In this episode, we are talking about rehearsing for disappointment. This looks a little like:

We do this because we think that if we rehearse and prepare for disappointment ahead of time, that when the disappointing thing actually happens, it will be less painful.

But it doesn't exactly work that way.

When we do this, it simply means that we are going through the pain and disappointment twice.

Once in our imagination

And once in reality

Welcome back!

I have taken a break for a while to work on some other projects but I’ll be back now, every week, with a new episode of the Infertility Stress Relief Podcast.

Today I’m going to share my conversation with Lisa Hendrickson-Jack. She is the expert that I often refer to when people want to learn more about cycle awareness and cycle health. I have been listening to her podcast, the Fertility Friday Podcast, for years!

I love her approach to education on menstrual health and her work in teaching people body literacy and self-advocacy. She is such a powerhouse of knowledge on this (and many other subjects), and I have so much respect and appreciation for the movement she has created and is continuing to grow.

Lisa’s Bio:

Lisa Hendrickson-Jack is a certified Fertility Awareness Educator and Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner who teaches women to chart their menstrual cycles for natural birth control, conception, and monitoring overall health. In her book The Fifth Vital Sign, Lisa debunks the myth that regular ovulation is only important when you want children by recognizing the menstrual cycle as a vital sign. Drawing heavily from the current scientific literature, Lisa presents an evidence-based approach to fertility awareness and menstrual cycle optimization. She hosts the Fertility Friday Podcast, a weekly radio show devoted to helping women connect to their fifth vital sign by uncovering the connection between menstrual cycle health, fertility, and overall health.
