On this episode, I’m joined by leading health psychologist and author of It's All in Your Body: A Practical Roadmap to Healing, Dr Sula Windgassen, to talk all things mind–body connection and what it means for your fertility journey.

Dr. Sula shares her personal experience of living with chronic, debilitating bladder symptoms that left her feeling dismissed by the medical profession.

When traditional medical routes didn’t provide answers, it was as a last resort she began exploring mindfulness thanks to her Dad's suggestion; she finally found relief and this led to a her research and vocation as a health pyschologist.

This is a MUCH needed voice in the mind-body space...

We talk about:

  • What the mind–body connection actually means (and what it doesn’t)
  • The difference between stressors, stress reactions, and your response
  • Reframing your relationship with your body during infertility
  • Letting go of self-blame
  • How mindfulness can change your relationship with symptoms and uncertainty

    • If you found this helpful please leave a review! It takes 30 seconds and means a lot. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LISTENING!
