The Fertility Godmother Show

Fertility is not just physical. It is mental, emotional, spiritual, and sometimes deeply rooted in grief.

In this episode of The Fertility Godmother Show, Denise Erez sits down with Kerri-Anne Brown, licensed mental health counselor and specialist in infertility, pregnancy loss, reproductive trauma, and pregnancy after loss, for an important conversation about the grief so many women carry on the fertility journey but do not always know how to name.

Together, they talk about the grief of repeated negative pregnancy tests, failed treatment cycles, lost expectations, lost innocence, and the pain of watching life unfold differently than you always imagined.

Kerri-Anne also shares why fertility grief is so unique, how it can show up in the body, relationships, and sense of self, and why naming the losses is such an important part of healing.

In this episode, Denise and Kerri-Anne discuss:

• how to understand grief on the fertility journey
• why fertility grief can feel so complex and repetitive
• the difference between grief, guilt, and shame
• how grief can affect relationships, identity, and self-worth
• why there is no right timeline for grieving
• how to name the primary and secondary losses you may be carrying
• what it looks like to move through grief with more compassion and support

If you have ever felt heartbroken, overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or simply exhausted by your fertility journey, this conversation will help you feel more seen and less alone.

Trying to conceive after 40 can bring up so much fear, uncertainty, and pressure. But what if your fertility journey is not over just because you turned 40?

In this episode of The Fertility Godmother Show, Denise Erez sits down with Ch-a Mosley, founder of Pregnancy Over 40, to talk about conceiving naturally after 40, mindset, hope, and what women need to hear when they have been told it is too late.

After becoming pregnant naturally at 46 and giving birth to a healthy daughter at 47, Ch-a turned her experience into a mission to encourage and empower women trying to conceive later in life.

They talk about the beliefs women often have to release around age, fertility, energy, and motherhood, along with the lifestyle patterns Ch-a believes supported her health, including sleep, movement, food, and surrounding herself with good people.

They also get into dating after 40, not wasting time in the wrong relationship, and why choosing supportive practitioners matters so much on this journey.

In this episode, Denise and Ch-a discuss:

• what Ch-a’s natural pregnancy at 46 looked like
• the mindset shifts women may need after 40
• why fertility after 40 is not as hopeless as many women are told
• the importance of sleep, movement, food, and lifestyle consistency
• what women dating after 40 should pay attention to
• why support, hope, and the right practitioners matter
• how to stay realistic without spiraling into fear

This is such an encouraging conversation for any woman who is trying to conceive after 40 and wants to feel less afraid, more informed, and more supported.

What you eat affects more than your weight or energy. It can also affect your hormones, inflammation, egg quality, sperm health, and fertility.

In this episode of The Fertility Godmother Show, Denise Erez breaks down the foods that may be working against your fertility and overall health, especially when you are trying to conceive.

She explains how processed foods, sugar, trans fats, and highly inflammatory foods can drain your energy, burden your body, and make it harder for your cells to function the way they were designed to.

It's about awareness, small intentional shifts, and creating a healthier internal environment for your body and your future baby.

In this episode, Denise shares:

• why food is anything that passes your lips that is not water
• how food either nourishes your body or makes it work harder
• the connection between sugar, inflammation, and hormone chaos

Trying to support your fertility but still feeling tired, overwhelmed, or stuck?

In this episode of The Fertility Godmother Show, I’m breaking down two of the most overlooked foundations of fertility: the way you breathe and the water you drink.

Because fertility is not just about timing or supplements. It's also about energy. And your body needs oxygen, hydration, and the right internal environment to heal, regulate, and create life.

In this episode, I share how stress breathing can lower oxygen intake, why diaphragmatic breathing supports your nervous system, how hydration affects energy and hormone balance, and the small daily shifts that can help your body feel more supported.

If you’ve been trying to do everything right but still do not feel your best, this episode will help you simplify your approach and come back to the basics that matter most.

In this episode, I share:

• how breathing affects energy, hormones, and fertility
• why diaphragmatic breathing helps calm the nervous system
• the connection between hydration, cellular energy, and reproductive health
• why the quality of your water matters
• simple daily habits that can support healing, hormone balance, and fertility

Your body is not broken. It is always responding to the inputs it receives. And when you support it well, everything can begin to shift.
