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

I was coaching my radiantly pregnant (45 year old) mama inside of our FMBM coaching call, and she had been sold the same lie that I was while TTC. That pregnancy (and motherhood) are a walk in the park and that you should be beaming with gratitude 24/7 and that everyday you should feel like you’re JLo in the middle of one of her romance movies. Cute, bubbly, daily blow-out hair style and almost fearless. So when we get pregnant – and we wake up dry heaving with just enough energy to put together a quick bread and cheese sammie, while anxiously anticipating the next ultrasound – we wonder if there’s something that we’re doing wrong. Luckily for my client, all the tools she’s learned to become pregnant, she is now applying to pregnancy. She’s primed her nervous system for pregnancy, before it even happened. She’s feeling more equipped for the sensations she’s experiencing in pregnancy. Here’s one thing I want you to take in and if you do... things can change for you real fast: Your fertility journey is here to expand your energetic capacity for pregnancy – by training your nervous system to tolerate a greater range of sensation. This is important to know because we all experience challenges, intense emotions and uncertainty while TTC. And we respond to these experiences with resistance and thoughts like, “This shouldn’t be happening to me.” or “I shouldn’t be feeling this way.” or worst, “I can’t do this.” when you absolutely can ❤️ These sacred moments are grooming your mind and body for conception. I recorded a podcast – Expanding your nervous system capacity for pregnancy – to explain more deeply what I mean, how to do it and how my program Fertility Mind-Body Mastery was designed to prime your nervous system for both peace and pregnancy. This one will blow your mind and make your life a helluva lot easier. Listen now!

Episode 142 - It’s okay to do the fertility journey differently

One of the main teachings inside of my book, Fertile Ground, is that:

There are 1000’s of different paths you can take to conceive your baby

The problem is that we get caught up in how we’re supposed to do it according to culture and the mainstream fertility industry.

For example, think about how people usually talk about getting ahead in education and business. Most people will tell you the way to go is to head off to a four-year college and get that degree. But there are tons of other routes, like vocational training, online courses, or just learning on your own.

Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs are both college dropouts. Beyonce and Oprah didn’t even bother.

There is another way. Life is a LOT more abundant than that one, narrow path culture convinces you to take.

Problem is, most people stick to the traditional and “acceptable” way of doing things, even though there are plenty of other paths that will lead to a similar (if not better) destination.

We’re trained to do this, even if the mainstream path causes:

Burnout
Stress
Overwhelm
Or just doesn’t feel right.

This week’s podcast is to reveal to you that there is another way to your baby. Another approach.

I know – first hand – how scary it is so go against how everyone else is doing it.

But I also know – first hand – that I would not be where I am today, if I continued to follow what everyone else did.

Me and my nature were not made for the normal way of doing things. And if you’re reading this, I don’t think you were either.

We’re safe to be different.

Episode 144 - Are you taking action towards your baby, from love or from a wound?

Have you ever caught yourself wondering if all the actions you’re taking—doctor visits, acupuncture appts., constant diet adjustments, or endless google/instagram research — is truly helping?

Or... are they just distractions from deeper feelings you might have about yourself and your fertility?

I spent 8 long years caught in that loop, thinking that if I just did more, I’d finally get what I wanted. But the truth is, it wasn’t about doing more... it was about something MUCH deeper

In today’s kick off episode of the new season of the Fertile Ground podcast – we dive into a crucial question:

Are you taking action towards your baby, from love or from a wound?

I share my own struggles with this question, and how I learned to take action from a completely different energy that I believe made the journey 1000 times easier, made me happier AND more fertile.

This isn’t about shaming yourself for feeling overwhelmed or lost. It’s about recognizing that you can shift your energy from a wounded state—where you believe you need to prove your worth with a positive test—to a loving one, where you learn to embrace who you are, quirks, diagnosis, years TTC and all.

Trust me when I say: This particular topic inside of this podcast will save you years of heartache.

Curious? You’ll discover powerful steps to start choosing love over fear, including:

3 steps to take to take action from love over a wound. And how to know the difference.
Why your monkey mind is full of shit. And how to spot the BS.
3 questions to ask yourself to build your self-worth. Again, this is what gets you off the TTC

By the end of this episode, you’ll not only feel more clear-headed but also more connected to your body. Plus, I share how you can dive deeper into this work with my program, Fertility Mind-Body Mastery. Imagine waking up every morning feeling like you’ve already found what you’re looking for, even though you’re not pregnant... YET!

Please don’t miss this episode.

Listen now and let’s journey together.
