What if joy isn’t a distraction from your fertility journey — but a missing piece of it?

When you’re trying to conceive and nothing’s working, joy can feel like the first thing to go.

You stop saying yes to plans.

You put off holidays, hair dye, cocktails, fun.

You tell yourself you’ll relax after the positive test.

But what if waiting to enjoy your life is what’s keeping you stuck in survival mode?

In this powerful and liberating episode, I gives you full permission to reclaim joy, without guilt and without giving up.

I dive into:
 ✨ Why joy often feels like a betrayal when you're TTC, and why it’s not
 ✨ How infertility turns life into a constant “pause” button and how to press play again
 ✨ The nervous system science behind joy and hormone regulation
 ✨ 3 practical ways to reconnect with joy today (even when life feels heavy)
 ✨ How to build joy into your fertility strategy without fear it will sabotage your hope

Whether you've forgotten what fun feels like, or you’re scared that happiness might send the wrong message to the universe, this episode will lovingly dismantle those beliefs.

💬 Truth bomb from the episode:
There’s no prize for being the most miserable woman trying to conceive.
Joy is not indulgent. Joy is intelligent. Joy is part of your healing.

Why does someone else’s pregnancy announcement make you want to cry… and then feel guilty for crying?

 You're not alone and you’re definitely not broken.

In this honest, intimate episode, I shine a light on the comparison spiral that hits so many women during infertility, the kind no one talks about because it feels shameful, petty, or too much.

From Instagram baby bumps to WhatsApp announcements to chance supermarket run-ins, the emotional triggers can feel relentless, especially when you're navigating fertility struggles, grief, and hope all at once.

You’ll learn:

🔹 Why infertility comparison is a nervous system response, not a personal failure
🔹 How grief disguises itself as jealousy or irritation (and what to do about it)
🔹 Why protecting your peace doesn’t make you a bad friend — it makes you wise
🔹 How to stop spiralling and start anchoring into your own path
🔹 A powerful reframe that transforms comparison into clarity and compassion

I also share a raw story about my own journey, including what people didn’t see when I announced my pregnancy after 10 years of trying, and why no one’s story is ever as simple as it looks from the outside.

Whether you’ve found yourself hating a friend’s baby shower, rage-tapping out of another fertility forum, or quietly wondering “What’s wrong with me?”  - this episode will help you breathe again.

💬 Reminder:
You are not a bad person for struggling with comparison.
You are a human being in pain, and you deserve space for that truth too.

Ever stood in a supermarket aisle debating between oat milk and almond milk… and somehow it feels like the fate of your entire fertility journey hangs in the balance?

You're not alone.

This episode is for every woman who’s ever spiralled over sushi, supplements, prenatal timing, or whether that one Pilates class was “too intense.”

Because when you're trying to get pregnant, every decision can start to feel like life or death — even when you know it’s not.

 And that kind of mental pressure? It's exhausting. And more common than you think.

In this episode, I break down:

• Why TTC turns everyday choices into emotional landmines
• The hidden fear driving perfectionism and overthinking
• A real story of when I cried from hunger because I was scared to eat a "non-approved" food
• The difference between a decision and a story, and how your brain tricks you
• How to shift from “perfect choices” to kind, grounded ones
• Four powerful mindset reframes to reclaim your peace and self-trust

This isn’t an episode about “choosing better.”

 It’s about loosening the grip of fear, calming your nervous system, and learning to trust yourself again, even in the chaos of uncertainty.

Toxic positivity? Yeah… we’re done with that.

In this episode, we’re breaking the very loud myth that says “you have to stay positive to get pregnant.”

Because here’s the truth:

You don’t. 

You just have to be real.

This isn’t a sugar-coated episode, it’s a full-body permission slip to stop forcing a smile and start honouring what’s actually going on inside you.

Because grief, fear, rage, and even numbness aren’t the problem, suppressing them is.

In this episode, we dive into:

• Why forced positivity creates more stress, not less
•  How emotional honesty and “positive anger” are actually healing
•  The truth about nervous system regulation vs. emotional suppression
•  What hope really looks like when it isn’t weaponised
•  How my clients beat the odds, without gaslighting themselves into calm

You'll also hear personal stories from my journey, why gratitude sometimes becomes a weapon, and what actually helps you feel better, without pretending you're fine when you're not.

Real talk takeaway:
You don’t have to earn your baby with your mindset.
You don’t have to be perfect.
You don’t have to be positive.
You just have to be human.

There’s grief you plan for. And then there’s the grief that catches you off guard in a pharmacy aisle staring at baby socks.

 This episode is about that second kind.

Today, I’m naming something most people on the fertility journey aren’t warned about:

The invisible, cumulative grief of infertility.

Not just the grief of pregnancy loss, but the grief of time, of identity, of friendships that change, and of the version of life you thought you’d have by now.

We talk about:

• Why infertility is grief without a grave
• How loss shows up in ordinary moments (and why it hits so hard)
• The difference between sadness and emotional chaos
• Four major types of grief I see in my clients
• Why your reactions make sense, even if no one else seems to get it
• How to hold grief and hope at the same time

This is a raw, validating episode for anyone who’s been blindsided by emotions they couldn’t name, and thought, “What is wrong with me?”

There’s nothing wrong with you. You’re grieving.
 And that means you’re still showing up. Still hoping. Still here.

Often I hear that people just want to feel like themselves again going through infertility struggles.

They have literally turned into people they no longer recognise and are miserable all the time. So it makes sense they would look back to the past to the last known point where they felt okay and yearn to have that back.

The trouble is, looking back never has the answers we need.

Today I want to walk you through how to move forward and incorporate all you have been through to date, rather than yearning for an old self that we can never again be.
