Detachment in IVF doesn't mean you stop caring—it means learning how to care without losing yourself. In this episode, we explore the art of detachment during stim and transfer cycles, and how grounding helps you return to yourself while holding hope gently, no matter how this unfolds.  
IVF is full of moments we think will finally make it easier — until they don't. In this episode, we talk about the arrival fallacy, why milestones rarely deliver the relief we expect, and how to support yourself through the in-between.
The last embryo changes everything. In this episode, we talk about why "last" feels so heavy, how meaning gets attached to outcomes, and why it doesn't have to end in a positive to matter.  
The in-between — that space between what was and what's next — can feel unbearable during IVF. In this episode, I explore the liminal space: why it's so uncomfortable from both a brain and emotional perspective, and how you can reclaim this time as a meaningful, even sacred, part of your becoming.  
 Explore how Lucky Girl Syndrome and manifestation connect to the neuroscience of the brain's reticular activating system (RAS), and how to use it in IVF without falling into toxic positivity.
In this episode of IVF This, we're reframing self-care during infertility and IVF—not as bubble baths and pedicures, but as the radical act of compassion, gentleness, and holding space for yourself in the midst of this journey.  
 In this episode, we explore assumptive reasoning — the brain's shortcut for filling in the blanks — and how it shows up during IVF. Learn how to recognize when your mind is screaming assumptions, and how to reconnect with the quieter whisper of your intuition instead.  
"Graduating" in IVF can feel like both a victory and a loss. Join me as I unpack the arrival fallacy, normalize the mixed emotions, and share how to build resilience for the road ahead.  
 In this episode, we explore the emotional weight of IVF stim cycles—especially the heartbreak and courage of trying again. I'll share practical ways to support yourself and a calming visualization to help you reconnect with your body through it all.
Feeling out of control during IVF is deeply human. In this episode, we explore "grief power grabs"—the subtle ways we try to reclaim control—and how softening into awareness can offer true relief.  
Join me today as we explore the quiet ache of longing that so often accompanies infertility and IVF. This episode is an invitation to gently name, understand, and reframe the yearning we carry—reminding ourselves that the ache isn't a problem to fix, but a reflection of just how deeply we love and hope.
Join me as I speak directly to the loved ones of those navigating IVF, unpacking the well-meaning but often unhelpful "righting reflex" and offering compassionate ways to truly support someone through infertility.
Join me today as we unpack the most common cognitive distortions and how they show up in infertility and IVF—so you can spot them, soften them, and shift your inner narrative.
Have you ever wondered what good could come out of your infertility/ IVF Journey? Join me today as I explore IVF as a potential pathway to a more intentional life—if and when you're ready to see it that way.  
Doomscrolling during IVF can feel like a desperate search for control, but often, it only fuels anxiety and self-doubt. Join me as I break down why we do it, how it shows up (even with positive content), and practical ways to break the cycle and reclaim your peace.
Emotional muscle memory shapes how we react to infertility and IVF, often keeping us stuck in cycles of fear and disappointment. In this episode, we'll explore how it works, why it happens, and how you can retrain your emotional reflexes to work for you instead of against you.  
 Ever feel like certain thoughts just won't leave you alone? Those little mental whispers—I'm not doing enough, what if this never happens?—stick like Post-it notes in your brain. In this episode, we'll unpack why they're so persistent and how to finally unstick them.
