“There’s no one perfect way to health.”

🦩How to start off your health journey.
🦩Why you have to deal with stress properly.
🦩The importance of community and accountability.
🦩Why less is more with supplements.
How to Make 2021 Your Year Increase Your Chances of Getting & Stay Pregnant
When it comes to getting healthier and building new habits, we often think that we have to find the perfect diet or nutrition plan, but in reality, there is no perfect one size fits all plan. Each of us is uniquely individual and has to find what works best for us.
“Don’t underestimate the stress you may be going through.”
Stress is another big factor when it comes to fertility health. We often sweep our stress under the rug or turn to binging a tv show or having a few adult beverages to destress, but these things can actually cause more stress. So what things should you be implementing to deal with stress?
“We have to make sure we are controlling our own environments.”
So let’s together stop wishing and start doing and make 2021 our year to take charge of our health, our stress, and our fertility.
Let's Do This Together
💚

Hello Beautiful
In this episode, I sit down with Stephaine Courtney the founder of The Learning Project.
“I’m dealing with something and don’t even know where to start.”
She shares with us her own personal story of infertility as well as how she came up with the idea to start an organization that gives all children the opportunity to succeed.
“Don’t be afraid to take control of your journey.”
We dive into the feelings of guilt and shame that come when you first realize you are not able to get pregnant and how that can affect our relationship with not only ourselves but with our significant other.
Often we ignore our own needs and it is important to build ourselves up so that we can be strong and stable.
“You can know so much about nutrition and still not do it.”
In addition, we talk about stress levels and how drastically they can affect both our mental health as well as our infertility. We hope this episode encourages you no matter where you are at in your fertility journey!
Topics Discussed:
🦩The guilt of not being able to get pregnant.
🦩How stress affects us.
🦩Work and life balance and how to change your outlook.

When I first started off with yoga I hated it, I struggled with sitting still, and my mind fought it.
Along my journey as I continued practicing it, things finally hit for me and I saw yoga’s ability to transform my thinking, and how it allowed me to deal with difficult situations and difficult people in my life in a healthy way.
In this episode I sit down with Erin, founder of Fertile Hope Yoga.
She explains how yoga allows us to open up emotionally, and how it healed her after growing up being an unwanted child. She talks about the flow our bodies are able to get into both the physical and mental working together to shower out love and peace around us.
Yoga’s ability to help our mindset cannot be expressed enough. I also share my own hesitations and what happened when I finally “gave in” to yoga and embraced it.

In this episode, I sit down with Melissa from Confetti and Vodka and we talk about her own infertility journey.
Her husband had battles and overcame cancer, and they battled infertility together.
From having to move out of the country to transferring sperm that was taken 10 years ago, she shares the trials that she went through.
Amidst it all Melissa shares how she was completely open about the journey she and her husband were going through and she expresses how that helped them so much in an otherwise lonely time of moving out of the country and going through all the things associated with infertility.
We also talk about having a life outside of your infertility journey and how that can be stressful in and of itself when we have to give up some of the things we love to focus on our infertility journey, but we also discuss how important it is to hold onto the things that bring us joy in life.

Hello Beautiful
In this episode, I sit down with Carrie Hauskens as she talks about her own personal infertility journey from struggling to get pregnant to her miscarriage and all the things in between. She gives a raw account of how much taking care of your mental health plays a role in the whole process, and how her attitude shifted during this process.
We discuss the shift that takes place, physically, mentally, and even socially when we begin to change the steps of our journey towards a more healthy version of ourselves. How our mindset changes and things that we used to think were normal, we discover are not normal, and we place so much expectation on ourselves of what we think we should be doing.
Carrie also talks about the decisions to leave her job and what a struggle that was at the time but how freeing and stress relieving it was on her once she committed to that decision.

Working through our issues during infertility helps us become such a better mom. In this episode I sit down with Jennifer Robertson as we talk about dealing with our shit. We tend to stuff down all the feelings and emotions that we go through during infertility. Rather than working through the emotion, we bury it and plow through to the next step.
But it’s so important to slow down and admit that it’s okay that things are not perfect. It’s okay we are angry. It’s okay to admit that we have emotions and feelings along this journey, and there isn’t some picture that we have to look like.
Jennifer shares with us the heartbreak and the joy that she has experienced and why she believes that the heartbreak when dealt with and recognized can lead us to greater things and really build us to be better moms.

In this episode I sit down with Blair Nelson as we both discuss our journeys through infertility. We know that time can almost seem to stand still when we are trying to get pregnant, so how do we work through that especially when we keep getting an “undiagnosed infertility” response from doctors?
We often think the stress will go away once we see the two pink lines, but often the stress can increase at that point we are weighed down with even more worry and stress. This is why it’s so important to begin to implement things that help with your stress levels, from meditation, acupuncture, mindset, and nutrition.
We often turn to IVF because we think that is the only answer, but Blair and I really lay out how changing your habits that are self-sabotaging your efforts without even realizing it, are the first steps that should be taken on your infertility journey.

Unexplained infertility seems to be the blanket statement that many doctors like to throw over our infertility issues when they don’t know or understand what is going on.
The good news is you don’t have to take that at face value.
Today I am joined by Kela Smith who was told exactly that when she couldn’t get pregnant, and she shares her story of how she did not accept that answer and set out to educate herself.
It’s a scary place not knowing what is going on with our bodies, but we have so many resources available now to dig in and learn for ourselves.
We get that changing your lifestyle habits and eating habits can be a bit overwhelming. But Kela shares with us how making small daily changes that are simple and doable can lead us to new heights.
Kela also shares how even though she thought she was healthy and ate well, it still was different eating for fertility and what she did to adjust her former thoughts and lifestyles of health to fit her infertility journey.

How do we deal with the emotional aspects of infertility? Often we get so caught up in “doing” that we roll over how we feel. In this episode, we talk about things we wish we could go back and tell our younger selves. For most of us we wish we would have slowed down and listened to our bodies.
When we are in the midst of our infertility journey the last thing we want to do is slow down, because then we will start feeling, but by allowing ourselves to grieve and to acknowledge how we feel we are better able to cope with the stress and what is really going on in our bodies. We can experience joy and life even on this harrowing journey, but only if we allow ourselves. We have to give ourselves permission, and we have to realize that the hurt and the grief that we are feeling is normal.

When it comes to IVF doctors and clinics do they have your best interest in mind? While they may not be trying to do harm, doctors are taught one way when in reality there are many moving pieces when it comes to your infertility. So how do you navigate what your doctor is telling you, and make sure that you get the treatment you need?
In this episode, we dive into what you need to know before you go to your IVF doctor. There are things you can do to increase your chances of IVF working. Often IVF doctors just don’t know what alternatives that you can implement to increase your chances. That is what we are here for to guide you through what you need to do on your own to prepare and how to go into your IVF doctor informed and in the know. No one knows your body like you do, and we have to trust our bodies and what we know we need the most.
