Fertile Ground: A mind-body approach to getting pregnant - without it taking over your life.

If you get your hopes up and super confident that "this is going to be the month" and it doesn't happen… Then what? Here's the million-dollar question AND answer…  What do you make it mean after a failure – after a failed treatment or you get your period?  I didn't do enough. I'm lazy. I must not want it that bad. More googling/research and physical changes. Somethings wrong with me. All this outs...

Laura joined FMBM after 2 miscarriages resulting from IVF. She was beside herself, lonely, so frustrated and confused about next steps. She joined Fertility Mind-Body Mastery not to necessarily get pregnant – but  to do something for herself  for the first time on her fertility journey. She had lost herself, lost her way and the over-focus on perfecting the journey had left her mentally, physicall...

  It feels crazy to announce to that I'm halfway through my pregnancy with baby #2!  The fertility journey is one wild ride. So many ups and downs. So many unknowns and uncertainties. So many what-the-fuck-is-happenings. The irony is that the more I surrender to this truth – that fertility cannot be tamed, and my only job is to let her be wild, misunderstood and often confusingggg -- the more conn...

Has anyone ever called you: too sensitive, too emotional, too anxious, easily triggered? Do you have gut issues/IBS/stomach aches that flare-up when you're nervous system gets activated? Do you wish you could just be like "normal people"… be more "easy going" and not care so much? Do you worry this could be affecting your fertility? Me too. I was/still am a yes to all of the above. ANDDDD some. I...

Have you ever read an inspiring book that you completely fell in love with, and you were like, "Omg this has changed my life!" but then a month after you close the last page – you're right back to feeling like you did before reading it? What happened? Why the fizzle? How do you make the transformation last? There are two important components to transformation. 1. Theory = The knowledge. 2. Applica...

Before joining Fertility Mind-Body Mastery – Grace had closed her heart down. She hadn't cried in years but also hadn't felt deep joy either. She grew up with a special spark…believing in magic and loved the idea of manifesting and consciously creating her life – and this was a drastic difference from where her fertility journey had unconsciously led her. She knew intuitively that the block she as...

So many of the women I work with have this in common: Ever since they were a little girl, they wanted a baby and to be a mom more than anything in the world. It's been their #1 desire. Their non-negotiable. Their every-fucking-thing. Which makes this journey THAT much more confusing and frustrating. You see, I was also that little girl. I spent my youth playing house, asking for dolls at every bir...

Today's podcast release is an interview with a wonderful client Amber who is wise beyond her years. But she didn't always see it this way… She allowed our culture to cause her to second guess her brilliance and intuitive guidance both in her life and her fertility journey. Here's the thing… women who are this wise are often highly-sensitive. AKA. Anxious. And I think it's because our culture is to...

Robin was a self-proclaimed fixer, hard-worker, doer and pusher. She thought this was the only way to get what she wanted. She thought this was the way to her "trophy." These are very typical type A characteristics in the women I work with. They are determined to get what they want and I fucking LOVE that about them (and you.) But what happens when this type of work doesn't translate into the fert...

It's like a flashlight is shined on your marriage when you're on the fertility journey. Emotions are heightened. You're trying to get on the same page as to the "right next steps." Maybe one of you is doing more than the other. And resentment can easily build. You have 2 options at this point: 1. Be in the energy of: "I just need to get pregnant so this can all be over." Which really adds more pre...

Money and the fertility journey go hand in hand. And initially, that could be a huge piss off. Resentment builds and shame takes hold with the thought of, "Why do I have to pay when to most people, this is absolutely free?" And if you focus solely on the physical aspects of the journey, it's super easy for this thought to disempower you after every investment you make on the journey – big or small...

Juanita got pregnant with her first baby easily and naturally. And when the second baby didn't come as easy, it was super confusing to her. She tried diet, exercise, supplements and "thinking positive." Literally all of the things to try and conceive another baby. After some testing, she decided to embark on IVF and enlisted the support of my program, Fertility Mind-Body Mastery -- to help her pre...

As a woman, the fertility journey can feel you're holding the weight of the world on your shoulders. And your shoulders are tired... And your mind? Also tired. And the rest of your body is tired AF too….The truth is that the journey can take over every aspect of your life. As you believe this one thought: "It's all on me to figure this thing out. It's on me to figure out what's wrong with my body...

Holly and I had something in common. We both tried to conceive for 8 years. Almost a decade of our lives was dedicated to becoming a mother. When she learned that it took me this long to create my baby, she felt safe joining my program Fertility Mind-Body Mastery. Cause after that long, it's kinda tough to lean into possibility AND ALSO hard to find someone who believes IN YOU. Her story is one I...

This week's podcast is a bit different cause it's off the riff…. Is that even a sentence? Basically, before recording it, I just made like 10 bullet points and started talking with you w/o perfecting my every word in Microsoft Word – which is why it used to take me days to create a podcast.   This podcast took me 20 minutes to do. (Holy shit perfectionism is a time waster. Moving past it is like g...

Here's a little bit on my almost 9-month pregnant client, Alyssa. She's an entrepreneur who at one point -- thrived off of all the shit she could get done w/o rest. She also experienced a loss while all her friends were pregnant or having babies. She knew what she needed most was to slow down, rest and grieve/feel what she's been through and be in the magic of what she wanted to create and what ki...

I had a tough month. Bouts of anxiety and thoughts of fear were running the show. I have no shame around disclosing this because in life, this happens. Especially as a woman on her reproductive journey. A women's reproductive journey is a rollercoaster. From conception, to sometimes loss, to pregnancy, to birth, to motherhood. It's a motherfucking rollercoaster. What the movies depict is getting a...

After many moons trying to get pregnant, through many different avenues – my client Lynsey had a hard time believing in change. Thoughts like, "I've tried everything, now what ?!" or "Am I even changeable?" made her feel helpless. And in this space of wtf-is-next… she realized she needed help. She couldn't do it on her own anymore. Although she had fears around investing in 'yet another fertility...

When I was going through IVF, there was on average 20ish women in the waiting room. It was like we were cattle, waiting to move through the sluggish line. The routine was always the same. Blood work, get undressed, ultrasound, get dressed, talk to the doctor/nurse. Leave. The environment bred this thought of, "My body feels like a machine that needs fixing. But when I would go home , I would nurtu...

Can you remember a time in your life when you felt like things were really starting to work out – after a time of struggle and trying to "prove" yourself? Maybe it was at a point in your career. Things just started to feel right. Finally. Or meeting your partner. It felt like things were finally clicking . You could relax now. It's like nothing could stop the momentum that was building. But even i...

Do you wish you could get a grasp on your thoughts – but you can't seem to make the doubt and fear quiet down, even just a tiny bit?
