The End of Gatekeeping in Wellness | EP 13
The Anxious Girl Podcast
Have you ever started something just for fun and realized it was exactly what you were meant to do? That’s how The Anxious Girl Podcast began for me. When I hit record for Season 1, I had no idea what this show would become. It started as a creative outlet, a space to share what I’ve learned about anxiety, the nervous system, and healing. Now, after connecting with incredible guests and diving deep into somatic and holistic approaches, I’m more inspired than ever. In this season finale, I reflect on what I’ve learned, the power of solo episodes, and where we’re headed next. Season 2...

info_outlineFeeling blindsided by fertility setbacks while your anxiety spikes with every single “negative”?
Welcome to the Anxious Girl Podcast and in this conversation with Michelle Strong, RHN & fertility specialist, we bridge the gap between reproductive medicine and nervous system reality. Michelle shares her raw story, from IUIs to IVF, a life-saving surgery after a ruptured ectopic, and then a surprise pregnancy weeks later and exactly what she now looks for in clients: PCOS patterns, thyroid antibodies, inflammation, insulin resistance, cortisol dysregulation, gut triggers, sleep, and the wildly underrated role of vitamin D activation. We also get into mindset that actually sustains you (not toxic positivity), community when everyone around you is pregnant, and why men must be tested beyond the basics.
Michelle helps women uncover root causes and build evidence-based, hopeful paths to conception—tuning the body for survival and reproduction while protecting the nervous system. If you’re in the fertility trenches, this one’s a lifeline.
