Quiet Power: What Fertility Advocacy Really Looks Like (Even When You're Not Loud)
When you hear the word advocacy, you might picture protests, petitions, and bold public speaking. But what if advocacy also looks like whispering, pausing, and saying “I’m not ready yet”? In this soul-nourishing episode, Dr. Maya offers a fresh take on what it really means to advocate for yourself on your fertility journey—especially as a Black woman or woman of color navigating a system that too often fails to listen.
This episode is a gentle invitation to reimagine advocacy in your own voice and at your own pace. Whether you’re asking a follow-up question in your OB’s office or choosing rest over another round of labs, it all counts.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why April is a powerful month for reproductive health awareness
- A real story about a client who thought she was “doing too much”—and how Dr. Maya helped her reframe that as fierce advocacy
- Three truths about what advocacy really looks like (Hint: It’s not always loud)
- How to advocate for yourself without guilt, apology, or needing a “strong” personality
- Simple steps to practice advocating for your fertility health today
💬 Listener Takeaway:
You don’t need a protest sign to reclaim your voice. You just need to believe that your experience matters—and that you're worthy of being heard, even if your voice shakes.
🌿 Special Note from Dr. Maya:
I’m currently in a season of alignment and recalibration—so while my coaching offers are temporarily paused, this podcast remains your safe space to feel seen, empowered, and cared for. Stay tuned for what’s next—I’m building something even more soul-aligned for you.
