Studio Fertility

The longer a journey to conceiving and having a baby take, the bigger fear and anxiety seem to grow in the hearts of amazing women undergoing this ordeal.

And it's totally understandable!  In the face of so much uncertainty around a pretty major life event, or after a miscarriage or any of the other trauma that can come with the territory, it makes fertility challenges pretty challenging.

So today I really wanted to dive into anxiety to explore what it is all about, why it comes about and how you can understand it better so that you can help yourself to reduce it more on your path to holding that beautiful baby of yours in your arms.

I want to show you and give you more choice over your emotions, so you don't drown.

Mind Body Fertility programs definitely improve conception and take home baby rates dramatically.

Plus most importantly they can TRANSFORM your mental and emotional health and help you get your life back.  So you can breath again and feel sane.

But who can benefit from a program like this and who just doesn't?

Today on the podcast, I get super honest with you about who can benefit, what it takes from you to get those benefits, and what I don't promise as a result of doing a program like this and why.

Plus I also reveal the biggest decision I have made for myself that has totally transformed my life.

No matter what you are fearful of around IVF this is the podcast for you to help you to think about IVF differently.

I had a lot of people tell me recently that they were scared of:

- everything 
- the money
- another miscarriage
- medication and effects
- it not working out...

And so much more.

IVF can be scary on many different levels but it can also be an amazing process, so let me walk you through that today.

It's really natural when trying to conceive a baby that we make calculations in our head.

We might start by, "Oh if I get pregnant in this month, then I will be due in that month"  or in the spring or summer.

Then when things progress to pregnancy and miscarriage or starting IVF, we naturally do this math.

But the trouble is, all these numbers get stuck in our heads.  And they can be a massive source of pain and disappointed and reminder of what we don't have.

There are so many ways we can do these calculations that keep us stuck and feeling the extreme pain and misery that we so desperately want to let go of.

So today, I talk about the grief of these numbers and dates and how to process it all.

When your fertility journey has taken you to explore medical options like IUI/IVF and other assisted reproductive methods, it can feel like the last resort.

So when you have a failed cycle the pain can feel pretty raw and bigger.

Today I want to talk to you about how to start to process a failed IUI/IVF cycle and what you can start to do to truly heal so you can move forward with your journey and not take that pain with you.

Going through fertility challenges can be daunting, particularly when we start entering the medical side of it all.

We don't know what we don't know.  

So sometimes the medical world can be tricky to navigate.  And hey, sometimes it's difficult to know what acupuncturist or naturopath is best for you too.

So today, I have put together a list of 7 reasons you might need or want a second opinion as you navigate your fertility path in a way that feels good for you.

The one thing that TTC gives you is NOTHING. BUT. UNCERTAINTY.

Apart from there being no guarantees about the outcomes of whether or not you will have a baby, there is all the uncertainty about what to do and what to try and trying to figure out what is wrong!

There don't seem to be any easy solutions or paths to take.

And then you drive yourself crazy with that uncertainty and become miserable and depressed.

Today on the podcast, I want to talk to you about all your uncertainty.  How to know when you are focussing on the right thing and how to deal with greater levels of uncertainty so you have a chance to maintain or regain your sanity.

Let's face it, when you have dedicated YEARS to trying to achieve a pregnancy,  there might come a point where it feels like you want to give up!

Like you just can't go on anymore.

But as human beings, sometimes we also know that stopping our pursuits is the thing we should be doing.

Just like not everyone becomes a famous actor, not everyone does become a mother and many times not by choice.

So how do you know it is the right time to give up trying to conceive?

And how can you do it in a way that feels okay?

Well today on the podcast, I talk about making this decision, and why possibly it's not right for you to make this decision right now.

Technology and advances in science have enabled us to do so much more in the privacy of our own homes than ever before, which really gives way more power to us as individuals.

And I'm all for it.

And home pregnancy tests really are a part of the fertility journey.  But are you being driven crazy by testing every month?

I know women on the fertility journey who have done 100's of pregnancy tests and today on the podcast I want to show you:

• how those negatives push you further into despair
• how they can corrupt your mind-body connection
• how your brain absorbs the information
• how testing too often can increase your mental and emotional destress
• and how they can actually take away the control you are seeking.

I would never suggest to never test.  But today I want to show you how you might do it differently to strengthen your emotional and mental resilience and increase your trust that you can do this.

Sometimes waiting for things that we know are a certainty is hard enough.  But infertility is about waiting for something that you have no certainty about - and that is mentally taxing.

No matter who I talk to, whether they are 30 or 43, most women feel a time pressure to get pregnant when pregnancy is not happening.

Some people feel the pinch of age. Or pressure from family or society.

Some people feel like they just can't go on anymore and so it has to happen now.

And everything in between.

When we feel so emotionally invested in the outcome, we want these things to happen as soon as possible and we want them to happen YESTERDAY!  When the uncertainty is so great, we want the answers now.

But none of that allows us to reduce our stress and learn to let go so we don't drive ourselves crazy and destroy ourselves in the process.

So today, I'm going to talk to you about how to deal with these feeling so you have the chance to surrender a little bit more.

I know what it is like.

You have that deep desire in your heart for a baby, it won't go away.  And you finally get pregnant only for it to end in a heartbreaking miscarriage.

You don't understand how you came this close and yet it is still even further away to the life and the dreams that you have of having a family.

And now to make things worse, you are afraid of getting pregnant because what if this ends in miscarriage too?

You don't think you can take the heartbreak and go through it all again.

Well today, I wanted to talk to you all about how to lessen the anxiety about getting pregnant again so you have a chance to enjoy your pregnancy when it happens.

Let's be honest, self-worth isn't a pre-requisite for fertility.  But it can definitely hinder your fertility journey in many different ways.

Today I will explore how having greater self-esteem and self-worth can affect your journey and where you might what to put some focus.

The stress, the overwhelm, the obsessive behaviour and thoughts, the sleepless nights, that total chaos that is infertility can boil down to one big thing - FEAR!

We are AFRAID.  Afraid of our emotions and how we are feeling.  Afraid of our thoughts and how dark they get.  Afraid of never feeling better.  Afraid of getting pregnant. Afraid of not getting pregnant.

The fears can be endless and crippling and it's often these that cause us the stress, the overwhelm and the chaos.

So today I wanted to talk to you about your fears.  All of the them.  The small ones and the big scary ones and why and how I think it is important to have a moment of honesty with yourself so you can start to feel more free mentally and emotionally.

Come with me today on a journey as I gently guide you through your fears.

And how they are often just not that scary.

I'm a trained hypnotherapist among other things and recently I've been exploring ever more of what hypnosis and hypnotherapy can do for me and my clients.

Today, I'm going to share with you how I discovered the powerful effects of self-hypnosis and how I used it during one of the most difficult times in my life to find my calm.  The contrast was unbelievable!

All the vast array of amazing benefits you can receive from self-hypnosis and why you may want to consider using it for yourself on your journey.

The difference between self-hypnosis and hypnotherapy.

And how you can start to implement it in to your day in a non-stress, non-fuss, don't need to find any more time in your day way.

So many women and men are suffering because of their infertility diagnoses and journeys.

And it would be fair to say that for a lot of these people they find a distinct lack of understanding of the gravity of the emotional and mental toll that this journey can take on them.

That’s when they get the platitudes – ‘you can have one of mine’, ‘just relax’ and the like.

In an environment that isn’t empathetic to can be hard to heal and carry on.

And so today I wanted to talk about why it IS such a big deal and why we shouldn’t minimise that to ourselves.

And also how you can heal even in unsupportive environments so you can start to feel a whole lot better now.

There are MORE than 3 reasons that you don't need to be perfect to get pregnant but today I just wanted to highlight some of them.

AND talk about what perfectionism can really mean.

I know we tend to think we do  have to be perfect because you are hoping that the fertility diet and the supplements and the whatever else you are doing is the answer and if you try and perform it perfectly then maybe all this pain you are feeling will finally switch off and you can get back to being happy.

But it is unrealistic and exhausting.

Let me show you a better way today.

What do supermarket toilets, California wildfires and perseverance have to do with fertility?

Well, EVERYTHING when it came to conceiving for Ebony Hibbert.  Today I am joined on the podcast by the beautiful and amazing Ebony Hibbert from The Fertility Balance who shares with us in-depth her incredible journey to conceiving.

And how she did it all SOLO!

Solo Motherhood is definitely a great option to starting a family for many women, and Ebony walks us through her journey of Egg Freezing at 36 to starting her solo journey at the age of 39 with all the pitfalls and challenges she endured along the way.

And why she believes community is SO essential.

And how her journey went from desperation to mental and emotional strength.

Are you ANGRY at your partner for not making lifestyle changes to improve your fertility outcomes?

I mean, you made a commitment together to have a baby.

But things didn't go as planned.  Now you are researching all the things that you can do to improve your fertility outcomes including lifestyle changes.

Maybe you have made a bunch of them but then you see your partner still seemingly doing whatever they want.

Or maybe they don't need to make changes but you do and they continue to eat and drink in front of you in a way that isn't supportive to your changes?

Whatever is going on, it can bring about a lot of ANGER and RESENTMENT!

So today, I wanted to talk about how to mitigate that anger so you can come together and actually make lifestyle changes together without it turning bitter.
