant (yet) but would, hands down, work with Tasha and the FU Project Workshop even if she wasn't trying to get pregnant. The knowledge and tools she has learned have truly helped her transform her life and mindset.

Join me this week for another inspiring story and find out where Kelli is today.

What You’ll Learn

• The power of making simple changes,
• The importance of having enough space and energy,
• The power of having to team of experts to support you,
• And much more!

"I would work with her (Tasha) even if I wasn't trying to get pregnant because I feel so much better than I did before."

- Kelli

Meet Jessica.

Jessica and her husband thought IVF was the answer to their unexplained infertility woes. A doctor would take her eggs, combine them with his sperm, and POOF - a baby. They expected IVF to work on the first round (hint, it took 4 more rounds).

When Jessica found the FU Project Workshop, she was still skeptical about bringing in an additional team to help her and her husband on their fertility journey. In fact, she and her husband were the only two people that knew they were going through IVF for the first 2 rounds of treatment. It was an incredibly foreign concept to bring in additional support to assist them. After all, why would anyone need more assistance outside of the doctors and embryologists they are already working with? They’re the experts, aren’t they? 

Join me this week for another inspiring story and find out where Jessica and her husband are today on their fertility journey.

What You’ll Learn

• IVF takes more than someone combining an egg and a sperm to make a baby,
• The value of having the right support on this journey,
• Jessica's incredible mindset shifts that have made her a better wife, mother, and in her career,
• And much more!

“I didn’t know what I didn’t know.” 

- Jessica

At the ripe age of 33, I would have laughed at anyone that tried to tell me that it would take more than two rounds to have my family. After all, fertility wasn't my problem. My husband was the one with a low sperm count. Boy, was I wrong? IVF can be so overwhelming. Yes, it's science, and it exists to help you grow your family. However, there is a misconception that because science is involved, the probability of error is low.

Join me on the FU Project Podcast this week to learn about my HUGE IVF mistake (by the way, it's a big one) and the lessons I learned from it.

What You’ll Learn

• My HUGE IVF Mistake
• How to find humor in the journey
• That little changes can have surprising results
• Nothing needs to be perfect
• And much more!

“Nothing needs to be perfect. There are gifts in everything.”

- Tasha

Meet Mari.

When we met, Mari was sad and angry. Mari and her husband had been trying for a year to conceive, but hadn't had any success. At that point they decided it was best to have some tests done. Doctors diagnosed Mari with unexplained infertility and recommended IVF, but Mari and her husband weren't ready.

Instead they continued to try naturally, followed by a couple of failed IUIs. They did eventually get pregnant, but the pregnancy ended in miscarriage. At that point they knew they wanted help and support as they embarked on their IVF journey.

Join me this week for another inspiring story and learn how Mari and her husband found the help and support they needed to create the family of their dreams.

What You’ll Learn

• Why prioritizing your health and mindset are so important,
• The value of having support on your fertility journey,
• How you can go from being sad and angry to being fully in love with life,
• What it's like to have a baby during a pandemic,
• And much more!

"It's making sure I prioritize my health and my mindset, I know how important and how essential that is..."

- Mari

HAPPY NATIONAL INFERTILITY AWARENESS WEEK!!

1 in 8 couples face fertility issues. That's why National Infertility Awareness Week (NIAW) and the work RESOLVE does is so important.

As anyone that listens to this podcast knows, it took me 10 rounds of IVF to have my two very expensive children. If you're on a fertility journey, you know how challenging this journey can be.

When you first enter the world of the fertility challenged it's hard to know where to start.

Start with RESOLVE. They have an abundance of resources on infertility, insurance coverage, getting insurance coverage, making infertility affordable and understanding your options.

RESOLVE is working to make the struggle of infertility a talked about issue. Every year I travel to Washington D.C. with RESOLVE to advocate for women and families that are struggling with fertility issues.

Join me this week for another inspiring episode.

What You’ll Learn

• About National Infertility (or Fertility Challenged) Awareness Week,
• What is RESOLVE and why you should care,
• Hear inspiring advice to keep you going on your fertility journey,
• And much more!

"Never stop advocating for yourself"

-Erin
