The Wellness Effect (A Lifestyle U Podcast)

Trying to Conceive? Why Your Nervous System & Mindset Matter More Than You Think (Part I)


Listen Later

Can letting go be the very thing that brings your deepest desire? In this heart-opening episode of The Wellness Effect, Kira shares her vulnerable and powerful story of navigating fertility struggles, loss, and finally… a pregnancy. This conversation isn’t just about motherhood—it’s about healing, trusting your body, and choosing softness on the journey.

Together, we dive into the deep and often unspoken realities of the fertility journey. Kira shares the emotional weight of multiple losses, the toll of clinging to timelines, and what finally shifted her path. We also discuss how emotional regulation, nervous system healing, and surrender played a role—not only in conception but in overall well-being.

This isn’t a “just relax and it will happen” story. It’s an honest look at the messy, nonlinear path of creating life and choosing self-love along the way.

 

Key Takeaways:

  1. Letting go can open the door to healing.
  2. Chronic stress, emotional dysregulation, and being stuck in a survival state can block your body’s ability to feel safe enough to conceive.
  3. Pregnancy after loss brings complicated emotions. Joy, fear, grief, and gratitude often exist at the same time—and it’s okay to feel them all.
  4. Healing isn't about perfection—it’s about safety. Focus on foundational support (like sleep, minerals, and nourishment) rather than obsessing over doing everything “right” made the biggest difference.
  5. Everyone’s timeline is different—and that’s okay.
  6. Fertility is about more than just physical health. Mindset, emotional processing, energetic alignment, and trust in your body are just as important as labs, supplements, and protocols.
