Fertility Life Raft

When you've lost yourself


Listen Later

What if the very thing you’re doing to try and stay in control… is actually what’s making you feel so lost?

In this solo episode, I’m unpacking what happens when the journey to conceive takes over everything. Not just your calendar, your diet, your sleep, and your supplement regime — but your sense of self.

I’m sharing my own experience of feeling consumed by advice, routines, “must-dos,” and the crushing pressure to optimize every detail of my fertility — right down to one very memorable (and strangely guilt-inducing) slice of ham. Because when we’re in the thick of it, even the smallest deviation from the plan can feel catastrophic. And that’s the problem.

This episode is for you if:

  • You’re feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to “do everything right”

  • You’ve lost touch with the person you were before TTC

  • You need permission to just breathe without tying it to fertility outcomes

    Let this be your reminder: you are allowed to reconnect with yourself — not just as someone trying to conceive, but as someone worthy of compassion, space, and care… now. Not “once it works,” but now.

    I’ll walk you through what that kind of reconnection can look like and why it’s not just fluff — it’s essential.

    If you’re nodding along, make sure to sign up for the free Fertility Exhaustion Remedy — we start soon and I’d love to support you inside.
