Considering IVF is not a light decision - mentally, emotionally or financially. But when you have been struggling to conceive for so long, it can sometimes feel like both a life-line and that you are somehow a failure.
And it can definitely feel like a scary unknown. But it doesn't have to be that way.
I have seen women both excited and terrified. So when considering IVF you really do need to set yourself up right.
Because when done right, IVF can also be a rather wonderful experience.
Today I wanted to highlight for you 5 things I would consider before starting IVF to know if it is the right timing and the right decision for you.
And to change the narrative on IVF being somehow less than or something to be afraid of.
If you are considering IVF - I'm thinking of you xx

It seems insane that actually unravelling our fears or dealing with our mindset can have anything to do with our fertility.
We have been taught for so long that the fertility journey is only a physical one.
Yet Dr Alice Domar through Harvard Medical School and beyond has researched the approach of a mind body programs on women suffering infertility and has consistently found that it can have profound effects on fertility outcomes.
Today I wanted to talk to you about why unravelling your fears has such a profound effect on the body.
Having fears on the fertility journey is normal, but sometimes deeper fears do keep us stuck and definitely affect our mental and emotional health.
So today I wanted to discuss why it can be beneficial to deal with your fears on many levels.

"I just need to think more positively," comes the inevitable reply when I ask a new client what they want to get out of fertility coaching.
It's not that thinking positively isn't a good thing or isn't where they will end up.
But how many times have you tried to 'just think positively' and you ended right back where you are now, feeling alone, miserable, traumatised and like you can't go on?
We get stuck in loops of trying to feel better and then falling right back to where we were before.
Because we don't know how, because we don't have the tools, because we have never been taught what goes into real change.
But also, we have never been taught what key ingredients will keep us on track to feeling better and feeling more positive within ourselves REGARDLESS of what goes on around us. REGARDLESS of having a bad day.
So today I reveal what you need to know so that you can stay on track and continue to feel better even if you get your period, hear a pregnancy announcement or have a failed cycle.
Enjoy xx

Fertility Trauma is a real thing. And sometimes you can find yourself stuck in an endless loop of wanting to feel better and not being able to get yourself out of it.
Maybe you are feeling really anxious, have huge fears, feel miserable or feel downright crazy!
I know I felt crazy at times.
Today on the podcast I talk about:
So if you are finding yourself in an endless loop of misery then take a listen.

I know your fertility ride so far has been bumpy and full of ups and downs. In fact, live through the last few years with Covid has been one upheaval after another and then you lump a fertility journey on top of that - it's all too much.
But it's a brand New Year, and with a New Year often comes a lot of hope, possibility and just some room to breath.
So I want to help you take advantage of those good feelings and propel you forward into this year so you can gain momentum.
I want to take a moment to really set you up for a good year not only for yourself, for your mental health, your emotional health and for your fertility as well.
So here are 5 easy steps and principles that you can take so you can continue to ride the wave to health on all fronts and not give up before the end of January - like most people do with their resolutions.
Enjoy xx

It's a brand new year, 2022, with a whole bunch of possibilities and opportunities!
And so this podcast is in two parts.
1. Don't Set New Years Goals -
Do you ever set New Years Resolutions and Goals? How many times have you actually achieved any of them?
I want to give you a more effective way to start your year instead that will enable you to get the wins you are looking for and will enable you to start to enjoy your life more in the process, that builds trust within yourself.
2. How The Past Can Affect Your Fertility - which I consider to be often the key to fertility challenges.
And I also wanted to address a key theme that I see come up time and time again with my clients about how their pasts can affect their fertility.
And it's got nothing to do with bad diets or being on the pill or waiting too long to start.
Tune in today so that you can focus your year in a way that is healthy for you and starts to bring in good things for you.

It's a problem for infertile couples that isn't going to go away any time soon.
Those pesky questions about your baby plans. When are you going to have them? When are you going to have more?
But for someone going through infertility, those questions can be a great source of pain and most of the time you don't want to lie but you don't know how to answer the question and still feel authentic...
...AND not tell every person that asks your story.
Well today I talk about the holidays, learning to have authentic conversations with others that leave you with your integrity and why it's just SO hard when someone asks those questions.

Every bit of every message we are taught when we are younger is that if we persevere and make sacrifices now and work hard, sometimes even into the ground, then we will reap the rewards later in life.
It's all do, do, do.
Then enter a fertility journey and it doesn't match up. In fact the harder you work the more upset you become, the more your life starts to fall apart.
So today I want to talk about on the podcast why 'surrendering to the fertility journey doesn't come naturally' to us.
And what it is that holds us stuck to let it go just a little bit even for our sanity!
It's not what you think!
But this episode will get you to see your fertility in a whole new way.
Enjoy xx

Finding faith in amongst all the appointments of infertility that seem to confirm over and over again how hopeless your situation is it can feel impossible to think that you ever could think positively about your situation.
I mean, it's been going on for years now right?
But you beg to feel better and want to think more positively - to drag yourself out of the black pit of despair.
Well today, I talk about one of the was you can start to break the cycle of negative thinking through the stories that we tell.
I also detail why we tell our stories and what we are REALLY looking for!
Breaking the cycle of negative thinking isn't a mystery - you just need to know how!

We try hard to get pregnant, it doesn't work. We try HARDER to get pregnant, it still doesn't work.
So then we become militant about our fertility and beat up on ourselves if we sway even slightly from the path.
If you have been experiencing fertility perfectionism by either being militant and being miserable or beating up on yourself for not being 'perfect enough' - then this episode is for you.
Today I want to talk to you about WHY being perfect might be working against you and your fertility and your emotional resilience and mindset.
It's time to ditch perfectionism and embrace emotional well-being, mental sanity and sustainability and joy.
Let's talk...
