In today's episode, I have an in-depth conversation with Dr. Tracy Malone who is a naturopathic fertility Dr. who specializes in preconception healthcare. She is also the Director of Nutraceuticals at Bird & Be. We talk a lot about being well informed as a woman who wants to conceive someday as well as how stress affects fertility and what we can do to minimize our stress. We learn a lot about what Bird & Be has to offer which includes at home fertility testing for both women & men which is just so cool. They are personalize your supplement treatment through a short quiz you can take.

You are not alone. It may feel that way because maybe you are the only one in your inner circle who is in the same stage of someday motherhood as you. Maybe you're the only left single and praying for that future family. Maybe you're the only one waiting to have kids and everyone around is pregnant or a new mom. Maybe you're like me and you're the only one TTC right now and in your TWW (don't know those acronyms - go listen to the episode from April 25 where I explain them all). 

Trust me you are not the only one. There are people you can connect with. And the people who are in your life who aren't going through the same thing want to love on you and support you but may not know how so tell them how they can support you best. 

Even in the hardest of time, you are not alone friend. I encourage you to be vulnerable this week and share what you are going through with your inner circle AND go find that cycle buddy who is going through the same thing as you. They are out there waiting for you.

And with all that said, my inbox is always open and I'm currently searching for my TWW buddy. Is that you?

It can be so easy to 100% focus on our end goal of becoming a mom and having a baby in our arms. But that only brings anxiety and unfortunately disappointment month after month when that goal is not achieved in the timing we want. In today's episode, I give you some great apps that help me to breathe and be present in my days so I'm not so focused on that end goal.

Today's episode is a short that hopefully encourages you to be excited and joyful and happy and more importantly hopeful in whatever season of Someday Motherhood you are in. Too often, society tells us that we should live in fear and worry and I just don't believe that is true. We need to live in hope, faith and trust and show our excitement, joy and happiness even through the hard - actually especially through the hard so we can inspire and influence others to do the same.

I wanted to dive into our faith today. I have thought and said to many people recently that I don't know how I would have gotten through my miscarriage without my faith, without the Word, without trusting that God is good and He promises He will bring good to those who believe. Trusting Him has helped me through so many hardships over the last 7 years and it continues to help me through this hard season too.

In today's episode, I talk a bit more about faith and then give you a few scripture verses for us to meditate on throughout this season of waiting to become a mom someday.

Here are more verses as well.

On today's episode, I interview Sophia, @ttc.nutritionist, who is a Fertility Nutrition Expert that I met and learned so much from on instagram. We have an in depth conversation about changing our nutrition mindset from eating (and honestly moving too) to be skinny or strong or fast to focusing on building a fertile body. 

Sophia gives some great information on what we can start doing now to prepare our bodies to be their healthiest when it's time for conception and fertility.

A healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby start BEFORE pregnancy and honestly before conception. Your physical, mental and emotional health are essential for increasing your chances of conception and a healthy pregnancy. Preconception health means taking control and choosing healthy habits. It means living well, being healthy, and feeling good about your life.

In today's episode, we begin a conversation about the preconception period and in the coming episodes I will be bringing on guests to help us dive into what we should be focusing on from nutrition to our cycle to stress and more.

This is a very vulnerable episode. Thank you for being on this journey to motherhood with me. 
1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage if you are under 40 years old 
and the statistic is 1 in 3 if you are over 40. It's a pretty sad statistic.

I forgot to share in the episode as I was emotional and trying to share as much as I could. The hardest part of miscarriage is not knowing why. We have no idea why it happened but it's likely because it happened so early that it was an chromosomal abnormality which means that either the egg or the sperm or the combo had missing or extra chromosomes so my body did what it needed to do and didn't bring that baby into this world.
