Your Journey to Fertility
Jennifer Edmonds
Do you feel like you've tried everything to fall pregnant but nothing seems to help?
You've tracked your cycle, timed sex perfectly, switched up your diet, seen all the specialists but it still hasn't happened...
While most fertility podcasts focus on current tips to help you fall pregnant, Your Journey to Fertility covers the latest scientific research - but we also go deeper into your mindset, your subconscious & the more "woo-woo" ways you can support your body & your baby.
There are countless modalities that are scientifically proven to help increase your fertility - nutrition, supplementation, mindfulness & Eastern medicine to name a few. But there's also an element to conceiving your baby that goes beyond what we can see - and this is where the spiritual side of fertility support comes in.
Welcome to Your Journey to Fertility - the only podcast that blends both science & spirit to give you all the tools you need to navigate your fertility journey.
For over 15 years, Jennifer Edmonds has been guiding women on their journeys to motherhood and beyond. She is the leading authority on mind-body programs for fertility support and assisted conception.
Jennifer has helped hundreds of women trying to conceive:
- Move through the pain & frustration of infertility
- Reclaim joy in their lives & their relationship
- Heal their connection with their bodies
- Get a positive pregnancy test after believing it would never happen
This podcast is here to help you do the same.

70: Why we don't talk about donor conception with Lisa Schman
Your Journey to Fertility
02/10/25 • 36 min
As a society, I think we are slowly becoming more and more open about fertility issues. Slowly!
But there is one part of this journey that I feel isn’t spoken about enough, that seems like the last area we don’t want to discuss – and that is donor conception and surrogacy.
It’s something we’re not given a lot of information about, and if you’re at the point in your own journey where this is something you need to consider, it’s hard to know where to turn.
On today’s episode we are speaking with Lisa Schuman, an expert in donor conception & surrogacy. Lisa, LCSW, is a published author, licensed therapist, award-winning researcher and the only therapist chosen to testify before the State Senate Judiciary Committee to legalize compensated surrogacy in New York. Lisa is the host of the podcast, Building Your Family, author of the book, Building Your Family: The Complete Guide to Donor Conception. and creator of the Building Your Family community platform, the only expert-created education and support community designed to provide the latest tools and evidence-based guidance to help you become more informed at any point of your journey, from preconception through parenthood.
So she knows her stuff!!
By the time you finish listening, you'll find out:
- What the process looks like when using a donor or surrogate
- Why we often don't talk about choosing this path
- How to navigate conversations with family, friends and planning for what you may tell your child one day
You can connect with Lisa via her website, Instagram, or check her podcast Building Your Family

18: Why "Just Relaxing" Won't Help You Get Pregnant
Your Journey to Fertility
04/22/24 • 13 min
If you have been trying to conceive for 6 months or more then no doubt someone has said you need to “Just Relax!” (if i had a dollar...). In today’s episode I’m going to share exactly why relaxing isn’t going to help you fall pregnant, so you can start focusing on the things that will.
How many times have you been told you just need to “relax a bit more” as you’re struggling with infertility?
While things like booking a holiday, going for a massage & spending a day at the spa might make you feel better in the short term, they’re not going to reduce your stress & anxiety levels for very long.
Why? Because stress is a little more complicated than that. A few massages are no match for the stress that comes with months or years of infertility. In today’s episode, I’ll explain exactly what stress is and how it affects your body (and your fertility) so the next time someone says “just relax” you’ll know exactly how to respond to them.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL FIND OUT:
● The science behind stress & why saying “just relax” isn’t going to change how your body responds to stressful situations
● The 5 reasons why this isn’t so simple
● How you can actually focus on the things that will make a difference to the anxiety of trying to conceive
