Episode 169 - HELD IN HER STORIES: Dana Stopped Waiting. Life Didn’t.
Fertile Ground: A mind-body approach to getting pregnant - without it taking over your life.
Okay so this isn’t one of those “just checking in 😇” message. It’s the last day to join FMBM. Like, ever. No reopening. No “maybe later.” It’s *closing time* 🎶 And I wanted to send something that actually felt like me. Which is why I’m ending the HELD IN HER STORIES series with a story from a lovely FMBM graduate, Dana. Dana talks about how, very quickly into TTC, the pressure took over. How age narratives, fear, and scarcity turned something so special into an emergency. She joined FMBM because even more than wanting a baby, she wanted herself back. ⭐️How...

Fertile Ground: A mind-body approach to getting pregnant - without it taking over your life.
If you’ve ever hit that one-year mark and thought, “Okay. That’s it. Something’s wrong with me…” this episode is going to land in all the cells of your body. In today’s Held in Her Stories episode, I sit down with Chelsea — one of the incredible women inside Fertility Mind-Body Mastery — and she lets you into the real behind-the-scenes of her journey: Not the polished Instagram version.

Fertile Ground: A mind-body approach to getting pregnant - without it taking over your life.
If you’ve ever thought… ⭐️“I should be further along by now.” ⭐️“Once I finally get pregnant, then I’ll feel okay.” ⭐️“If I don’t control this, it won’t happen…” …then this week’s Fertile Ground episode is for you.

Episode 166 - HELD IN HIS + HER STORIES: Rebuilding trust in your marriage while TTC
Fertile Ground: A mind-body approach to getting pregnant - without it taking over your life.
If we’re honest… for a lot of us, TTC quietly turns our partner into a project. Did you take your vitamins? Don’t get in the hot tub. Drink more water. Not that beer. Let me just manage literally everything so this can finally work. On top of tracking, appointments, and Google spirals… you end up carrying the mental load for you, your body, and your partner. And suddenly, the person you fell in love with feels more like… a fertility coworker you’re constantly correcting. 😬 Today’s podcast is medicine for that part of the journey. 🎧 New episode: Held in His & Her Stories...

Episode 165 - HELD IN HER STORIES: When control stops working
Fertile Ground: A mind-body approach to getting pregnant - without it taking over your life.
Ahhh – you don’t want to miss this one! The 2nd episode in our HELD IN HER STORIES series is for the woman who’s smart (Like, scientist smart), resourced, doing all the things… and still feeling anxious underneath it all. Today I’m talking to a member of FMBM with a PhD who came into fertility like it was a science experiment — 5 rounds of IVF, deep in the research, treating her body like a problem to solve. And then she walked through IVF and miscarriage… and had to learn how to trust her body again after loss. This convo is raw and so, so validating. We get into: That belief:...

Episode 164 - HELD IN HER STORIES: Amber’s Story – Worth Isn’t a Number
Fertile Ground: A mind-body approach to getting pregnant - without it taking over your life.
I’m thrilled to share something brand spankin’ new with you — a special Fertile Ground podcast series called HELD IN HER STORIES. These are real conversations with women inside my program, Fertility Mind-Body Mastery, who are rewriting and rewiring what it means to trust life, their bodies, and themselves. Each story is a living example of what happens when we stop trying to “get it right” and start letting ourselves be held — by the messiness of our emotions, the safety of community, and the unseen forces conspiring in our favor. In today’s chat – I sat down with Amber, a...

Episode 163 - Support doesn’t make you weak —it makes you a f*cking force!
Fertile Ground: A mind-body approach to getting pregnant - without it taking over your life.
Let’s talk about a belief that’s quietly running the show for so many brilliant, high-achieving women trying to conceive: ✨ “If I get support… if I make this easier… then I won’t be/feel worthy of my baby.” I believed that for years. But it’s a bullshit lie — and it’s one that’s keeping way too many brilliant, sensitive women stuck in cycles of shame, burnout, and isolation. In this week’s episode, we’re naming it all. The stigma. The pressure. The perfectionism. And we’re diving into the shocking research that reveals just how...

Episode 162 - My hot take on Unexplained Infertility (It’s not what you think)
Fertile Ground: A mind-body approach to getting pregnant - without it taking over your life.
I’ve noticed more and more people online saying “there’s no such thing as unexplained infertility.” That if you just test enough, fix enough, try enough… you’ll find the root cause. And although that may sound comforting to some — I respectfully and fully — disagree. All those years I was TTC, I do not believe my body was missing something that I could have found in a test. I believe I was being asked to trust something deeper. To stop playing the martyr. To stop micromanaging every second of my life in the name of “doing...

Episode 161 - The moment she realized it wasn’t “just her” who wanted this baby…
Fertile Ground: A mind-body approach to getting pregnant - without it taking over your life.
I have to tell you about one of the most powerful full-circle moments I’ve ever witnessed in my coaching career — and now you get to witness it too. In the latest coaching call of the Fertility Mind-Body Mastery, something magical happened. One of my longtime clients — who just completed her third (!!) round of FMBM — shows up to her very last call… with her newborn baby in her arms Baby Daniel. (Yes — partly named after a good man. My husband Dan, actually ) But that’s not even the most touching part. She opens up about a powerful force she felt all throughout trying to...

Episode 160 - When actually getting pregnant feels scary. (Even when you really want the baby)
Fertile Ground: A mind-body approach to getting pregnant - without it taking over your life.
Let’s cut the fertility fluff. You say you want the baby. And I 100% believe you. But the real question is: Does your nervous system—the bodyguard of what gets let in—believe it’s actually safe to receive this? This week’s episode is not for the surface-level manifesting girlies. This is for the woman who’s done so damn much and still feels like she’s stuck in fertility purgatory. Because here’s what no one tells you: Sometimes, it’s not the heartbreak you’re scared of anymore. It’s the vulnerability of letting yourself have it. This episode will hit if: You...
