What if preparing for pregnancy isn't just about getting a positive test, but about building a foundation that supports us through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, too?
In this episode, we share four habits we prioritized while trying to conceive that still support us at 38 weeks pregnant. We explore why the habits we build before pregnancy can carry into the next season of motherhood, helping us feel more prepared to nourish ourselves, navigate changing demands, and care for our bodies when life gets unpredictable.
In this episode, we explore:
Prioritizing protein
Balancing blood sugar
Supporting our circadian rhythm and nervous system
Building a foundation with minerals and hydration
We don't have to wait until we're pregnant or holding a newborn to start building habits that support our well-being. The routines we establish while trying to conceive can become a foundation we carry into motherhood.

What if a negative pregnancy test isn't the only way to measure progress on your fertility journey?
In this episode, we discuss why meaningful changes can happen long before you see those two lines and how learning to recognize those changes can help you better understand your body's response to the steps you're taking.
Through real client stories and coaching insights, we will explore the importance of looking beyond the pregnancy test to recognize patterns in your cycle, understand your fertile window, build sustainable nutrition and lifestyle habits, and track changes in how you feel. Will also discuss how to evaluate progress without getting caught up in doing everything perfectly or constantly wondering whether your fertility plan is working.
If you've been trying to conceive and feel like you're doing everything right but aren't sure if you're moving in the right direction, this episode will help you rethink what progress can look like and what your body may be telling you along the way.

If you’re hoping to have a baby in 2027, you might be thinking you have plenty of time to worry about fertility later.
You’ll start your prenatal. You’ll figure out ovulation. You’ll clean up your diet. You’ll get serious when you start TTC.
But what if waiting until you’re officially trying means missing one of your most valuable windows?
In this episode, we’re talking about why the months before TTC matter and why preparing for pregnancy doesn’t have to mean turning your life upside down or following a restrictive fertility protocol. We’ll talk about what you can start paying attention to now, how to think differently about your cycle and overall health, and what it can look like to enter TTC feeling prepared instead of scrambling to figure everything out. Because there’s a big difference between starting fertility prep and starting to try for a baby.
And if becoming a mom in 2027 is the goal, you may need to start preparing sooner than you think.

Your progesterone came back low. Now you’re wondering: How do I raise it? Maybe you’re considering Vitex, progesterone cream, supplements, or asking your doctor about progesterone. But what if “low progesterone” isn’t the whole problem? Low progesterone is a clue, not necessarily an explanation.
In this episode, we’ll talk about how I would actually approach low progesterone with a fertility client.
Is it actually low?
Does progesterone start with ovulation?
Why “just take something” isn’t always the answer.
What supporting progesterone really looks like.
Am I seeing a progesterone problem, or is progesterone pointing me toward a bigger cycle pattern? If your progesterone is low, don’t panic, but don’t stop at “How do I raise progesterone?” Ask why your progesterone isn’t rising, and let’s dive into the bigger why and how we can support our whole body this upcoming cycle.

If you’ve been trying for months, it's easy to explain away the little things and hope next month is different. But sometimes your cycle gives you clues worth paying attention to.
In this episode, we’re talking about six fertility patterns you shouldn’t ignore and how to start looking at your cycles as a whole instead of focusing on one symptom, one lab, or one month.
Do you actually know when your fertile window is?
Is your ovulation consistently late or unpredictable?
Is your luteal phase consistently short, or are you spotting for days?
Is your period unusually light, heavy, painful, or inconsistent?
Is PMS significantly affecting your daily life?
Are you doing “all the things,” but no one has looked at the whole picture?
Instead of asking, “Should I give it another month?” consider asking: “What patterns are repeating that I should be paying attention to?”

If you get your period every month, have a positive LH test, or use a fertility monitor that confirms ovulation, you probably assume ovulation is the one thing you don’t need to worry about. But confirming ovulation and understanding the quality of the entire ovulatory process aren't the same.
In this episode, we’ll look at what your LH strips, BBT, cycle length, cervical mucus, luteal phase, and period can (and can’t) tell you about your cycle.
We’ll talk about the signs that make me look closer, including:
Very little fertile cervical mucus
Consistently delayed ovulation
Short luteal phases
Premenstrual spotting
Very light or short periods
Significant cyclical symptoms
These don't automatically mean something is wrong. They’re simply pieces of a bigger picture.
We’ll also talk about what supports healthy ovulatory function, including adequate nutrition, stable blood sugar, sleep, recovery, movement, and managing your overall stress load.

When I was told I would likely never conceive naturally again, my fertility journey became centered around my diagnosis, labs, medications, procedures, and thoughts about IVF.
But what about everything happening between those appointments?
In this episode, we’re talking about why your diagnosis is only one piece of your fertility story and the everyday habits that may also play a role in supporting your body.
I’m sharing three things that became priorities for me:
Taking my circadian rhythm and sleep seriously
Stopping the cycle of blindly taking fertility supplements
Learning to understand and prioritize cervical mucus
These things didn’t replace medical care; they worked alongside it.
Because I don't believe every woman needs IVF, and I don't believe every woman can avoid IVF. But I do believe every woman deserves to understand what she can influence before assuming she’s out of options.
Your diagnosis is part of your story. It doesn't have to be the entire story.

What if the reason you're feeling stuck isn't that you need more fertility information but because your energy is going toward the wrong things?
In today's episode, I'm sharing one of the most surprising parts of my fertility journey. After being told I would likely never conceive naturally again, I actually got pregnant faster with Baby #2 than I did with Baby #1.
It wasn't because I found a miracle supplement or a secret fertility hack. It was because I stopped chasing every new recommendation and started consistently focusing on the foundations that truly support fertility.
If you've ever wondered whether you're doing enough or if your diagnosis means these foundational habits won't make a difference, this episode is for you.
In This Episode You'll Learn:
Why I got pregnant faster the second time after receiving a discouraging diagnosis
The biggest mistake many women make while trying to conceive
The difference between collecting fertility information and actually improving fertility
The five non-negotiable habits that transformed my fertility journey
Why consistency matters more than the latest fertility trend
How to focus your time and energy on what actually moves the needle
Why your diagnosis doesn't define your ability to improve your health

Have you ever caught yourself saying, "I'll just give it one more cycle" before making a change?
In this episode, we're having an honest conversation about one of the biggest mindset traps on the fertility journey. If you're only getting around 12 opportunities to ovulate each year, every cycle matters. The goal isn't to make your fertility journey consume your life; it's to make sure each cycle is teaching you something and moving you closer to pregnancy instead of repeating the same patterns.
If you've been wondering whether now is the time to invest in yourself, seek support, or finally stop guessing, this episode is for you.
In This Episode You'll Learn:
Why "I'll wait one more cycle" is one of the biggest reasons women stay stuck
The difference between trying another month and actually making progress
The two biggest fears that keep women from taking action
Why preparing for pregnancy doesn't require a complete life overhaul
The four habits women who make the biggest fertility progress consistently prioritize
How to stop guessing and start using each cycle as valuable information
Why personalized support will always outperform piecing together advice from social media
How to know if your next cycle is moving you closer to pregnancy or simply repeating the last one
