info_outlineOn today’s solo episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I explore the often-misunderstood world of manifestation, especially as it relates to trying to conceive. If you’ve ever felt guilty for having negative thoughts or wondered whether your mindset is blocking your fertility, this episode is for you.
I break down the energetic and physical layers of manifestation, share how flow state and nervous system regulation impact your ability to create (including fertility), and offer actionable tips for integrating mindset work in a way that supports, not overwhelms, your journey. From ancient wisdom to real-life stories (including how I manifested my dream job and meeting my husband), I share how true manifestation stems from a state of ease, alignment, and wholeness.
Key Takeaways:
- Manifestation is not about toxic positivity or blaming yourself for your fertility journey
- Flow state, deep presence and openness, is the true foundation of creation
- Fertility is an extension of the body’s creative energy and should be supported holistically
- Validation of your emotions is essential, resisting them leads to stagnation
- Aligning body and mind through practices like meditation, journaling, and joy-based activities can help shift your energetic state
- Affirmations work best when they feel safe, believable, and rooted in gratitude
