The Fertility Godmother Show

Pregnancy loss can change so much more than how you feel about pregnancy...

It can change how you feel about your body, your future, your relationship, and whether you can trust that things will ever turn out differently.

In this episode of The Fertility Godmother Show, Denise Erez sits down with Jessica Fisher, founder of Lavela Health, for an honest conversation about what happens physically and emotionally after pregnancy and reproductive loss.

Jessica shares her own experience of four pregnancy losses, including an ectopic pregnancy that ruptured and required emergency surgery, and how those experiences led her to create Lavela Health after realizing how little specialized support existed for women navigating miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, and other forms of reproductive loss. 

Together, Denise and Jessica talk about the parts of pregnancy loss that often go unspoken, including postpartum after loss, self-blame, the pressure to move on before you’re ready, and what happens when partners grieve the same loss very differently.

They also talk about what better support after pregnancy loss could look like. Jessica shares the vision behind Lavela Health, including specialized mental health care, community, and a more connected continuum of care so women don’t have to figure out where to turn on their own after a loss. 

And they explore one of the hardest questions of all: How do you let yourself hope again after pregnancy loss?

Jessica talks about the fear of trying again, the anxiety that can come with another pregnancy, and the reality that grief and joy can exist at the same time. 

If you’ve experienced pregnancy loss, are thinking about trying again, or want to better understand how to support someone you love, this conversation is for you.

Fertility nutrition can get confusing fast.

Protein. Carbs. Sugar. Healthy fats. Fruits. Vegetables. Supplements. Different diets telling you completely different things.

So what should you actually be putting on your plate when you’re trying to get pregnant?

In this episode of The Fertility Godmother Show, Denise Erez simplifies fertility nutrition and walks you through a practical way to build meals that nourish your body without making food feel like another full-time job.

Denise shares how she thinks about a fertility-friendly plate, including why she recommends making a large portion of your meals water-rich fruits and vegetables while also prioritizing clean protein, fiber, and healthy fats.

She also talks about:

• Why food is such an important foundation during the fertility journey
• How protein supports growth, repair, hormones, and energy
• Why fruits and vegetables deserve more room on your plate
• The role of fiber and healthy fats
• Foods she recommends limiting while you’re supporting your fertilit
• How digestion and inflammation fit into the bigger picture
• Why slowing down and chewing your food matters
• Simple meal-planning habits that can make eating well much easier

This isn’t about following a perfect fertility diet

It’s about understanding what your body needs, making food simpler, and creating small habits you can actually maintain.

If you’ve been wondering what to eat while trying to conceive, this episode will give you a much clearer place to start.

If your fertility plan isn’t getting you where you want to go, it may be time to look at more than one piece of the puzzle.

In this episode of The Fertility Godmother Show, Denise Erez walks through five areas she looks at when helping women take a closer look at their fertility plan.

Because fertility isn’t only about one hormone, one supplement, one test result, or one thing you need to “fix.”

Your beliefs, daily habits, emotional health, the information you have about your body, and the direction you’re taking can all influence what happens next.

Through real client stories and practical examples, Denise shares how seemingly small changes helped women uncover information they were missing, support their bodies differently, and move forward with more clarity.

You’ll also learn how Denise’s BLIND Framework can help you step back and look at your fertility journey as a whole instead of continuing to add more information, supplements, or strategies without knowing what your body actually needs.

If your current approach feels scattered, confusing, or like it needs a second look, this episode will help you identify where to focus next.

What if there’s a side of the fertility journey that goes beyond hormones, lab work, and timing?

In this episode of The Fertility Godmother Show, Denise Erez sits down with Anne-Claire Le Bihan, Spirit Baby Medium, Fertility Guide, naturopath, and host of the Empowering Fertility Summit, for a fascinating conversation about spirit babies, intuition, timing, pregnancy loss, and the spiritual side of becoming a mother.

Anne-Claire shares what she believes a spirit baby is, how she began connecting with them after her own pregnancy loss, and what these connections can mean for women navigating fertility challenges.

Together, Denise and Anne-Claire explore questions like:

• Can you connect with your future baby before pregnancy?
• Do babies choose their parents?
• Is there a deeper timing to the fertility journey?
• What role can intuition play when deciding between paths like IVF and trying naturally?
• How can grief and pregnancy loss be held from a spiritual perspective?
• What do spirit babies most often want their future parents to know?

They also talk openly about grief, miscarriage, hope after years of trying, and what can happen when you quiet the outside noise and begin trusting what feels right for you.

This is a beautiful, thought-provoking conversation about connection, hope, intuition, and looking at the fertility journey from a completely different perspective.

Trying to conceive can change the way intimacy feels.

What used to be spontaneous and connecting can slowly become timed, pressured, and focused on whether everything is going to “work.”

In this episode of The Fertility Godmother Show, Denise Erez talks about what can happen when the pressure to conceive starts taking over your sex life and why that pressure can affect confidence, connection, and the way the body responds.

She explains why this is not a reflection of masculinity or attraction and breaks down what is actually happening in the nervous system when intimacy begins to feel more like a performance than a connection.

You’ll also learn how couples can begin shifting out of that pressure cycle, creating new associations around intimacy, and bringing more pleasure, playfulness, and connection back into their relationship.

Denise also explores some of the lifestyle factors that may be adding even more stress to the body and shares three practical shifts you can begin making now.

Because trying to conceive may be part of your relationship, but it does not have to take over your relationship.

If intimacy has started feeling more stressful, scheduled, or pressured since you began trying for a baby, this conversation is for both of you.

Your period arrives every month, so you have been told your cycle is normal.

But you are still not pregnant, and something does not feel right.

In this episode of The Fertility Godmother Show, Denise Erez explains why getting a regular period does not always tell you the full story about your hormones, ovulation, or fertility.

Your menstrual cycle includes far more than the days you bleed. The timing of your ovulation, fertile mucus, spotting, PMS, cramps, flow, and the way you feel throughout the month may all be giving you important information.

Through a real client story and her FLOW Framework, Denise helps you understand the patterns that may deserve a closer look and why tracking your cycle can mean much more than marking the first day of your period.

You will also learn how greater awareness can help you ask better questions, advocate for yourself, and understand what your body may need next.

If you have been told everything looks fine but still feel that something is being overlooked, this episode will help you look at your cycle differently.

Start understanding what your cycle may be communicating.

In this episode, Denise walks through:

• why your first thoughts in the morning matter
