Are your breast tenderness, fatigue, nausea, mood changes, or bloating signs of PMS, early pregnancy, or perimenopause—and how can you actually know the difference?

If you've ever found yourself analyzing every symptom during the two-week wait, you're not alone. In this episode, Dr. Katie Rose explains why PMS, early pregnancy, and perimenopause can feel almost identical, what those symptoms may actually be communicating about your health, and how understanding your body's patterns can help support both your fertility and overall well-being.

By listening, you'll discover:

1. How to tell the difference between PMS, early pregnancy, and perimenopause by looking beyond the symptoms themselves.
2. Why blood sugar, inflammation, stress, and nervous system regulation play a powerful role in premenstrual symptoms and fertility.
3. Practical strategies—including nutrition, EFT tapping, breathwork, acupuncture, and cycle awareness—to reduce PMS symptoms and better support your reproductive health.

Tune in to learn how to stop guessing, start understanding your body's signals, and feel more confident navigating every phase of your cycle.

Could one hormone test be causing more fear than clarity on your fertility journey?

If you've had testing for fertility and your AMH results left you feeling discouraged, this episode is for you. You'll learn what AMH actually measures, when it's a valuable tool, and why it should never be used on its own to determine your chances of pregnancy. Through a powerful patient story and years of clinical experience, you'll discover a more balanced, evidence-informed approach to understanding fertility without becoming attached to a single lab value.

In this episode, you'll discover:

1. When AMH testing is genuinely helpful—including IVF planning, suspected PMOS/PCOS, and endometriosis evaluation.
2. Why a low AMH does not mean pregnancy is impossible, and what this hormone can—and cannot—predict.
3. The factors you can actually influence to support fertility, including inflammation, nutrition, stress, blood sugar balance, the microbiome, and overall cycle health.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed by your AMH results or confused by your testing for fertility, tune in to gain clarity, reduce anxiety, and focus on the areas that can truly support your journey toward pregnancy.

In this episode, I’m so excited to welcome Beth Clayton, a somatic practitioner and guide in feminine archetypal work. Beth supports women in breaking free from “good girl” conditioning and reclaiming their most authentic, embodied selves.

We explore how healing is not just mental or emotional, but deeply somatic and embodied. Beth shares how many women reach a point where the life they’ve built no longer feels aligned, and how this often marks the beginning of awakening as the “mask” starts to crack.

Beth and I talk about the phases of the feminine healing journey, from early conditioning to healing and integration. We also dive into the power of being seen, emotional truth, and how to understand your body’s responses with more compassion.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✨ The Good Girl Conditioning: How early experiences and societal expectations shape the identities we carry and influence our lives.

✨ The Archetypal Path of the Wild Daughter: A framework for understanding the phases of awakening, healing, and transformation.

✨ When the Mask Starts to Crack: Why life can suddenly feel misaligned and how this marks the beginning of deeper self-reclamation.

✨ Healing Beyond the Mind: Why somatic work, embodiment, and nervous system safety are essential for lasting change.

✨ Emotional Truth vs. “What Actually Happened”: How your body’s experience holds validity and why honoring it matters.

✨ The Power of Being Seen & Integration: How safe spaces support healing and what it looks like to embody your authentic self.

This episode is a reminder that healing isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about unmasking, remembering, and reclaiming who you’ve always been beneath the conditioning.

There is nothing wrong with you.
There is only something within you that is ready to be seen, felt, and set free.

Ready to go deeper? I’d love to support you. Book your discovery call with me HERE.

In this episode, I’m so excited to welcome Dr. Abbey Leigh, an Ayurvedic doctor and Vedic astrologer specializing in fertility and reproductive health. Abby is known for helping individuals and couples take a holistic approach to conception by integrating the wisdom of Ayurveda with the timing and insight of Vedic astrology.

We explore how fertility is not just a physical process, but an emotional, energetic, and spiritual journey.

Dr. Abbey and I talk about how to navigate big fertility decisions with intuition and trust, whether that includes natural conception or assisted reproductive technologies like IUI, IVF and donor support. She also shares her insights on making the journey feel sacred, finding your own “yes,” and how surrender can open the door to possibilities we may have never expected.
