As women, our hormonal cycle is a big part of who we are, yet very few women understand how their bodies actually work, what is normal and what isn’t. Anna aims to close the knowledge gap talking specifically about how your cycle works and how each step contributes to fertility and the ability to conceive. She shares what can go wrong and actions you can take to rebalance your body, whether your goal is pre conceptual care, optimising fertility or looking after yourself alongside fertility treatment. Ché shares her experience of conscious conception from a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual perspective.

Ché shares about a recent interaction on social media where she publicly questioned a pregnancy workout account on the messaging they have been putting online to other pregnant people. We talk about what happened in that exchange, overly identifying with your “doing” or business, finding self-worth from an internal place and how we can align ourselves (and therefore our investments) with the change we want to see in the world.

Today Anna and Ché chat about control. What is ours to control and what is not and how can we find the difference between the two? Ché explores this through the lens of birth and pregnancy whilst Anna explores this through her adventures in healing. We explore how controlling behaviours can be a mask for underlying anxiety and how our emotional state is a very good indicator of when things are spinning out... or rather when we are trying to control those things which are not ours to control. Ultimately our ability to let go of control comes down to our ability to trust and surrender. Tune in for a juicy conversation.
