“I think what I've discovered in the last few years is that you can be doing everything right on the energetic side of things.”
• Feeling like it is the end when you have one embryo left or one last IVF transfer
• Obsessing over fertility numbers and treating them like destiny
• Subconscious gender stories, boy mom identity and beliefs about women
• Spirit babies, soul contracts and staying grounded in your own joy
• Cellular health, frequency and trusting fertility as innate
• Nervous system safety, emotional release and facing hard feelings instead of staying positive
• False surrender, discipline as self love and choosing to live your life while TTC
“Those are just stories we're making up.”
Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be…
In this intimate, behind the scenes coaching session, we walk into the tender place so many women land on this journey. The place where you are staring at your labs, your age, your one embryo left and your brain is screaming, this is the end. I share how I went into my own last frozen embryo transfer with the twins convinced it was my final shot, miscarried, and truly believed I would only have one child. Looking back with the eyes I have now, I can see how much of that was a story, a protection pattern and a total disconnect from the truth that fertility lives in your cells, not in your fear.
We explore gender anxiety, boy versus girl stories, and the sneaky subconscious beliefs many of us carry about women, mothers and ourselves. I talk about growing up with a deeply masculine mother, realizing I subconsciously thought all women were bitches, and why my mentor once told me I literally could not hold the woman frequency yet. We fold in spirit babies, soul contracts, and the very human temptation to outsource our power to readings instead of doing the unsexy work of cellular health, nervous system safety, emotional healing and actual joy.
If you are tired of trying to stay positive, secretly terrified of another failed transfer, or spinning in false surrender while saying you have “let it go,” this conversation is your loving interruption. You will hear practical tools, real stories and a deeply truthful reframe that might finally let your shoulders drop and your heart exhale. Press play if you are ready to believe that this is not the end and that your baby is far more interested in your frequency than your perfection.
“Anyways, that's why it's all about you. The baby doesn't want anything. It wants the same frequency, so coming home to yourself is the best thing you can do.”
Timestamps
00:00 - When you are doing everything right energetically and still stressed before IVF
02:51 - Thinking this is the end after loss and why those stories are not the full truth
10:21 - Boy mom identity, feminine wounds and subconscious beliefs about women
17:57 - Spirit baby readings, soul contracts and not outsourcing your power
26:36 - Facing hard emotions instead of forcing positivity before an IVF transfer
32:45 - Written in the stars, miscarriage guilt and what really affects pregnancy
36:29 - Client story of failed IVF, natural conception and releasing TTC timelines
“This is just a chapter. It is not the end. I'm done trying to conceive. I'm going to live my life.”

Anything written or said about health and diet are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, through trial and error, study, reading, listening and observing. What worked for me, may not work for you. I am not a doctor, nutritionist or dietician and all medical advice should be gotten from a qualified professional. Product recommendations are based on what I used during my infertility journey or wish I had.
"Your fertility is just a reflection of your life. How you’ve lived produced this result. It’s not your fault, but it is your responsibility."
Topics Discussed
The emotional and energetic cost of modern womanhood and chronic overwork
How burnout, stress, and disconnection from joy impact fertility and hormones
The problem with “junk science” fertility myths around age and supplements
IVF and medical trauma, and how to reclaim body trust after disempowering experiences
Gut health as a foundation for hormonal and cellular repair
Reprogramming subconscious blocks that keep you outsourcing power to experts
Using discernment and intuition when navigating fertility protocols
Energetic frequency, emotional coherence, and the cellular blueprint of health
How AI is reshaping fertility support while still requiring human awareness and embodiment
Radical responsibility and the shift from victimhood to empowerment
"No one is coming to fix you. And I don’t mean that harshly—it’s actually the most powerful truth you’ll ever accept."
Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be. This episode goes deep into the burnout and disconnection women face in the name of “doing it all.” We talk about what it really costs to chase success at the expense of joy, peace, and fulfillment—and how those energetic debts eventually show up in your body and fertility. You’ll hear raw truths about medical myths, why intuition is your most underused fertility tool, and how to stop outsourcing your power to experts, protocols, and even AI.
We also explore how emotional patterns and subconscious blocks shape your frequency, your gut health, and your cellular vitality. If you’ve been “doing everything right” but still feel stuck, this conversation will help you see that healing isn’t about doing more—it’s about aligning deeper. The real medicine begins when you get radically honest about what’s not working and start showing up differently.
There’s a little sass, a little science, and a lot of soul. By the end, you’ll understand that your body never betrayed you—it’s just been trying to get your attention. And once you listen, the magic unfolds naturally.
"Instead of asking ‘Why me?,’ start saying ‘I’m glad it stops with me.’ That’s when you shift from pain to power."

00:00 – Why modern success culture is wrecking women’s health and fertility
03:11 – Junk science, CoQ10 myths, and the power of discernment

23:32 – The deeper energetic layers behind unexplained infertility
27:50 – Turning pain into purpose and rewriting your fertility story
"The baby is the cherry on top. The real work is becoming the woman who no longer abandons herself."

“You can’t Type A your way into pregnancy. You can push, but your body will push back.”
Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be...
This episode is packed with truth bombs, science-backed insights, and a big dose of real talk with fertility expert Kristen Karchmer. Together we peel back the layers of fertility burnout and talk about why women who “do everything right” are often the most exhausted, frustrated, and still not pregnant. Spoiler: it’s not your age, it’s your cellular energy.
We dive into the reality that fertility clinics rarely talk about—how rushing into IVF or IUI without repairing the foundation of your health can actually set you back. Kristen shares how fatigue, stress, and even emotional disconnection play a far bigger role than the latest supplement on TikTok. It’s about building resilience, coherence, and a sustainable rhythm that supports both your body and your future baby.
And yes, we go there: the illusion of control, the obsession with apps and trackers, and the collective conditioning that tells women to “do more” instead of “be more present.” This episode is your permission slip to slow down, listen deeply, and start aligning your energy with your body’s innate wisdom. Because fertility isn’t a race, it’s a frequency shift.
“The only way to get a baby out is to surrender. The same goes for calling one in.”
Timestamps
00:00 – Why your frequency matters more than your protocol
06:10 – Listening to your body instead of influencers
09:00 – The illusion of control and the myth of the fertility cliff
12:22 – How surrender prepares you for both conception and motherhood
18:12 – Generational burnout, epigenetics, and fertility
23:45 – Redefining success and rewriting the modern woman’s blueprint
“Surrender isn’t giving up, it’s getting out of your own way so your body can do what it was designed to do.”

“What dictates your future is how you continue to move through these things. The more you can up-level, the more you can clear what’s in your way, the easier it is to live in these realities that haven’t manifested yet.”

How personal experience creates new realities of possibility
The power of meditation to release fear, resentment, and control patterns
Aligning with a new frequency to shift the fertility journey
Releasing stuck emotions and rewriting limiting stories
The presence of spirit babies and the abundance of pregnancy energy
Practical reminders to be the ultimate observer in daily life
“This meditation isn’t just about feeling what we want in the future. It’s first feeling what’s holding us back that won’t allow us to step fully into that field with confidence.”
Other Great Podcast: Morphic Field: Breaking Free from Infertility Blocks: The Key to Reclaiming Faith & Empowered Choices
Hello Beautiful
So here’s the deal — you say you’re doing all the right things, following all the protocols, eating the kale, and white-knuckling your way through every fertility suggestion Instagram throws at you… yet deep down, you’re still feeling stuck. Why? Because you’re dragging around old stories, fear, and control patterns like a carry-on you refuse to check.
In this episode, we’re diving straight into the morphic field of possibilities — that juicy energetic space where pregnancy, spirit babies, and infinite creation already exist. (Yes, it’s real. No, it’s not just for the woo crowd. Science even calls it a field of possibility. You’re welcome.)
I’ll guide you through a meditation designed to help you actually release the BS holding you back. Expect box breathing, grounding, and some radical honesty with yourself. You’ll feel the energy of thousands of pregnant women, connect with souls waiting to come earthside, and maybe even cry or scream a little. (Both highly encouraged. This isn’t yoga class.)
By the end, you’ll remember what I already know about you: your fertility is innate, your baby is closer than you think, and your job is not to overanalyze but to trust, surrender, and step fully into the field that’s already waiting for you.
“I wish I could take this belief system, this truth, and place it in your heart to allow it to grow and manifest in your own field.”
00:00 – Introduction & morphic field truth bomb
01:23 – What the four-minute mile has to do with fertility

21:40 – Aligning your frequency with new realities
23:37 – Bringing awareness back into the heart
24:08 – Closing affirmations
28:00 – Final reflections & reminder to observe daily energy
“You belong in the field of life. You are open to receiving your baby with love, trust, and surrender.”

“The reality you’re in now can literally not be the reality you’re in in six months.”
Topics Discussed:
Breaking free from infertility negativity and victim mode
How joy, peace, and surrender impact fertility outcomes
The role of cellular health, gut healing, and emotional well-being
Intuition as a superpower in conception and birth
Shifting subconscious patterns and nervous system regulation
“When you lighten up, you create more space—and that’s where miracles can happen.”
Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here… If you’ve been caught in the loop of endless failed cycles, heavy negativity, and feeling like life is on pause until that positive pregnancy test shows up, this episode is your wake-up call. We’re talking about the trap of victim mode and the invisible cost of living in a constant state of lack. Because let’s be honest, you can have the supplements, the protocols, the perfect diet, and still be stuck if your nervous system and subconscious are hijacked by fear.
Think of it like rewinding the same VHS tape over and over—it’s scratched, it’s stuck, and you’re not getting a new ending until you stop pressing play on the old story. When you begin shifting even 1% toward joy, peace, creativity, and living a life that lights you up—everything changes. Your body feels safer, your energy expands, and yes, your fertility can follow suit. This isn’t about perfection or pretending everything’s okay. It’s about consciously creating moments of freedom, love, and alignment, even in the thick of TTC.
If you’re ready to drop the control freak spiral, reclaim your intuition, and open space for something radically different, this is the conversation that could flip your entire journey on its head. Press play and let’s dive in.
“Intuition and discernment are your ultimate superpowers when it comes to fertility.”
Timestamps:
02:47 The power of letting go of obsessing over your fertility and living life fully.
06:20 How shifting your life and making it easier can transform your fertility journey.
09:50 The unexpected role of joy and play in conception and why your reality can look completely different in six months.
12:47 How to protect your peace and listen to your intuition to shorten your journey and save your sanity.
15:53 How intuition protects you during medical interventions that can cause traumatic experiences.
“You don’t need perfection—just a little bit better, a little more joy, and a whole lot more trust.”

“You don’t have fertility issues, you have a gut health issue.”
Topics Discussed:
How parasites and gut health impact fertility
The emotional toll of trying to conceive while traveling
Supplements, diet, and the overwhelm of doing “all the things”
Why surrender is the hardest but most powerful shift
Releasing control and shifting fertility timelines
“There’s no magic off switch for surrender—you just have to practice showing up differently every day.”
Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here... Let's get one thing straight right out of the gate: what if your "fertility issues" are actually a massive, screaming gut health issue in a clever disguise? That’s the mic-drop truth we’re sitting with today from a powerful conversation with a woman who lived it.
We’re diving into the raw, real story of Ainsley, who did ALL the things—the packing cubes overflowing with supplements, the obsessive charting, the perfect prenatals—and still found herself heartbroken every single month. She was the epitome of the overachiever, trying to control every outcome, and her body was having absolutely none of it. It wasn’t until a parasite (yes, a literal gut-wrenching invader) forced her to stop and truly listen that everything shifted. This is about trading the white-knuckle control for a soul-deep surrender, and realizing that sometimes the most radical act is to just… let go.
This episode is a loving, sassy reminder that your body isn’t broken; it’s trying to tell you something. If you’ve ever felt like you’re trying to solve a puzzle with missing pieces while wearing a blindfold, you need to hear this. We’re talking about finding safety in your nervous system, changing the narrative from lack to proof, and how your little one is already teaching you lessons before they even arrive. Get ready for some serious truth bombs and a huge sigh of relief. Press play.
“Life always finds a way if we give it the opportunity.”
Timestamps:
01:58 Ainsley’s fertility journey, the parasite that wrecked her gut health and fertility, and finally becoming pregnant.
06:49 The crushing weight of monthly disappointment, the all-consuming obsession, and the radical power of surrendering control.
10:12 The control patterns and overanalyzing everything, and how she learned to enjoy the journey.
14:07 How gut health contributed to her healing, plus the proof points and mindset shifts that change everything.
12:20 The psychological toll of constant travel and feeling "unsafe" on conception.
18:09 The power of releasing control and surrendering the timeline to reduce stress.
“Our babies teach us lessons before they even arrive—and control is usually the first one.”

“Grief isn’t just emotional, it’s cellular.”
Topics Discussed:
Unacknowledged grief and its impact on fertility
Miscarriage, IVF failure, and invisible layers of loss
How grief gets stored in the body and nervous system
Science-backed effects of unresolved grief on hormones and immunity
Real-life stories of grief showing up as physical symptoms in children
Learning to honor and process grief for deeper healing
“Grief is not a sign of weakness; it’s proof that you loved and believed in something.”
Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here. Today we’re getting raw about a topic no one prepares you for on this fertility journey—grief. Not just the grief of miscarriage or failed IVF, but the invisible grief that creeps into your body, your friendships, your sex life, and even your sense of self. The kind of grief that lingers in your tissues like an unwanted guest and quietly shuts down your body’s ability to receive life.
I share how grief can dysregulate your hormones, suppress your immune system, and trap you in fight-or-flight—making you feel like no matter how “perfect” your diet or protocol is, something still isn’t working. I get personal about losing my dad, watching grief show up as pneumonia in my child’s lungs, and realizing that our bodies will always find a way to express what we refuse to feel.
This isn’t about fixing yourself or bypassing the hard stuff. It’s about giving grief a seat at the table, so it no longer hijacks your energy in silence. If you’re tired of holding it all in, if you’ve been “strong” for too long, this episode is your permission slip to soften, to feel, and to heal. Press play and let’s talk about the grief no one talks about—but every fertility warrior knows too well.
“If you don’t face the grief, it stays stuck. And stuck grief blocks life.”
Timestamps:
01:23 The invisible layers of grief in fertility struggles and why you need to recognize grief.
03:58 The science of how grief dysregulates the body and blocks fertility even when you’re doing everything right.
05:26 The story of losing my father and how grief showed up as physical illness in my children.
09:54 The miscarriage I processed alone, and the long-term impact of pushing grief away.
13:08 Understanding that unprocessed grief and stored trauma can turn into a deeper health risk than diet or lifestyle.
15:30 The importance of learning to honor and process grief for deeper healing during your fertility journey.
“You weren’t broken, you were doing the best you knew how—and that’s all you can control.”

"You have to get sick of your own shit before you can make radical change. No shortcuts, no excuses."
Topics Discussed:
Fertility burnout & emotional loops
Radical self-awareness and inner frequency
Energy and mindset shifts for conception
Unlearning societal and personal expectations
Practical joy-based strategies for fertility
Your nervous system is listening to every thought, every feeling—get out of the loop or it keeps running your life.
Hello, beautiful souls. Monica here... If you’ve ever felt like your fertility journey is a relentless hamster wheel, you’re not alone. In this episode, I continue part two of my conversation with Diane Flores as we dive deep into how emotional looping, control freak spirals, and toxic productivity can hijack your body’s ability to conceive. We’re talking about the cellular level, the stuff nobody else wants to tell you, where your joy, boundaries, and radical honesty are actually medicine.
We break down the real work: not just yoga, meditation, or the “full moon ritual” hype, but how to show up in your mundane life with presence, awareness, and self-love. Diane shares her own journey of letting go of the story that her value depended on perfection and performance, and how tiny shifts in mindset, movement, and energy recalibration can literally change your fertility.
This episode is for the women ready to stop white-knuckling, to stop comparing, and to start leaning into the magic of their own body’s wisdom. Expect laughter, tears, and some straight-up, unapologetic truth. Press play and let’s do this together—you’re not broken, you’re just human, and your next chapter is waiting.
The more you shift your inner frequency, the more the world around you starts to shift too.

“If you can dance on a stripper pole, you can do anything.”
Topics Discussed:
Why control and masculine energy block fertility
Movement, strength training, and feminine power
Nervous system healing for conception
Reclaiming joy and cellular health in fertility
“You can’t heal your fertility while living like a robot.”
Hello Beautiful, Monica here…
Let’s get real. If you’re stuck in the infertility loop, white-knuckling every supplement, every meal plan, every fertility protocol—chances are you’re living in overdrive. You’ve been taught control equals safety. But in reality? That hyper-masculine energy is hijacking your nervous system and shutting down your flow.
This week, I sit down with Diane, who went from teen mom to pole dance studio owner to strength coach—and her story is pure proof that women can alchemize struggle into power. We talk about pole dancing as medicine (yes, seriously), how movement cracks open confidence, and why so many women trade joy for control without even realizing it. Spoiler: control is just an illusion, and your womb knows it.
If you’ve been carrying resentment toward your body, obsessing over timelines, or looping in that same “why not me” story—this episode is your mirror. It’s raw, it’s cheeky, and it’s a loving call to unclench, release, and remember: your fertility thrives on joy, not burnout.
Press play. Your nervous system (and your future baby) will thank you.
“Joy isn’t a luxury. It’s a fertility strategy.”
Timestamps:
02:10 Diane shares her background story and life experiences, and how they have shaped her passion for empowering women.
12:00 The invisible mental load women carry and the importance of taking radical responsibility to change your life.
14:40 Understanding the hidden cost of operating from a place of masculine energy and how to stop.
18:00 She explains how she learned to show up for herself and stopped operating with masculine energy.
22:41 The importance of learning that the magic is in the journey, doing what you’re supposed to without forcing things.
26:32 The power of choosing joy and flow as medicine for your fertility journey.
“Your cells are listening to every emotion you feed them.”

“Resentment is like emotional cement. If it hardens, it clogs your flow.”
Topics Discussed:
Resentment in fertility struggles and IVF trauma
Emotional burnout and subconscious patterns blocking pregnancy
Partner resentment and navigating unequal fertility burdens
Transforming resentment, grief, and anger into clarity and power
“You cannot logic your way out of resentment. You have to feel it, name it, speak it.”
Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here...
Let’s get real: resentment is that hot, heavy energy that creeps in when you’ve been holding it together for too long. It’s the quiet rage when your partner doesn’t “get it,” the sting when another woman gets pregnant doing all the wrong things, or the heartbreak of feeling like your body betrayed you. Resentment builds in silence, in over-giving, in minimizing your truth—and it will block your fertility just as much as poor egg quality or high cortisol.
Resentment isn’t just an emotion. It’s an energy that hardens, clogs your flow, and eventually becomes a cellular issue—tight fascia, hormonal misfires, nervous system chaos. You can eat the kale and do the yoga, but if resentment is looping like an old VHS tape in your cells, your body won’t feel safe to conceive. The only way through? Radical honesty, naming your truth, and alchemizing the pain into power.
This is about cleaning up your emotional junk drawer before you step into motherhood. Because bitterness is not the inheritance your baby is calling for. Love, joy, presence—those are. So press play, get radically honest with yourself, and start shifting resentment into clarity, power, and a womb space that feels safe again.
“Where have you swallowed your truth? That’s where resentment is living.”
Timestamps:
01:58 How resentment shows up toward partners and women who “have it easier” in their journey.
03:08 The resentment that shows up from feeling betrayed by your body and dismissed by the system.
04:25 How resentment hardens into disconnection and blocks conception.
06:05 The lonely truth of the fertility journey and how resentment impacts cellular health and hormones.
08:59 How to identify resentment, plus tools for alchemizing it into clarity and empowerment.
“We’re not carrying bitterness into motherhood. That’s the old version of you.”

"Choose your hard. The medical rut that keeps you powerless, or the radical responsibility that brings you back to life."
Topics Discussed:
Egg quality myths and what science really shows
Synthetic supplements vs food-derived support for fertility
Nervous system, trauma, and the hidden impact on hormones
Functional medicine vs outdated fertility protocols
How cellular health and autophagy support conception
Breaking the cycle of burnout and medical gaslighting
"Doctors are still running junky 80s science while your body is asking for the truth."
Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here. In this episode, we continue part two of our conversation with Leslie Kenny. Let’s get real for a second. Most fertility clinics are still serving up recycled science from the 80s, handing out the same tired lines: “Your eggs are bad, your only hope is IVF.” Meanwhile, your body is quietly whispering, “Feed me, regulate me, stop drowning me in synthetics.”
This conversation with Leslie goes straight into the cellular level—where fertility actually begins. We talk oogenesis, autophagy, hormones, and why food-derived spermidine is a fertility ally while synthetic versions can wreck the very ovaries you’re trying to support. We call out the medical gaslighting that tells you your thyroid doesn’t matter, that your trauma doesn’t count, that lifestyle is irrelevant. Spoiler: all of it matters.
This isn’t about buying into another protocol. This is about reclaiming your biology, listening to your nervous system, and realizing that your fertility struggle is not proof of being broken—it’s your invitation to wake up to radical self-responsibility. The cherry on top might be the baby, but the real win is the long, vibrant life you create for yourself and your family.
Press play. Let’s rewrite the fertility script.
"Pregnancy isn’t a health certificate. Stop believing that just because you got pregnant, you’re thriving."
Timestamps:
01:40 Synthetic vs. natural spermidine and the danger of taking synthetic supplements.
04:30 Understanding cortisol, hormones, and the fertility-stress connection.
07:24 The egg quality myths, medical gaslighting, and the power of taking radical responsibility to change your health.
11:05 The impact of trauma, cortisol, and chronic inflammation on the nervous system.
17:13 We discuss conscious motherhood, which starts at conception, and breaking generational patterns.
19:08 How you can reverse biological age and take care of yourself to live a happy and longer life as an older mom.
22:53 The power of practicing balance, listening to your intuition, and honoring wisdom from ancestral health.
"Your nervous system is the hologram running the show. If you’re not healing, start there."

“Your fertility is innate. Your body knows what to do.”
Topics Discussed:
IVF burnout, failed treatments, and emotional recovery
Autoimmune conditions and how they impact fertility
The role of thyroid health in fertility success
Lifestyle shifts: diet, sleep, stress, movement, trauma therapy
Reversing biological age for reproductive health
Why patience and time can be your fertility superpower
“I spent over $100,000 on IVF and got pregnant naturally after healing my thyroid.”
Hello Beautiful. Monica here, and today’s episode is proof that your body is not broken, even if IVF made you feel like it is. Leslie and I dive into the messy, honest truth about fertility treatments, autoimmune chaos, and what happens when you stop outsourcing your power to doctors and start listening to your own body.
She was told donor eggs were her only shot. Five rounds of IVF, tens of thousands of dollars, specialists across the world—and still nothing. But once she discovered the missing link (a thyroid wrecked by autoimmune disease) and actually supported her body instead of suppressing it, everything changed. She got pregnant naturally at 43. No charts, no meds, no needles. Just balance, presence, and trust.
This conversation is going to ruffle some feathers, because we’re calling out the control freak spirals, the fertility industry scare tactics, and the toxic “just stay positive” advice that leaves women burnt out and disconnected. What you’ll hear instead is radical honesty, a reminder that your biological age is not your destiny, and a soul-deep permission slip to slow the hell down and let your body lead.
Press play now. Your ovaries, your womb, and your nervous system are waiting for this one.
“Patience and time are the two great healers—and yes, even in your 40s, it’s still possible.”
Timestamps:
01:57 Leslie’s IVF story: 5 failed rounds, autoimmune diseases, and hidden thyroid damage.
06:15 The perfect storm blocking fertility: stress, poor sleep, diet, and disconnection.
10:15 The fertility industry’s lies about age and why cellular health matters more when dealing with infertility.
12:44 The dangers of over-controlling your body and how to find balance instead.
18:10 The long-term health effects of IVF, the truth about epigenetics, and the importance of taking care of your cellular health.
20:40 Leslie explains how she reversed her biological age from 39 to 21 and how you can reverse your fertility age.
23:47 The science of spermidine, cell renewal, fertility longevity, and the overall health of a mother.
“You’re not wasting time by healing—you’re buying back years of fertility and life.”

Peace never came from numbers or outcomes. My body was asking to be heard, not fixed.
Topics Discussed
IVF’s emotional and somatic impact on the body
Trauma stored in the fascia, the womb, and the nervous system
Functional freeze during fertility treatments
Difference between consent and true emotional safety
How presence and sovereignty change your IVF experience
Preparing your nervous system for fertility treatments
The body doesn’t forget what it wasn’t given space to process.
Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here.
This episode is not about protocols or lab results. It’s about what no one tells you when you’re moving through IVF—the way your body keeps score, not in numbers, but in tension, tightness, and silence. I share my personal journey of realizing how deeply my body had been overridden in the name of doing everything “right,” and how I finally saw the truth hiding underneath the scans and blood draws.
We’re talking about the residue. The frozen places. The subtle ways your body whispers “no” while your mind keeps saying “yes.” IVF isn’t just another dental checkup. It’s intimate, invasive, and sometimes downright disorienting. And if no one teaches you how to stay present, your nervous system quietly takes the hit.
This conversation is raw, it’s tender, and it’s probably the thing you’ve been feeling but didn’t have words for. If you’ve been moving through treatments and still feel unsettled, exhausted, or disconnected, this episode is your permission slip to stop abandoning your body. Press play and discover how everything changes when you bring your body with you.
Sovereignty isn’t about rejecting treatment. It’s about refusing to abandon yourself in it.
Timestamps:
03:02 The breathwork moment that cracked everything open, and I realized that my body wasn’t broken, just unheard.
05:38 How I lived three years in autopilot, chasing numbers and procedures that only disconnected me.
07:37 Understanding why IVF is not just another medical appointment but a highly taxing experience.
08:43 How the body keeps score in the fascia, womb, and nervous system, even without you realizing it.
10:38 How to heal your old IVF treatment trauma and choose it differently next time.
You are not crazy for still feeling things from years ago. That’s intelligence, not dysfunction.

Supplements become very expensive pee if you’re not lowering your inflammation.
Topics Discussed:
Spirit babies and soul contracts in fertility journeys
Outsourcing vs embodying personal empowerment
Desperation, intuition, and fertility choices
Radical honesty in healing and coaching
Inflammation, nervous system health, and IVF readiness
Why joy and self-worth are essential for conception
If you’re looking for a yes person, I’m not her—and that’s exactly why my clients heal.
Hello, Beautiful! Monica here, and today, Abigail and I are diving straight into the messy, magical, and often misunderstood world of spirit babies, soul contracts, and the radical honesty required on your fertility journey. This isn’t a fluffy conversation about dates and genders—this is about the deeper layers of healing, the work that either sets you free or keeps you stuck in a desperate cycle of searching for answers outside yourself.
I share real client stories that will make you rethink what “empowerment” actually looks like, from the woman who rewrote her soul contract and turned her health around, to the one who slipped into outsourcing her power and missed the point of her own growth. Abigail and I peel back the curtain on why people crave black-and-white answers, when the truth is found in the gray—in your daily choices, your willingness to do the work, and your courage to face radical honesty.
At the end of the day, fertility isn’t just about getting pregnant. It’s about reclaiming your joy, dismantling old narratives, and refusing to let desperation dictate your path. If you’ve ever asked for a quick fix or begged for someone to give you the “right answer,” this episode is your reminder: the only magic lies in showing up for yourself. Press play and let’s get real.
The worst thing isn’t not becoming a mom—it’s losing yourself while trying.
Timestamps:
01:49 Spirit babies, soul contracts, and stories about when spirit baby readings do more harm than good.
06:40 The IVF desperation and the real reason clients get stuck after intuitive readings.
12:00 We explain why you’ll never get a sugar-coated yes from us or the answers you want to hear.
18:00 Why lack of joy is a major fertility block, plus learning how to show up authentically in your fertility journey.
23:10 Understanding that the ultimate goal of this fertility journey is to show up for yourself with or without kids.
30:17 What no one tells you about soul contracts and spirit babies' choices.
32:05 How to use readings for empowerment and without losing your own intuition.
Stop outsourcing your empowerment—you are the only one who can do the work.

What worked for me, may not work for you. I am not a doctor, nutritionist or dietician and all medical advice should be gotten from a qualified professional. Product recommendations are based on what I used during my infertility journey or wish I had.
If you keep identifying as the woman who struggles, you’ll stay stuck in that struggle.
Topics Discussed
Identity and subconscious patterns in infertility
Why control and overdoing sabotage fertility
Nervous system regulation and daily triggers
Emotional spirals, jealousy, and comparison
Radical responsibility in breaking fertility patterns
Consistency in the practices that create lasting change
You’re not infertile, you’re dealing with a fertility issue and deeper patterns of control, fear, and self-worth.
Hello, beautiful souls. Today, we’re cracking open one of the juiciest truths I wish I had known earlier in my fertility and motherhood journey: who you believe yourself to be might actually be what’s keeping you stuck. When your identity is wrapped up in “the woman who struggles to conceive,” you unconsciously broadcast that story again and again, and your body follows suit.
This episode isn’t about doing more—more diets, more protocols, more supplements. It’s about the radical shift that happens when you stop identifying with the struggle and start collapsing old patterns. From spiraling over triggers to reaching for numbing tools like wine, scrolling, or endless Googling, I’m giving you real talk on how to unhook from the stories that are stealing your energy. Think of it like finally cleaning out the emotional junk drawer—you don’t need another gadget, you need to stop digging in the same clutter.
If you’re tired of living in cycles of burnout, control freak spirals, and constant “not enoughness,” this is your wake-up call. You don’t have to be defined by a diagnosis, a failed round, or a past identity. Press play and let’s get you into the frequency of the woman who trusts her body, holds her boundaries, and stops replaying the same old tape.
Lasting change doesn’t come from doing more; it comes from dissolving the parts of you that no longer serve who you’re becoming.
Timestamps
01:20 Understanding when your identity keeps you stuck in infertility.
03:20 Triggers, spirals, and how to break old narratives that you identify with during your journey.
07:20 How to shift your mindset and choose a new story instead of numbing patterns.
15:03 The importance of letting go of control patterns and being consistent in creating lasting change.
20:3 Unlearning people pleasing, high-achieving, and fertility burnout to rewrite your identity.
27:05 The power of healing and unhooking from identity to become a conscious mama.
How you do one thing is how you do everything—your fertility journey is showing you the patterns that need to shift for life.

It’s not about what you want in the moment; it’s about what you want most.
Topics Discussed
Type A burnout in motherhood
Nervous system regulation for moms
Balancing health priorities with real connection
Letting go of perfectionism in parenting
Faith, intuition, and holistic wellness
Navigating subconscious beliefs and cultural conditioning
You have to trust yourself, and most people don’t because they look at their life and think they’ve failed.
Hello Beautiful, Monica here, and I’m about to get real with you on a topic that’s way too easy to gloss over—how motherhood can feel soul-suckingly mundane when you’re wired as a high-achiever. We’re talking cleaning the same damn high chair for the fifteenth time and wondering why your nervous system is screaming for a project plan instead of playtime.
We dive deep into how our values can either anchor us or drive us into perfectionist overdrive, especially when it comes to our kids’ health. Melisha explains the trap of putting “perfect” above connection, the guilt that comes from letting go, and why sometimes the Gatorade from the sports snack bag is exactly the right call. It’s about radical honesty, grace for the slow process, and remembering that consistent, sustainable change beats all-or-nothing sprints every time.
You’ll hear raw stories about unpacking subconscious beliefs from childhood, faith’s role in keeping your values steady, and how to stand in your own discernment when the cultural noise around you is deafening. If you’re ready for a conversation that’s equal parts loving nudge and truth bomb, press play now.
Healing isn’t glamorous. It’s showing up for yourself in the mundane, over and over again.

Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be… Today’s conversation is for every mama who’s ever stood in the doctor’s office, heart pounding, wondering if there’s a better way. Milisha shares how a cycle of chronic ear infections with her daughter became the spark that ignited a full-blown wellness revolution. We’re talking Midwest potlucks, antibiotics, intuition, and that brave moment when you decide: I’m going to trust myself instead.
But don’t be fooled—this isn’t another crunchy-mama flex. We go deeper. Into the emotional trenches. Into the people-pleasing, the mom guilt, and the wild realization that your kids don’t mirror your words—they mirror your frequency. That your fertility issues might be your body’s cry for help, not a broken system. And that healing isn’t just about diet or detox... it’s about emotional honesty and energetic alignment.
This episode is a potent reminder: your healing matters. Not just for you, but for your future babies, your nervous system, your lineage. Press play and feel the power ripple through you.

“You're never going to out-energetic your physical issues. And you’ll never physical your way out of ignoring your energy.”
Topics Discussed
What radical responsibility looks like
Low progesterone and overlooked physical blocks
Energetic burnout vs physical imbalances
How to spot where you’ve fallen off the wagon
Getting radically honest with your habits
“You can’t out-energy a physical imbalance—and you can’t out-supplement a lie.”
Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here... and today, we're not sugarcoating it.
This is one of those episodes—the kind that hits deep, stings a little, and heals even more. We're talking radical responsibility. Not the hustle kind. The soul-checking, lunch-skipping, progesterone-isn’t-a-fluke kind.
I had a powerful session with a client who felt like she was doing everything right—tracking, meditating, eating clean—but still stuck in the same cycle. Sound familiar? Here's the truth I had to share with her: You might be doing all the right things, but if you’re ignoring known physical issues like low progesterone or gut imbalances, that spiritual hustle is only getting you halfway.
Your body needs your honesty. Your presence. Your willingness to go one layer deeper, not for punishment, but for peace.
Press play if you’re ready to stop outsourcing your power and take your healing into your own damn hands.
“If your body could talk, she’d say: I’m still here. I’m still fighting. But I need you too.”
Timestamps
[01:36] The meaning of radical responsibility and why it will get you faster to your goal.
[02:50] Why doing everything right still isn’t enough when dealing with low progesterone and ignored red flags.
[05:10] The importance of being radically honest and getting back into alignment with both the physical and energetics.
[07:40] Why you have to go a level deeper to tackle your autoimmune condition and see success quicker.
[09:30] The importance of turning every stone so you never wonder “what if”.
“You’re not meant to be perfect. You’re meant to be proud of how you showed up.”

“Your body isn’t broken. It’s begging you to stop treating it like a failed science project.”
Topics Discussed
Shame, body image, and infertility
IVF shame and subconscious fertility beliefs
Emotional healing after miscarriage and failed cycles
Cellular health and type-A burnout
“If your body wasn’t healing, you’d already be dead. So maybe give her some credit.”
Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here...
This episode isn’t here to sugarcoat. It’s here to shake up the narrative you’ve been told about your body. You’re not broken. You’re not behind. And you sure as hell aren’t a fertility failure. You’re just running someone else’s roadmap—and your body’s been trying to scream over the GPS the whole time.
I get real about a conversation with a client who spiraled into shame after one miscarriage. One. And that single event labeled her “infertile,” shoved her into IVF timelines, and triggered a full-blown identity crisis. We unpack what actually causes that my body is broken loop—and how you can stop living like a walking fertility statistic.
If you’ve been hustling your way to conception, skipping breakfast and skipping joy, this one’s for you. It’s time to ditch the factory and come back home to your body. You deserve better than another checklist. You deserve a damn revolution—press play.
“Your body is still fighting for you even when you're mad at it. Even when you’ve given up.”
Timestamps
[01:23] The importance of realizing that your body isn’t broken and it’s always fighting for you.
[06:00] How to thank your body when you feel like quitting or are too tired to do anything “right”.
[07:20] How one miscarriage led to an IVF rabbit hole and why trying harder is hurting your fertility.
[08:40] Type A burnout, how it ruins cellular health, and the shame the medical system tricks you into.
[10:15] Radical responsibility vs toxic positivity on your fertility journey.
“You think you’re starting over. You’re not. You’re starting aligned.”

"You don’t need more tools. You need to live what you already know—especially in the mundane."
🧠 Topics Discussed:
Why knowledge without embodiment keeps you stuck
Coherence vs. perfection: how alignment creates real fertility shifts
Why doing the energetic work only at retreats or sessions isn’t enough
How to take radical responsibility in your daily routine
The emotional + subconscious patterns still running the show
The real reason it’s not “working” (even when you're doing it all)
"The real work isn’t in the next session, it’s in brushing your teeth and checking your thoughts."
Hello beautiful, Monica here...
If you've ever thought, “I could write a damn book on healing and fertility by now,” but you still feel stuck—this episode is for you. Buckle up, because we’re diving into the sneaky little gap between knowing and doing.
We’re talking about that awkward moment when you realize you’ve done all the meditations, drank the bone broth, bought the fancy supplements, and you’re still Googling "why am I not pregnant?" at 2 a.m. 😬
I get it. I lived it. I am it sometimes.
In this raw episode, I spill what actually created a massive shift—not another protocol, not another healer, but showing up in my everyday life like it actually mattered. Like brushing my teeth while checking my frequency. Like choosing not to spiral on a Tuesday afternoon because a thought told me “it’s not working.”
This is the episode where I tell you: You are not lazy. You are not broken. But if you’re not showing up for yourself in the micro-moments, you’re stuck in the illusion of effort. Let’s bust that lie wide open, yeah?
"Your healing happens in how you do life, not how many tools you’ve collected."
⏱️ Timestamps:
00:00 – Welcome and why this episode is NOT for the faint of heart
01:31 – The myth of healing only happening in the big sessions
03:25 – How to check your frequency in mundane moments
05:24 – Why most people aren’t actually applying what they know
07:15 – Monica’s personal slip back into old patterns & how she got out

12:00 – The four truths of coherence & how they apply to fertility
14:27 – The difference between knowledge & embodiment
15:55 – Micro-moment check-in challenge: are you in default or coherence?
18:53 – Radical responsibility isn’t sexy, but it’s everything
"The magic isn’t in the meditation—it's in how you live when you’re not meditating."
