Love and Science Fertility

The Fertility Journey is a Marathon: Wisdom from Dr. Michelle Quirk


Listen Later

Have you ever felt that your fertility journey is longer than you thought it would be? Or like you didn't realize how much inner strength and resilience you would need to keep showing up every day as a physician patient?

My patients and clients know that I mark off the steps of an IVF journey like miles in a race. I see so many parallels between long distance running and the wisdom we need to make it through the fertility journey--loved, supported, and in tact. 

Today Dr. Quirk (a certified running coach) and I discuss the following:

  • How to connect with your Deepest Why and revisit it often
  • How to find motivation when progress feels slow
  • Mantras and mindset shifts to refocus the mind 
  • Mindfulness, and finding joy along the way

Don't miss this high yield episode. The fertility journey may feel like a marathon, however it is so much better with your A team. 

To quote my favorite mantra: "We Can Do Hard Things."

As always, please keep in mind that this is my perspective and nothing in this podcast is medical advice.

In Gratitude,

Dr. Erica Bove
