“You do not need to control your way into safety. You need to notice where control is running the show.” Topics Discussed Fertility burnout and why over-efforting feels safe but keeps you stuck IVF trauma and how control becomes a subconscious coping strategy The illusion of control as protection for the nervous system Subconscious healing through awareness, not fixing Why frequency behind action matters more than the action itself Gut health, mindset, emotional healing, and nervous system regulation as lived experiences Slowing down without losing momentum or responsibility Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be. This episode kicks off a gentle but powerful series that is not about learning more or doing more. It is about noticing what is already happening beneath the surface. Especially the places where control has quietly become your safety net. If you are navigating fertility burnout, IVF trauma, or that constant feeling of having to stay on top of everything just to survive, this conversation is for you. We talk about the mundane moments no one glamorizes. Your to do list. The way you plan your day. The subtle micromanaging that feels responsible but actually keeps your nervous system on edge. I am not here to tell you to stop controlling your life. I am here to help you see where control is driving, and where it might be costing you more than it gives. This is not about judgment or immediate change. It is about radical honesty, awareness, and compassion. The kind that opens the door to real subconscious healing. By the end of this episode, you may realize that the slow, seemingly pointless noticing is exactly where the deepest shifts in fertility, mindset, emotional healing, and frequency actually begin. And next week, we go even deeper into why control feels safe, and how to gently unwind it. “If slowing down feels pointless, that is usually where the real work is.” Timestamps 01:05: Week one begins, why the slow, mundane work is where true shifts happen 02:03: The fertility to do list and how control hides in plain sight 02:57: Control, obligation, and asking whether it actually lights you up 03:54: Frequency behind action, inspired movement versus pushing from fear 05:47: Why the old fast ways did not work, and the invitation to slow down with grace Full Transcript Over on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/week-one-infertility-ivf-burnout-control-the-slow-shifts-that-actually-change-everything Let's Do This Together 💚 Monica Instagram: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityIG  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@findingfertility TikTok: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityTikTok  🌺 Book Your Fertility Breakthrough Session Today here: https://calendly.com/findingfertility/discoveryconsultation?month=2022-10 🎙 Subscribe on your favourite podcast platform:⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Apple: http://bit.ly/FINDINGFERTILITYAPPLE⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Stitcher: http://bit.ly/FindingFertilitySTITCHER Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0BMtwCvdyR4aJyfSfcKh6i 🍍HELP SUPPORT THE SHOW🍍 You can shop for your favourite fertility support products over on: Seeking Health:https://bit.ly/FFSeekingHealth & Amazon:http://bit.ly/FindingFertilityAmazon   Anything written or said about health and diet are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, through trial and error, study, reading, listening and observing.

“Knowledge didn’t fail you. It just can’t carry you where you’re going next.” Topics Discussed • Fertility burnout after years of doing everything right• IVF trauma and how it lingers beyond the procedure• Why knowledge alone stops creating change• Subconscious blocks that show up as overdoing and overwhelm• The role of frequency in emotional healing and integration• Letting go of fixing, chasing, and constant optimizing• Becoming the observer instead of the manager of your healing “Your body isn’t asking for more effort. It’s asking for coherence.” Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be. This is not a New Year pep talk.This is not a fresh start fantasy.This is a pause. There comes a moment in the fertility journey when learning more stops helping. When gut health protocols, mindset work, emotional healing, even subconscious healing start stacking up instead of settling in. When fertility burnout isn’t loud panic anymore, but quiet exhaustion. The kind where you know what to do, yet nothing feels integrated. This episode is an honest conversation about that moment. The one where information is no longer the issue. Patterns are. Frequency is. The way you relate to your body, your story, your timeline, your expectations. The part where IVF trauma, loss, and pressure quietly shape how safe it feels to slow down. I share why I am shifting this podcast into something simpler, slower, and more uncomfortable in the best way. Short episodes. Less teaching. More space. Invitations to notice how you move, react, strive, and hold control. Not so you fix yourself, but so you stop abandoning yourself in the name of doing it right. If you have done everything and still feel stuck, this episode will meet you there. No rescue. No urgency. Just a truth that might feel sharp at first, then oddly relieving. “Liberation begins when you stop trying to prove you’re doing enough.” Timestamps 00:00 Welcome and grounding into the conversation01:30 Why New Year energy never resonated for me03:20 When knowledge became accessible, but embodiment didn’t follow05:50 The patterns I see women repeating even with all the tools07:15 Why this podcast is shifting into shorter, quieter episodes09:30 Fertility burnout, IVF trauma, and the illusion of control11:40 What real pattern interruption actually asks of you “Nothing new needs to be added.

"It wasn’t until after I got pregnant that I realized my gut health and so many other things had contributed to my miscarriages. My doctor said, 'It just happens.' But I knew there had to be a reason." Topics Discussed Fertility and gut health: How inflammation, processed foods, and nutrient absorption affect conception IVF or medical trauma: The frustration of being told “it just happens” after miscarriage Emotional and mindset healing: Turning discipline into self-love and rebuilding trust in the body Subconscious blocks and energy work: Letting go of instant gratification to create true healing Frequency, coherence, embodiment, and cellular health: How nourishment and awareness elevate fertility "Pregnancy isn’t a sign of health, it’s a sign of reproduction—and those are not the same thing." Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be. In this episode, I sit down with journalist-turned-health-podcaster Natalie Tisdale, whose fertility journey led her deep into the world of gut health, self-discipline, and true nourishment. What began as frustration after repeated miscarriages became a quest for understanding what her body was actually trying to say. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t about age, it was about inflammation, imbalance, and intuition. We talk about the myth of “bad luck” and how the body always whispers before it screams. Natalie shares how ditching processed foods, rebuilding her microbiome, and reconnecting to her body’s rhythm changed everything—from her energy to her fertility outcomes. It’s not about a long list of supplements or complicated biohacks, it’s about simple, nourishing choices made with love and awareness. You’ll laugh, nod, and probably want to grab a cup of bone broth halfway through this one. We also dive into how discipline becomes an act of self-love, why antibiotics wreck more than your gut, and how trusting your inner guidance can transform your fertility journey. The message is clear: healing your gut isn’t just about digestion, it’s about coherence, connection, and creation. "Discipline isn’t punishment—it’s self-love in action." Timestamps00:00 – Why your frequency matters more than your protocol01:31 – Natalie’s shift from news anchor to health storyteller03:20 – The real reason behind her miscarriages and gut health connection06:24 – The perimeter-of-the-grocery-store rule that changed everything09:10 – Why self-discipline is the new self-care14:12 – How to simplify gut healing and stop the overwhelm18:46 – Organ meats, bone broth, and forgotten fertility foods22:35 – Small daily habits that reset your gut and your energy "When you feel good from the good things, you stop craving the bad things—physically and emotionally."

“Information without embodiment keeps you stuck in the same emotional loops that cancel out the physical work you are doing.” Topics Discussed • IVF trauma and fertility burnout• Emotional healing and subconscious patterns• Radical responsibility during the TTC journey• Embodiment vs information overload• Epigenetics and long term cellular health• Victim mindset, inner dialogue, and emotional loops• Stepping into trust, self worth, and nervous system coherence “Your physical body needs time to catch up with your mental reality.” Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be… Today’s episode goes straight to the heart of the fertility journey. If you have been gathering knowledge, listening to every expert, and collecting every supplement like tiny emotional trophies, yet still feel stuck, this one will hit home. I share the honest truth that most women avoid. You might know everything, yet still not be living any of it. You might be doing the physical work while your emotional patterns cancel it out. And I say that with so much love because that was me for years. We explore the real reason embodiment matters, why victim stories feel comforting but keep you looping, and how your body is always trying to catch up with the version of you who knows she is meant to be a mother. You will hear the clip I wish I had on repeat at twenty seven, thirty one, even thirty four. It will probably trigger something. That is exactly where the gold is hiding. If you are ready to shift timelines, collapse old patterns, and stop living in emotional slumps that drain your fertility, this episode will land with a mix of truth, humor, and full body resonance. Press play and let this be your turning point. “Sort the emotion that is keeping you stuck because we do not live in that story anymore.” Timestamps 00:00 Introduction and emotional insight about the fertility journey01:05 Why most women avoid the real work and stay in research mode03:27 Epigenetics and why your emotional patterns matter04:25 The difference between information and embodiment06:47 The bold clip on radical responsibility07:44 How victim loops block your fertility progress10:05 Who is truly ready for a fertility breakthrough session “Thoughts, emotions, and actions create your reality, and that is what will shift your fertility timeline.” Full Transcript Over on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/breaking-the-loop-of-infertility-ivf-trauma-and-stepping-into-radical-responsibility-fertility-success Let's Do This Together 💚 Monica Message me DREAMS to access your free Fertility Breakthrough Session: Email: monica@findingfertility.co [not .com 🤣] Instagram: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityIG  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@findingfertility TikTok: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityTikTok    🌺 Book Your Fertility Breakthrough Session Today here: https://calendly.com/findingfertility/discoveryconsultation?month=2022-10   🎙 Subscribe on your favourite podcast platform:⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Apple: http://bit.ly/FINDINGFERTILITYAPPLE⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Stitcher: http://bit.ly/FindingFertilitySTITCHER Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0BMtwCvdyR4aJyfSfcKh6i   🍍HELP SUPPORT THE SHOW🍍 You can shop for your favourite fertility support products over on: Seeking Health:https://bit.ly/FFSeekingHealth & Amazon:http://bit.ly/FindingFertilityAmazon   Anything written or said about health and diet are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, through trial and error, study, reading, listening and observing.

“What if I stop judging myself and let the pieces fall so something better can be built.” Topics Discussed • The messy middle of TTC and IVF recovery• Emotional healing during fertility burnout• Subconscious patterns and self judgment• Frequency shifts and embodied surrender• Radical honesty with yourself during the journey• Letting go of control and rebuilding from a grounded place “You cannot light switch your body. You cannot snap your fingers and erase decades of patterns.” Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be… This episode takes you straight into the heart of the messy middle, that uncomfortable space between who you were and who you are becoming. If you feel like life is a wobbly tower of blocks and you are using every toe, finger, and nose hair to hold it together, you are not alone. This is the moment where surrender feels impossible and control feels safer, yet your body is quietly asking for stillness, honesty, and trust. We explore the deep emotional patterns that rise when everything starts to fall apart, the subconscious urge to fix what is not fixable, and the beauty that comes from letting yourself “do nothing” for a moment. Yes, I even talk about my husband sleeping his way to genius and how your soul babies probably wish you would slow down long enough to hear yourself think. This conversation invites you to soften. To witness the chaos without judgment. To release the frantic Googling and the need for the next perfect plan. And to remember that the void is not punishment. It is power. The version of you on the other side of this episode is clearer, calmer, and more aligned. Press play and feel the shift begin. “Judgment only comes from the mind. No one is judging you but you.” Timestamps 00:00 Opening insight on intuition and fertility01:28 The truth about the messy middle of TTC04:40 Why letting go of control changes your emotional frequency07:29 The radical honesty required for real transformation10:25 How doing nothing can create the biggest breakthroughs12:47 Reframing setbacks, miscarriages, and slow progress14:46 Understanding judgment, frequency, and emotional alignment “Sometimes the greatest healing comes from sitting in the void and doing absolutely nothing.” Full Transcript Over on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/when-your-infertility-ivf-journey-feels-like-it-is-falling-apart-even-when-you-re-doing-everything-right Let's Do This Together 💚 Monica Message me DREAMS to access your free Fertility Breakthrough Session: Email: monica@findingfertility.co [not .com 🤣] Instagram: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityIG  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@findingfertility TikTok: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityTikTok    🌺 Book Your Fertility Breakthrough Session Today here: https://calendly.com/findingfertility/discoveryconsultation?month=2022-10   🎙 Subscribe on your favourite podcast platform:⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Apple: http://bit.ly/FINDINGFERTILITYAPPLE⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Stitcher: http://bit.ly/FindingFertilitySTITCHER Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0BMtwCvdyR4aJyfSfcKh6i   🍍HELP SUPPORT THE SHOW🍍 You can shop for your favourite fertility support products over on: Seeking Health:https://bit.ly/FFSeekingHealth & Amazon:http://bit.ly/FindingFertilityAmazon   Anything written or said about health and diet are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, through trial and error, study, reading, listening and observing.

“I think what I've discovered in the last few years is that you can be doing everything right on the energetic side of things.” • Feeling like it is the end when you have one embryo left or one last IVF transfer• Obsessing over fertility numbers and treating them like destiny• Subconscious gender stories, boy mom identity and beliefs about women• Spirit babies, soul contracts and staying grounded in your own joy• Cellular health, frequency and trusting fertility as innate• Nervous system safety, emotional release and facing hard feelings instead of staying positive• False surrender, discipline as self love and choosing to live your life while TTC “Those are just stories we're making up.” Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be… In this intimate, behind the scenes coaching session, we walk into the tender place so many women land on this journey. The place where you are staring at your labs, your age, your one embryo left and your brain is screaming, this is the end. I share how I went into my own last frozen embryo transfer with the twins convinced it was my final shot, miscarried, and truly believed I would only have one child. Looking back with the eyes I have now, I can see how much of that was a story, a protection pattern and a total disconnect from the truth that fertility lives in your cells, not in your fear. We explore gender anxiety, boy versus girl stories, and the sneaky subconscious beliefs many of us carry about women, mothers and ourselves. I talk about growing up with a deeply masculine mother, realizing I subconsciously thought all women were bitches, and why my mentor once told me I literally could not hold the woman frequency yet. We fold in spirit babies, soul contracts, and the very human temptation to outsource our power to readings instead of doing the unsexy work of cellular health, nervous system safety, emotional healing and actual joy. If you are tired of trying to stay positive, secretly terrified of another failed transfer, or spinning in false surrender while saying you have “let it go,” this conversation is your loving interruption. You will hear practical tools, real stories and a deeply truthful reframe that might finally let your shoulders drop and your heart exhale. Press play if you are ready to believe that this is not the end and that your baby is far more interested in your frequency than your perfection. “Anyways, that's why it's all about you. The baby doesn't want anything. It wants the same frequency, so coming home to yourself is the best thing you can do.” Timestamps00:00 - When you are doing everything right energetically and still stressed before IVF02:51 - Thinking this is the end after loss and why those stories are not the full truth10:21 - Boy mom identity, feminine wounds and subconscious beliefs about women17:57 - Spirit baby readings, soul contracts and not outsourcing your power26:36 - Facing hard emotions instead of forcing positivity before an IVF transfer32:45 - Written in the stars, miscarriage guilt and what really affects pregnancy36:29 - Client story of failed IVF, natural conception and releasing TTC timelines “This is just a chapter.

"Your fertility is just a reflection of your life. How you’ve lived produced this result. It’s not your fault, but it is your responsibility." Topics Discussed The emotional and energetic cost of modern womanhood and chronic overwork How burnout, stress, and disconnection from joy impact fertility and hormones The problem with “junk science” fertility myths around age and supplements IVF and medical trauma, and how to reclaim body trust after disempowering experiences Gut health as a foundation for hormonal and cellular repair Reprogramming subconscious blocks that keep you outsourcing power to experts Using discernment and intuition when navigating fertility protocols Energetic frequency, emotional coherence, and the cellular blueprint of health How AI is reshaping fertility support while still requiring human awareness and embodiment Radical responsibility and the shift from victimhood to empowerment "No one is coming to fix you. And I don’t mean that harshly—it’s actually the most powerful truth you’ll ever accept." Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be. This episode goes deep into the burnout and disconnection women face in the name of “doing it all.” We talk about what it really costs to chase success at the expense of joy, peace, and fulfillment—and how those energetic debts eventually show up in your body and fertility. You’ll hear raw truths about medical myths, why intuition is your most underused fertility tool, and how to stop outsourcing your power to experts, protocols, and even AI. We also explore how emotional patterns and subconscious blocks shape your frequency, your gut health, and your cellular vitality. If you’ve been “doing everything right” but still feel stuck, this conversation will help you see that healing isn’t about doing more—it’s about aligning deeper. The real medicine begins when you get radically honest about what’s not working and start showing up differently. There’s a little sass, a little science, and a lot of soul. By the end, you’ll understand that your body never betrayed you—it’s just been trying to get your attention. And once you listen, the magic unfolds naturally. "Instead of asking ‘Why me?,’ start saying ‘I’m glad it stops with me.’ That’s when you shift from pain to power."

“You can’t Type A your way into pregnancy. You can push, but your body will push back.” Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be... This episode is packed with truth bombs, science-backed insights, and a big dose of real talk with fertility expert Kristen Karchmer. Together we peel back the layers of fertility burnout and talk about why women who “do everything right” are often the most exhausted, frustrated, and still not pregnant. Spoiler: it’s not your age, it’s your cellular energy. We dive into the reality that fertility clinics rarely talk about—how rushing into IVF or IUI without repairing the foundation of your health can actually set you back. Kristen shares how fatigue, stress, and even emotional disconnection play a far bigger role than the latest supplement on TikTok. It’s about building resilience, coherence, and a sustainable rhythm that supports both your body and your future baby. And yes, we go there: the illusion of control, the obsession with apps and trackers, and the collective conditioning that tells women to “do more” instead of “be more present.” This episode is your permission slip to slow down, listen deeply, and start aligning your energy with your body’s innate wisdom. Because fertility isn’t a race, it’s a frequency shift. “The only way to get a baby out is to surrender. The same goes for calling one in.” Timestamps00:00 – Why your frequency matters more than your protocol06:10 – Listening to your body instead of influencers09:00 – The illusion of control and the myth of the fertility cliff12:22 – How surrender prepares you for both conception and motherhood18:12 – Generational burnout, epigenetics, and fertility23:45 – Redefining success and rewriting the modern woman’s blueprint “Surrender isn’t giving up, it’s getting out of your own way so your body can do what it was designed to do.” Full Transcript Over on the Blog: The Hidden Cost of Fertility Burnout (and Why Surrender Is Your New Superpower) with Kristen Karchmer https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/the-hidden-cost-of-fertility-burnout-and-why-surrender-is-your-new-superpower-with-kristen-karchmer Let's Do This Together 💚 Monica Message me DREAMS to access your free Fertility Breakthrough Session: Email: monica@findingfertility.co [not .com 🤣] Instagram: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityIG  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@findingfertility TikTok: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityTikTok    🌺 Book Your Fertility Breakthrough Session Today here: https://calendly.com/findingfertility/discoveryconsultation?month=2022-10   🎙 Subscribe on your favourite podcast platform:⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Apple: http://bit.ly/FINDINGFERTILITYAPPLE⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Stitcher: http://bit.ly/FindingFertilitySTITCHER Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0BMtwCvdyR4aJyfSfcKh6i   🍍HELP SUPPORT THE SHOW🍍 You can shop for your favourite fertility support products over on: Seeking Health:https://bit.ly/FFSeekingHealth & Amazon:http://bit.ly/FindingFertilityAmazon   Anything written or said about health and diet are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, through trial and error, study, reading, listening and observing.

“What dictates your future is how you continue to move through these things. The more you can up-level, the more you can clear what’s in your way, the easier it is to live in these realities that haven’t manifested yet.” The concept of the morphic field and how it relates to fertility How personal experience creates new realities of possibility The power of meditation to release fear, resentment, and control patterns Aligning with a new frequency to shift the fertility journey Releasing stuck emotions and rewriting limiting stories The presence of spirit babies and the abundance of pregnancy energy Practical reminders to be the ultimate observer in daily life “This meditation isn’t just about feeling what we want in the future. It’s first feeling what’s holding us back that won’t allow us to step fully into that field with confidence.” Other Great Podcast: Morphic Field: Breaking Free from Infertility Blocks: The Key to Reclaiming Faith & Empowered Choices Hello Beautiful So here’s the deal — you say you’re doing all the right things, following all the protocols, eating the kale, and white-knuckling your way through every fertility suggestion Instagram throws at you… yet deep down, you’re still feeling stuck. Why? Because you’re dragging around old stories, fear, and control patterns like a carry-on you refuse to check. In this episode, we’re diving straight into the morphic field of possibilities — that juicy energetic space where pregnancy, spirit babies, and infinite creation already exist. (Yes, it’s real. No, it’s not just for the woo crowd. Science even calls it a field of possibility. You’re welcome.) I’ll guide you through a meditation designed to help you actually release the BS holding you back. Expect box breathing, grounding, and some radical honesty with yourself. You’ll feel the energy of thousands of pregnant women, connect with souls waiting to come earthside, and maybe even cry or scream a little. (Both highly encouraged. This isn’t yoga class.) By the end, you’ll remember what I already know about you: your fertility is innate, your baby is closer than you think, and your job is not to overanalyze but to trust, surrender, and step fully into the field that’s already waiting for you. “I wish I could take this belief system, this truth, and place it in your heart to allow it to grow and manifest in your own field.” 00:00 – Introduction & morphic field truth bomb01:23 – What the four-minute mile has to do with fertility02:45 – Creating a new reality of possibility04:13 – Why releasing fear, resentment, and control matters05:11 – The first layer of meditation: letting go of BS07:04 – Radical honesty and emotional release08:39 – Guided meditation begins10:40 – Grounding into Earth & Universe energy13:01 – Heart-centered activation13:52 – Feeling the abundance of pregnancy and spirit babies15:01 – Witnessing stuck stories & emotions18:21 – Releasing density into the light19:04 – Stepping into the infinite field of possibilities21:40 – Aligning your frequency with new realities23:37 – Bringing awareness back into the heart24:08 – Closing affirmations28:00 – Final reflections & reminder to observe daily energy “You belong in the field of life.

“The reality you’re in now can literally not be the reality you’re in in six months.” Topics Discussed: Breaking free from infertility negativity and victim mode How joy, peace, and surrender impact fertility outcomes The role of cellular health, gut healing, and emotional well-being Intuition as a superpower in conception and birth Shifting subconscious patterns and nervous system regulation “When you lighten up, you create more space—and that’s where miracles can happen.” Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here… If you’ve been caught in the loop of endless failed cycles, heavy negativity, and feeling like life is on pause until that positive pregnancy test shows up, this episode is your wake-up call. We’re talking about the trap of victim mode and the invisible cost of living in a constant state of lack. Because let’s be honest, you can have the supplements, the protocols, the perfect diet, and still be stuck if your nervous system and subconscious are hijacked by fear. Think of it like rewinding the same VHS tape over and over—it’s scratched, it’s stuck, and you’re not getting a new ending until you stop pressing play on the old story. When you begin shifting even 1% toward joy, peace, creativity, and living a life that lights you up—everything changes. Your body feels safer, your energy expands, and yes, your fertility can follow suit. This isn’t about perfection or pretending everything’s okay. It’s about consciously creating moments of freedom, love, and alignment, even in the thick of TTC. If you’re ready to drop the control freak spiral, reclaim your intuition, and open space for something radically different, this is the conversation that could flip your entire journey on its head. Press play and let’s dive in. “Intuition and discernment are your ultimate superpowers when it comes to fertility.” Timestamps: 02:47 The power of letting go of obsessing over your fertility and living life fully. 06:20 How shifting your life and making it easier can transform your fertility journey.  09:50 The unexpected role of joy and play in conception and why your reality can look completely different in six months.  12:47 How to protect your peace and listen to your intuition to shorten your journey and save your sanity. 15:53 How intuition protects you during medical interventions that can cause traumatic experiences.  “You don’t need perfection—just a little bit better, a little more joy, and a whole lot more trust.” Full Transcript Over on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/finding-fertility-pregnancy-success-over-35-with-ainsley-part-two  Connect with Ainsley: IG: https://www.instagram.com/ainsleymoir/ Let's Do This Together 💚 Monica Message me DREAMS to access your free Fertility Breakthrough Session: Email: monica@findingfertility.co [not .com 🤣] Instagram: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityIG  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@findingfertility TikTok: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityTikTok    🌺 Book Your Fertility Breakthrough Session Today here: https://calendly.com/findingfertility/discoveryconsultation?month=2022-10   🎙 Subscribe on your favourite podcast platform:⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Apple: http://bit.ly/FINDINGFERTILITYAPPLE⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Stitcher: http://bit.ly/FindingFertilitySTITCHER Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0BMtwCvdyR4aJyfSfcKh6i   🍍HELP SUPPORT THE SHOW🍍 You can shop for your favourite fertility support products over on: Seeking Health:https://bit.ly/FFSeekingHealth & Amazon:http://bit.ly/FindingFertilityAmazon   Anything written or said about health and diet are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, through trial and error, study, reading, listening and observing.

“You don’t have fertility issues, you have a gut health issue.” Topics Discussed: How parasites and gut health impact fertility The emotional toll of trying to conceive while traveling Supplements, diet, and the overwhelm of doing “all the things” Why surrender is the hardest but most powerful shift Releasing control and shifting fertility timelines “There’s no magic off switch for surrender—you just have to practice showing up differently every day.” Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here... Let's get one thing straight right out of the gate: what if your "fertility issues" are actually a massive, screaming gut health issue in a clever disguise? That’s the mic-drop truth we’re sitting with today from a powerful conversation with a woman who lived it. We’re diving into the raw, real story of Ainsley, who did ALL the things—the packing cubes overflowing with supplements, the obsessive charting, the perfect prenatals—and still found herself heartbroken every single month. She was the epitome of the overachiever, trying to control every outcome, and her body was having absolutely none of it. It wasn’t until a parasite (yes, a literal gut-wrenching invader) forced her to stop and truly listen that everything shifted. This is about trading the white-knuckle control for a soul-deep surrender, and realizing that sometimes the most radical act is to just… let go. This episode is a loving, sassy reminder that your body isn’t broken; it’s trying to tell you something. If you’ve ever felt like you’re trying to solve a puzzle with missing pieces while wearing a blindfold, you need to hear this. We’re talking about finding safety in your nervous system, changing the narrative from lack to proof, and how your little one is already teaching you lessons before they even arrive. Get ready for some serious truth bombs and a huge sigh of relief. Press play. “Life always finds a way if we give it the opportunity.” Timestamps:  01:58 Ainsley’s fertility journey, the parasite that wrecked her gut health and fertility, and finally becoming pregnant.  06:49 The crushing weight of monthly disappointment, the all-consuming obsession, and the radical power of surrendering control.  10:12 The control patterns and overanalyzing everything, and how she learned to enjoy the journey.  14:07 How gut health contributed to her healing, plus the proof points and mindset shifts that change everything. 12:20 The psychological toll of constant travel and feeling "unsafe" on conception.  18:09 The power of releasing control and surrendering the timeline to reduce stress.  “Our babies teach us lessons before they even arrive—and control is usually the first one.” Full Transcript Over on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/finding-fertility-pregnancy-success-over-35-with-ainsley-part-one  Connect with Ainsley: IG: https://www.instagram.com/ainsleymoir/ Let's Do This Together 💚 Monica Message me DREAMS to access your free Fertility Breakthrough Session: Email: monica@findingfertility.co [not .com 🤣] Instagram: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityIG  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@findingfertility TikTok: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityTikTok    🌺 Book Your Fertility Breakthrough Session Today here: https://calendly.com/findingfertility/discoveryconsultation?month=2022-10   🎙 Subscribe on your favourite podcast platform:⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Apple: http://bit.ly/FINDINGFERTILITYAPPLE⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Stitcher: http://bit.ly/FindingFertilitySTITCHER Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0BMtwCvdyR4aJyfSfcKh6i   🍍HELP SUPPORT THE SHOW🍍 You can shop for your favourite fertility support products over on: Seeking Health:https://bit.ly/FFSeekingHealth & Amazon:http://bit.ly/FindingFertilityAmazon   Anything written or said about health and diet are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, through trial and error, study, reading, listening and observing.

“Grief isn’t just emotional, it’s cellular.” Topics Discussed:  Unacknowledged grief and its impact on fertility Miscarriage, IVF failure, and invisible layers of loss How grief gets stored in the body and nervous system Science-backed effects of unresolved grief on hormones and immunity Real-life stories of grief showing up as physical symptoms in children Learning to honor and process grief for deeper healing “Grief is not a sign of weakness; it’s proof that you loved and believed in something.” Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here. Today we’re getting raw about a topic no one prepares you for on this fertility journey—grief. Not just the grief of miscarriage or failed IVF, but the invisible grief that creeps into your body, your friendships, your sex life, and even your sense of self. The kind of grief that lingers in your tissues like an unwanted guest and quietly shuts down your body’s ability to receive life. I share how grief can dysregulate your hormones, suppress your immune system, and trap you in fight-or-flight—making you feel like no matter how “perfect” your diet or protocol is, something still isn’t working. I get personal about losing my dad, watching grief show up as pneumonia in my child’s lungs, and realizing that our bodies will always find a way to express what we refuse to feel. This isn’t about fixing yourself or bypassing the hard stuff. It’s about giving grief a seat at the table, so it no longer hijacks your energy in silence. If you’re tired of holding it all in, if you’ve been “strong” for too long, this episode is your permission slip to soften, to feel, and to heal. Press play and let’s talk about the grief no one talks about—but every fertility warrior knows too well. “If you don’t face the grief, it stays stuck. And stuck grief blocks life.” Timestamps: 01:23 The invisible layers of grief in fertility struggles and why you need to recognize grief. 03:58 The science of how grief dysregulates the body and blocks fertility even when you’re doing everything right.  05:26 The story of losing my father and how grief showed up as physical illness in my children. 09:54 The miscarriage I processed alone, and the long-term impact of pushing grief away. 13:08 Understanding that unprocessed grief and stored trauma can turn into a deeper health risk than diet or lifestyle.  15:30 The importance of learning to honor and process grief for deeper healing during your fertility journey.  “You weren’t broken, you were doing the best you knew how—and that’s all you can control.” Full Transcript Over on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/why-ignoring-grief-keeps-you-stuck-in-infertility-how-to-finally-break-through  Let's Do This Together 💚 Monica Message me DREAMS to access your free Fertility Breakthrough Session: Email: monica@findingfertility.co [not .com 🤣] Instagram: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityIG  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@findingfertility TikTok: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityTikTok    🌺 Book Your Fertility Breakthrough Session Today here: https://calendly.com/findingfertility/discoveryconsultation?month=2022-10   🎙 Subscribe on your favourite podcast platform:⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Apple: http://bit.ly/FINDINGFERTILITYAPPLE⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Stitcher: http://bit.ly/FindingFertilitySTITCHER Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0BMtwCvdyR4aJyfSfcKh6i   🍍HELP SUPPORT THE SHOW🍍 You can shop for your favourite fertility support products over on: Seeking Health:https://bit.ly/FFSeekingHealth & Amazon:http://bit.ly/FindingFertilityAmazon   Anything written or said about health and diet are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, through trial and error, study, reading, listening and observing.

"You have to get sick of your own shit before you can make radical change. No shortcuts, no excuses." Topics Discussed: Fertility burnout & emotional loops Radical self-awareness and inner frequency Energy and mindset shifts for conception Unlearning societal and personal expectations Practical joy-based strategies for fertility Your nervous system is listening to every thought, every feeling—get out of the loop or it keeps running your life. Hello, beautiful souls. Monica here... If you’ve ever felt like your fertility journey is a relentless hamster wheel, you’re not alone. In this episode, I continue part two of my conversation with Diane Flores as we dive deep into how emotional looping, control freak spirals, and toxic productivity can hijack your body’s ability to conceive. We’re talking about the cellular level, the stuff nobody else wants to tell you, where your joy, boundaries, and radical honesty are actually medicine. We break down the real work: not just yoga, meditation, or the “full moon ritual” hype, but how to show up in your mundane life with presence, awareness, and self-love. Diane shares her own journey of letting go of the story that her value depended on perfection and performance, and how tiny shifts in mindset, movement, and energy recalibration can literally change your fertility. This episode is for the women ready to stop white-knuckling, to stop comparing, and to start leaning into the magic of their own body’s wisdom. Expect laughter, tears, and some straight-up, unapologetic truth. Press play and let’s do this together—you’re not broken, you’re just human, and your next chapter is waiting. The more you shift your inner frequency, the more the world around you starts to shift too. Timestamps: 02:58 How to move past the negative loop and find joy in the mundaneness of life.  06:26 The importance of unlearning old stories and creating a life that serves you.  10:28 Diane on how she shifted her mindset through meditation, self-awareness, and radical honesty.  13:27 Daily energy practices and check-ins you can adopt as foundational fertility work.  18:17 The power of releasing control and how that impacts conception and relationships.  25:14 Diane shares the lonely and difficult journey of motherhood and how it taught her the importance of investing in herself.  Your reality is made up, but you are the creator—stop controlling, start leaning in, and watch everything respond.  Full Transcript Over on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/the-real-block-to-fertility-success-breaking-free-from-control-stress-infertility-struggles-with-diane-flores-part-two  Connect with Diane Flores: Health and Hot 7 Day Challenge- https://www.bossbitchradio.com/healthy-hot-challenge Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/dianeflores_ifbb_pro/ Podcast: https://www.bossbitchradio.com/podcast Let's Do This Together 💚 Monica Message me DREAMS to access your free Fertility Breakthrough Session: Email: monica@findingfertility.co [not .com 🤣] Instagram: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityIG  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@findingfertility TikTok: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityTikTok    🌺 Book Your Fertility Breakthrough Session Today here: https://calendly.com/findingfertility/discoveryconsultation?month=2022-10   🎙 Subscribe on your favourite podcast platform:⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Apple: http://bit.ly/FINDINGFERTILITYAPPLE⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Stitcher: http://bit.ly/FindingFertilitySTITCHER Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0BMtwCvdyR4aJyfSfcKh6i   🍍HELP SUPPORT THE SHOW🍍 You can shop for your favourite fertility support products over on: Seeking Health:https://bit.ly/FFSeekingHealth & Amazon:http://bit.ly/FindingFertilityAmazon   Anything written or said about health and diet are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, through trial and error, study, reading, listening and observing.

“If you can dance on a stripper pole, you can do anything.” Topics Discussed: Why control and masculine energy block fertility Movement, strength training, and feminine power Nervous system healing for conception Reclaiming joy and cellular health in fertility “You can’t heal your fertility while living like a robot.” Hello Beautiful, Monica here… Let’s get real. If you’re stuck in the infertility loop, white-knuckling every supplement, every meal plan, every fertility protocol—chances are you’re living in overdrive. You’ve been taught control equals safety. But in reality? That hyper-masculine energy is hijacking your nervous system and shutting down your flow. This week, I sit down with Diane, who went from teen mom to pole dance studio owner to strength coach—and her story is pure proof that women can alchemize struggle into power. We talk about pole dancing as medicine (yes, seriously), how movement cracks open confidence, and why so many women trade joy for control without even realizing it. Spoiler: control is just an illusion, and your womb knows it. If you’ve been carrying resentment toward your body, obsessing over timelines, or looping in that same “why not me” story—this episode is your mirror. It’s raw, it’s cheeky, and it’s a loving call to unclench, release, and remember: your fertility thrives on joy, not burnout. Press play. Your nervous system (and your future baby) will thank you. “Joy isn’t a luxury. It’s a fertility strategy.” Timestamps:  02:10 Diane shares her background story and life experiences, and how they have shaped her passion for empowering women. 12:00 The invisible mental load women carry and the importance of taking radical responsibility to change your life.  14:40 Understanding the hidden cost of operating from a place of masculine energy and how to stop.  18:00 She explains how she learned to show up for herself and stopped operating with masculine energy.  22:41 The importance of learning that the magic is in the journey, doing what you’re supposed to without forcing things.  26:32 The power of choosing joy and flow as medicine for your fertility journey.  “Your cells are listening to every emotion you feed them.” Full Transcript Over on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/the-surprising-fertility-strategy-you-haven-t-tried-joy-strength-emotional-healing-during-infertility-with-diane-flores-part-one  Connect with Diane Flores: Health and Hot 7 Day Challenge-https://www.bossbitchradio.com/healthy-hot-challenge Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/dianeflores_ifbb_pro/ Podcast: https://www.bossbitchradio.com/podcast Let's Do This Together 💚 Monica Message me DREAMS to access your free Fertility Breakthrough Session: Email: monica@findingfertility.co [not .com 🤣] Instagram: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityIG  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@findingfertility TikTok: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityTikTok    🌺 Book Your Fertility Breakthrough Session Today here: https://calendly.com/findingfertility/discoveryconsultation?month=2022-10   🎙 Subscribe on your favourite podcast platform:⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Apple: http://bit.ly/FINDINGFERTILITYAPPLE⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Stitcher: http://bit.ly/FindingFertilitySTITCHER Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0BMtwCvdyR4aJyfSfcKh6i   🍍HELP SUPPORT THE SHOW🍍 You can shop for your favourite fertility support products over on: Seeking Health:https://bit.ly/FFSeekingHealth & Amazon:http://bit.ly/FindingFertilityAmazon   Anything written or said about health and diet are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, through trial and error, study, reading, listening and observing.

“Resentment is like emotional cement. If it hardens, it clogs your flow.” Topics Discussed:  Resentment in fertility struggles and IVF trauma Emotional burnout and subconscious patterns blocking pregnancy Partner resentment and navigating unequal fertility burdens Transforming resentment, grief, and anger into clarity and power “You cannot logic your way out of resentment. You have to feel it, name it, speak it.” Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here... Let’s get real: resentment is that hot, heavy energy that creeps in when you’ve been holding it together for too long. It’s the quiet rage when your partner doesn’t “get it,” the sting when another woman gets pregnant doing all the wrong things, or the heartbreak of feeling like your body betrayed you. Resentment builds in silence, in over-giving, in minimizing your truth—and it will block your fertility just as much as poor egg quality or high cortisol. Resentment isn’t just an emotion. It’s an energy that hardens, clogs your flow, and eventually becomes a cellular issue—tight fascia, hormonal misfires, nervous system chaos. You can eat the kale and do the yoga, but if resentment is looping like an old VHS tape in your cells, your body won’t feel safe to conceive. The only way through? Radical honesty, naming your truth, and alchemizing the pain into power. This is about cleaning up your emotional junk drawer before you step into motherhood. Because bitterness is not the inheritance your baby is calling for. Love, joy, presence—those are. So press play, get radically honest with yourself, and start shifting resentment into clarity, power, and a womb space that feels safe again. “Where have you swallowed your truth? That’s where resentment is living.” Timestamps: 01:58 How resentment shows up toward partners and women who “have it easier” in their journey. 03:08 The resentment that shows up from feeling betrayed by your body and dismissed by the system.  04:25 How resentment hardens into disconnection and blocks conception. 06:05 The lonely truth of the fertility journey and how resentment impacts cellular health and hormones. 08:59 How to identify resentment, plus tools for alchemizing it into clarity and empowerment.  “We’re not carrying bitterness into motherhood. That’s the old version of you.” Full Transcript Over on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/why-resentment-is-draining-your-fertility-energy-how-to-finally-break-free  Let's Do This Together 💚 Monica Message me DREAMS to access your free Fertility Breakthrough Session: Email: monica@findingfertility.co [not .com 🤣] Instagram: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityIG  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@findingfertility TikTok: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityTikTok  🌺 Book Your Fertility Breakthrough Session Today here: https://calendly.com/findingfertility/discoveryconsultation?month=2022-10   🎙 Subscribe on your favourite podcast platform:⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Apple: http://bit.ly/FINDINGFERTILITYAPPLE⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Stitcher: http://bit.ly/FindingFertilitySTITCHER Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0BMtwCvdyR4aJyfSfcKh6i   🍍HELP SUPPORT THE SHOW🍍 You can shop for your favourite fertility support products over on: Seeking Health:https://bit.ly/FFSeekingHealth & Amazon:http://bit.ly/FindingFertilityAmazon   Anything written or said about health and diet are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, through trial and error, study, reading, listening and observing.

"Choose your hard. The medical rut that keeps you powerless, or the radical responsibility that brings you back to life." Topics Discussed: Egg quality myths and what science really shows Synthetic supplements vs food-derived support for fertility Nervous system, trauma, and the hidden impact on hormones Functional medicine vs outdated fertility protocols How cellular health and autophagy support conception Breaking the cycle of burnout and medical gaslighting "Doctors are still running junky 80s science while your body is asking for the truth." Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here. In this episode, we continue part two of our conversation with Leslie Kenny. Let’s get real for a second. Most fertility clinics are still serving up recycled science from the 80s, handing out the same tired lines: “Your eggs are bad, your only hope is IVF.” Meanwhile, your body is quietly whispering, “Feed me, regulate me, stop drowning me in synthetics.” This conversation with Leslie goes straight into the cellular level—where fertility actually begins. We talk oogenesis, autophagy, hormones, and why food-derived spermidine is a fertility ally while synthetic versions can wreck the very ovaries you’re trying to support. We call out the medical gaslighting that tells you your thyroid doesn’t matter, that your trauma doesn’t count, that lifestyle is irrelevant. Spoiler: all of it matters. This isn’t about buying into another protocol. This is about reclaiming your biology, listening to your nervous system, and realizing that your fertility struggle is not proof of being broken—it’s your invitation to wake up to radical self-responsibility. The cherry on top might be the baby, but the real win is the long, vibrant life you create for yourself and your family. Press play. Let’s rewrite the fertility script. "Pregnancy isn’t a health certificate. Stop believing that just because you got pregnant, you’re thriving." Timestamps: 01:40 Synthetic vs. natural spermidine and the danger of taking synthetic supplements.  04:30 Understanding cortisol, hormones, and the fertility-stress connection.  07:24 The egg quality myths, medical gaslighting, and the power of taking radical responsibility to change your health. 11:05 The impact of trauma, cortisol, and chronic inflammation on the nervous system.  17:13 We discuss conscious motherhood, which starts at conception, and breaking generational patterns.  19:08 How you can reverse biological age and take care of yourself to live a happy and longer life as an older mom.  22:53 The power of practicing balance, listening to your intuition, and honoring wisdom from ancestral health. "Your nervous system is the hologram running the show. If you’re not healing, start there."

“Your fertility is innate. Your body knows what to do.” Topics Discussed: IVF burnout, failed treatments, and emotional recovery Autoimmune conditions and how they impact fertility The role of thyroid health in fertility success Lifestyle shifts: diet, sleep, stress, movement, trauma therapy Reversing biological age for reproductive health Why patience and time can be your fertility superpower “I spent over $100,000 on IVF and got pregnant naturally after healing my thyroid.” Hello Beautiful. Monica here, and today’s episode is proof that your body is not broken, even if IVF made you feel like it is. Leslie and I dive into the messy, honest truth about fertility treatments, autoimmune chaos, and what happens when you stop outsourcing your power to doctors and start listening to your own body. She was told donor eggs were her only shot. Five rounds of IVF, tens of thousands of dollars, specialists across the world—and still nothing. But once she discovered the missing link (a thyroid wrecked by autoimmune disease) and actually supported her body instead of suppressing it, everything changed. She got pregnant naturally at 43. No charts, no meds, no needles. Just balance, presence, and trust. This conversation is going to ruffle some feathers, because we’re calling out the control freak spirals, the fertility industry scare tactics, and the toxic “just stay positive” advice that leaves women burnt out and disconnected. What you’ll hear instead is radical honesty, a reminder that your biological age is not your destiny, and a soul-deep permission slip to slow the hell down and let your body lead. Press play now. Your ovaries, your womb, and your nervous system are waiting for this one. “Patience and time are the two great healers—and yes, even in your 40s, it’s still possible.” Timestamps: 01:57 Leslie’s IVF story: 5 failed rounds, autoimmune diseases, and hidden thyroid damage.  06:15 The perfect storm blocking fertility: stress, poor sleep, diet, and disconnection.  10:15 The fertility industry’s lies about age and why cellular health matters more when dealing with infertility.  12:44 The dangers of over-controlling your body and how to find balance instead.  18:10 The long-term health effects of IVF, the truth about epigenetics, and the importance of taking care of your cellular health.  20:40 Leslie explains how she reversed her biological age from 39 to 21 and how you can reverse your fertility age.  23:47 The science of spermidine, cell renewal, fertility longevity, and the overall health of a mother.  “You’re not wasting time by healing—you’re buying back years of fertility and life.” Full Transcript Over on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/from-failed-ivf-to-natural-pregnancy-the-real-fertility-breakthrough-doctors-don-t-tell-you-with-leslie-kenny-part-one  Connect with Leslie Kenny: https://www.instagram.com/lesliesnewprime/ https://oxfordhealthspan.com https://oxfordlongevityproject.org https://oxford-healthspan.myshopify.com/FindingFertility Your 15% off: FINDINGFERTILITY15 Let's Do This Together 💚 Monica Message me DREAMS to access your free Fertility Breakthrough Session: Email: monica@findingfertility.co [not .com 🤣] Instagram: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityIG  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@findingfertility TikTok: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityTikTok    🌺 Book Your Fertility Breakthrough Session Today here: https://calendly.com/findingfertility/discoveryconsultation?month=2022-10   🎙 Subscribe on your favourite podcast platform:⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Apple: http://bit.ly/FINDINGFERTILITYAPPLE⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Stitcher: http://bit.ly/FindingFertilitySTITCHER Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0BMtwCvdyR4aJyfSfcKh6i   🍍HELP SUPPORT THE SHOW🍍 You can shop for your favourite fertility support products over on: Seeking Health:https://bit.ly/FFSeekingHealth & Amazon:http://bit.ly/FindingFertilityAmazon   Anything written or said about health and diet are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, thr

Peace never came from numbers or outcomes. My body was asking to be heard, not fixed.    Topics Discussed IVF’s emotional and somatic impact on the body Trauma stored in the fascia, the womb, and the nervous system Functional freeze during fertility treatments Difference between consent and true emotional safety How presence and sovereignty change your IVF experience Preparing your nervous system for fertility treatments The body doesn’t forget what it wasn’t given space to process. Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here. This episode is not about protocols or lab results. It’s about what no one tells you when you’re moving through IVF—the way your body keeps score, not in numbers, but in tension, tightness, and silence. I share my personal journey of realizing how deeply my body had been overridden in the name of doing everything “right,” and how I finally saw the truth hiding underneath the scans and blood draws. We’re talking about the residue. The frozen places. The subtle ways your body whispers “no” while your mind keeps saying “yes.” IVF isn’t just another dental checkup. It’s intimate, invasive, and sometimes downright disorienting. And if no one teaches you how to stay present, your nervous system quietly takes the hit. This conversation is raw, it’s tender, and it’s probably the thing you’ve been feeling but didn’t have words for. If you’ve been moving through treatments and still feel unsettled, exhausted, or disconnected, this episode is your permission slip to stop abandoning your body. Press play and discover how everything changes when you bring your body with you. Sovereignty isn’t about rejecting treatment. It’s about refusing to abandon yourself in it.

Supplements become very expensive pee if you’re not lowering your inflammation. Topics Discussed: Spirit babies and soul contracts in fertility journeys Outsourcing vs embodying personal empowerment Desperation, intuition, and fertility choices Radical honesty in healing and coaching Inflammation, nervous system health, and IVF readiness Why joy and self-worth are essential for conception If you’re looking for a yes person, I’m not her—and that’s exactly why my clients heal. Hello, Beautiful! Monica here, and today, Abigail and I are diving straight into the messy, magical, and often misunderstood world of spirit babies, soul contracts, and the radical honesty required on your fertility journey. This isn’t a fluffy conversation about dates and genders—this is about the deeper layers of healing, the work that either sets you free or keeps you stuck in a desperate cycle of searching for answers outside yourself. I share real client stories that will make you rethink what “empowerment” actually looks like, from the woman who rewrote her soul contract and turned her health around, to the one who slipped into outsourcing her power and missed the point of her own growth. Abigail and I peel back the curtain on why people crave black-and-white answers, when the truth is found in the gray—in your daily choices, your willingness to do the work, and your courage to face radical honesty. At the end of the day, fertility isn’t just about getting pregnant. It’s about reclaiming your joy, dismantling old narratives, and refusing to let desperation dictate your path. If you’ve ever asked for a quick fix or begged for someone to give you the “right answer,” this episode is your reminder: the only magic lies in showing up for yourself. Press play and let’s get real. The worst thing isn’t not becoming a mom—it’s losing yourself while trying. Timestamps: 01:49 Spirit babies, soul contracts, and stories about when spirit baby readings do more harm than good.  06:40 The IVF desperation and the real reason clients get stuck after intuitive readings.  12:00 We explain why you’ll never get a sugar-coated yes from us or the answers you want to hear. 18:00 Why lack of joy is a major fertility block, plus learning how to show up authentically in your fertility journey.  23:10 Understanding that the ultimate goal of this fertility journey is to show up for yourself with or without kids. 30:17 What no one tells you about soul contracts and spirit babies' choices.  32:05 How to use readings for empowerment and without losing your own intuition.  Stop outsourcing your empowerment—you are the only one who can do the work.

If you keep identifying as the woman who struggles, you’ll stay stuck in that struggle. Topics Discussed Identity and subconscious patterns in infertility Why control and overdoing sabotage fertility Nervous system regulation and daily triggers Emotional spirals, jealousy, and comparison Radical responsibility in breaking fertility patterns Consistency in the practices that create lasting change You’re not infertile, you’re dealing with a fertility issue and deeper patterns of control, fear, and self-worth. Hello, beautiful souls. Today, we’re cracking open one of the juiciest truths I wish I had known earlier in my fertility and motherhood journey: who you believe yourself to be might actually be what’s keeping you stuck. When your identity is wrapped up in “the woman who struggles to conceive,” you unconsciously broadcast that story again and again, and your body follows suit. This episode isn’t about doing more—more diets, more protocols, more supplements. It’s about the radical shift that happens when you stop identifying with the struggle and start collapsing old patterns. From spiraling over triggers to reaching for numbing tools like wine, scrolling, or endless Googling, I’m giving you real talk on how to unhook from the stories that are stealing your energy. Think of it like finally cleaning out the emotional junk drawer—you don’t need another gadget, you need to stop digging in the same clutter. If you’re tired of living in cycles of burnout, control freak spirals, and constant “not enoughness,” this is your wake-up call. You don’t have to be defined by a diagnosis, a failed round, or a past identity. Press play and let’s get you into the frequency of the woman who trusts her body, holds her boundaries, and stops replaying the same old tape. Lasting change doesn’t come from doing more; it comes from dissolving the parts of you that no longer serve who you’re becoming. Timestamps 01:20 Understanding when your identity keeps you stuck in infertility. 03:20 Triggers, spirals, and how to break old narratives that you identify with during your journey. 07:20 How to shift your mindset and choose a new story instead of numbing patterns.  15:03 The importance of letting go of control patterns and being consistent in creating lasting change.  20:3 Unlearning people pleasing, high-achieving, and fertility burnout to rewrite your identity.  27:05 The power of healing and unhooking from identity to become a conscious mama.  How you do one thing is how you do everything—your fertility journey is showing you the patterns that need to shift for life.
