Episode 140 - The invisible workload of women TTC (and how to get your partner involved)
Fertile Ground: A mind-body approach to getting pregnant - without it taking over your life.
My husband Dan attended a work conference a couple weekends ago in Banff, Alberta. It was a gathering of female physicians with a focus on mental health. I wasn’t there. But it was a shock to Dan that so many women are struggling getting their partners on board with the day to day tasks that make adulting feel so hard. Women do so much. It’s called the “invisible workload” and it encompasses the intangible and often unnoticed tasks and responsibilities involved in managing a household and even more so in your case, the fertility journey. ...

I see you. Way more than you know. You have done so much to try and create this baby. You are so determined, so passionate and so brilliant.

Tracy Lucas ❤️ She held such beautiful space for me on my fertility journey, so I thought — Why not share her with you? Why would I keep her all to...

Episode 137 - 3 things that drive me crazy about the fertility industry
Fertile Ground: A mind-body approach to getting pregnant - without it taking over your life.
I got a little (a lot) spicy in this weeks podcast I’m unleashing a lot of pent up emotions I have about the fertility industry This week's podcast is called: 3 things that drive me crazy about the fertility industry. If you don’t yet know this already — with the exception of a handful of fertility experts — I loathe 90% of fertility advice out there. It DID NOT work for me. In fact, it made me feel farther away from the goal and it made me feel like I couldn’t trust myself. I don’t think most of the “tips and tricks” work for women who are: ...

Episode 134 - The spirit of your baby chooses YOU!
Fertile Ground: A mind-body approach to getting pregnant - without it taking over your life.
Chances are, there’s a totally untrue hierarchy between you and your baby that’s swirling around in your head. Here’s how the ego’s playing this mental story out: Your baby is HIGH up on the pedestal. Maybe even wearing a crown with jewels sipping on the most delicious nectar of milk. And you’re at the bottom, exhausted, trying to claw your way up with all the energy you have. You’re looking up hoping you can earn your worth to them by doing all the things (and doing them with precise perfection) to prove how bad you want it. And this my love… is...

Episode 133 - How real life women TTC let go of their built up fertility shame
Fertile Ground: A mind-body approach to getting pregnant - without it taking over your life.
I used to think my shame was a reaaaallllly good protector of judgment. I used to think, “If I just listened to the orders of my shame – stayed small, pretended everything was fine, kept it all inside – then I wouldn’t have to face judgment.” Meaning, if I silenced my true thoughts and feelings, then no one would know how broken I am. But I was never broken, despite shame making me feel that way. And I never felt more loved then when I let go of my shame, opened my heart and let my authentic feelings be seen and heard. There is nothing more healing than this to the mind...

Episode 131 - Your pain wants to heal you. Here’s how to let it.
Fertile Ground: A mind-body approach to getting pregnant - without it taking over your life.
Vulnerability share: I had a really hard few days last week. For the first time in what felt like forever, I had a lot bubble up inside of my body. At first, I resisted. I pouted. I complained. (Like any other human does at the feeling of deep feels.) But then… eventually… I surrendered. It got me thinking… My God… us human beings have this massive capability of feeling emotions inside of our bodies. To help guide us and process our life experiences. To literally help us become healthier. Admittedly, it’s very hard to feel it. It’s uncomfortable to be present with your...
