Let go of guilt and shame to transform your fertility journey with Lachelle Wieme Part 1

“Shame and guilt keep us at the bottom of the emotional vibrational scale.”

Topics Discussed:

🦩 The emotional impact of grieving the loss of fertility dreams.

🦩 The power of vibrational energy.

🦩 The subconscious mind and fertility issues.

🦩 The power of thoughts and emotions.

🦩 The importance of allowing and expressing emotions.

Have you considered how your emotional baggage and unresolved issues could be impacting your fertility? Emotions such as shame and guilt keep you in a low vibrational state that could potentially hinder your fertility journey.

In this episode of the Finding Fertility podcast, I speak with Lachelle Wieme, a nurse anesthetist turned business consultant. She coaches working moms ready to scale their businesses and finally step back from their full-time careers. Lachelle opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of trying to conceive, the heartbreak of a missed miscarriage, and the societal pressures that often make these experiences even more challenging.

Listen in to learn the importance of finding something positive amid difficult times to elevate yourself. You will also learn the importance of acknowledging and expressing emotions rather than suppressing them, as suppressed emotions can manifest as diseases.

“The closer we can be to the higher vibrational plane, the more likely it is for the good things to be able to attract to us.”

Episode Highlights:

• [01:24] Lachelle’s background as an aesthetician, plus how she helps people step into their best versions.
• [03:10] She shares her personal experience with infertility and the emotional impact it had on her.
• [07:03] The devastating loss of her twin pregnancies and the emotional toll it took on her and her marriage.
• [09:59] How negative emotions can lower vibrational energy and hinder attracting positive experiences.
• [11:06] The importance of focusing on the smallest blessings during difficult times and using them to elevate yourself.
• [15:24] How deep subconscious beliefs can prevent you from executing your dream family life.
• [22:17] How thoughts create feelings – positive emotions raise vibrations while negative emotions lower them.
• [26:27] The importance of acknowledging your emotions and allowing them to be expressed in order to release them.
