Badass Fertility

For today's episode we're diving back into the Badass Fertility Podcast archives to share one of my all time favorite episodes. We're talking about the power of affirmations to support OR sabotage your efforts to get and stay pregnant. We hear a lot about positive thinking to help you through the struggle to conceive. But we often get misled about exactly why and how it works... and when it doesn't. Or worse yet, when it backfires. Today's episode is critical if you want to learn how to use the power of words to support, not sabotage your success on this journey.

When we think about getting pregnant, it’s always focused on the physical body.  But what about the role the mind plays in the body? We forget the tremendous toll that stress, anxiety and depression play upon our nervous system. And we pay a high price for that forgetfulness.  Women diagnosed with (my least favorite word) “infertility” experience stress, anxiety and depression levels much higher than in the mainstream population. This is cause for concern in itself.  But what makes things worse, is that those mental states have physical repercussions that negatively impact fertility.  So, women given this diagnosis are now at a double disadvantage because they’re already struggling, but being labeled “infertile” makes it even harder to conceive because of the observable impact that diagnosis has on the nervous system. It’s like a total catch 22.  Thankfully, there’s a science backed way out of this mess, and I’m going to break it down for you on today’s podcast.  This is Part One of a three part series where I’m breaking down the 3-pillars behind the BFP's 60% pregnancy rate in our most recent cohort.

Meet Nita and Penny. These two badass ladies could've stopped after the first, second, or third failed IUI, but they didn't. They could've given up after a chemical pregnancy, but they didn't. They could've said f*ck this when their sperm donor's junk got lost in transit on transfer day, but they kept going. These two amazing women knew they were meant to be moms and kept saying YES even when the universe was throwing serious curve balls. On today's episode they reflect on their journey to motherhood and what helped them get there. Like this podcast? You'll LOVE my masterclass: From Burnt Out to Badass happening Wednesday May 8th.

One essential thing that we don’t have nearly enough of on this journey is TRUST. Often we stop trusting our body; we stop trusting our choices; we stop trusting that one day our baby will be in our arms. Instead, we begin counting numbers, statistics and odds. We use the past as a predictor of the future, and it does not look good.  In this podcast we explore: ·     Why evolution makes us prone to think we’ll never succeed on this journey ·     What science has to say about increasing the odds of conception ·     Three essential habits that women who succeed on this journey have on lockdown. ·     Why going through your fertility journey alone decreases your odds of success.   If you like the podcast, you will LOVE my masterclass! We have tons of fun. Join my free, live masterclass here: From Burnt Out to Badass.

The stress of trying to conceive is incredibly heavy, and one thing that often makes it harder is not knowing how or what to share with your friends.  We often experience a stigma around struggling to get pregnant which makes it nearly impossible to share about it without feeling self-conscious or afraid of being judged.  Even though women who are diagnosed with infertility experience stress levels comparable to that of people diagnosed with life threatening disease like cancer, heart disease and HIV, our loved ones don’t always treat us the same.  We fear being told to "just relax" or "stop trying so hard", or we're casually advised to try whatever our sister’s friend’s, cousin did to get pregnant. Over and over again, our very valid fears are brushed off with, “it’ll be okay” leaving us wishing we never shared in the first place.  That’s one of the reasons why support groups are so helpful for women on the TTC journey (In fact, they’ve been shown to increase conception rates by up to 50%).  And, if you’re looking for one, click HERE to get on the waitlist for mine (with a 60% pregnancy rate from our most recent cohort). But, even if you join an amazing support group, you still have relationships that you need to navigate and want to feel good about.  Today’s episode will tell you the REAL reason it’s so hard to share and then walk you through 5 steps to take to improve how you communicate with loved ones so you can feel better and live better while you’re working to bring home your baby. Have you heard about my free live Masterclass coming on May 8th? From Burnt Out to Badass will take you through my proven technique (I call the 3 R's) to help calm the chaos in your brain, bring clarity to your journey and improve your life, all of which help you live better and bring your baby home faster.

Do you feel angry when your period is about to start? Do you snap at your partner more? Do you tend to overcommit when you’re ovulating? Do you even know when you’re ovulating? Our cycles and their impact on us tend to be invisible. We sort of have a vague idea of PMS, but the rest is generally off our radar (at least it was for me for most of my life, lol).  However, paying attention to our entire cycle can unlock blocks between us and our babies, and it isn’t very hard or time consuming to do! On today’s show, Kate Nguy shares a few simple tools we can use to make a huge impact on our menstrual health.  We dive deep into the flow of the female menstrual cycle uncovering some hidden truths that can be life changing. Kate shares her incredible fertility story, including 3 ectopic pregnancies, how she went on to defy dire odds ultimately conceiving and carrying three healthy babies, naturally.  Her journey inspired her to learn more about how living in harmony with our menstrual cycle, rather than struggling against it, can actually optimize fertility and make life SO much better simultaneously.  In this episode we discuss: ·     Kate’s experience with ectopic pregnancy and how she beat the odds (to have 3 kids!). ·     What is hormone hacking and how can it help you get pregnant? ·     How knowing your menstrual cycle will help you understand your emotions and improve your relationships. ·     Why progesterone, testosterone and estrogen affect us at different phases of our menstrual cycle. ·     How understanding the role of these hormones empowers us to structure our lives to optimize fertility. ·     Why fear, doubt and negativity can’t hurt you as long as you follow this simple rule. ·     How to listen to your body and use it alongside logic to make decisions that bring you closer to your baby.   Connect with Kate!

When you get good news on this journey, how do you respond? If you’re like most women who’re struggling to conceive or carry a pregnancy to term, you try not to get too excited.  Does that sound right? If it does, then today’s show is going to help you feel more comfortable celebrating your wins.  If you’ve experienced something traumatic like miscarriage, failed IVF, a diagnosis of unexplained infertility, or some other horrible thing, then it’s understandable that when a bit of good news comes your way, like a great blood test, a successful egg retrieval or a sign of healthy ovulation, you’re cautious about feeling “too” happy.  Maybe you’re worried that feeling excited now will make it more painful later if things don’t work out? Like by not celebrating it’ll hurt less is something goes wrong? I’m going to tell you the truth right now because I love you and I don’t want you to suffer: it doesn’t help. Being cautious about being happy is like sending a big red flag out to the universe that says, I’m miserable, give me more please. When you celebrate your wins you signal to your body, your mind and the universe at large that you expect more good things to come, and that sets you up to realize those things.  In contrast, when you stay cautious, the sadness of a loss or something not working out on schedule doesn’t hurt less. You just hurt twice: once when you expect it or deny your happiness as a way of “protecting” yourself and the other when whatever thing you feared actually happens. Today we’re talking about what you can do instead of living in this cycle of denial and fear and start living your BEST life while you prepare for baby.   Ready to get serious about bringing your baby home in the next year?

We hear a lot of BS on this journey from our doctors and other “experts”, but sadly, we also tell ourselves a lot of stories that simply aren’t true.  And most of us don’t realize that we’re doing it.  If you’ve had failed IVF treatments, suffered from a miscarriage, been told you have unexplained infertility or any other of the host of things that women experience on this journey, then the odds are that beautiful sneaky brain of yours is feeding you at least one (if not all three) of these common lies.  Have you ever found yourself wondering if you waited too long, if this struggle is your fault, or if you’re being punished for something?  If you said yes to one or more of those questions, then you need to check out this podcast right now. Living in fear, blame and guilt is not only making you miserable it’s also blocking your fertility.  That’s because you can’t make good decisions from a bad place. The more stressed out, guilt ridden and fearful we become, the more our pre-frontal cortex gets overloaded and our thinking literally becomes muddied.  When we’re feeding ourselves a steady diet of thoughts like “I’m too old” or “It’s my fault this isn’t working” we think we’re basing our ideas off of facts, but the truth is they’re reactions to a frightening, high stakes situation.  But we believe them anyway. And that muddies our thinking and the cycle continues.  How do you break the cycle? Poke at the thoughts so you can see exactly how “true” (or UNTRUE) they really are. And that’s exactly what we’re doing together on today’s episode. Join the Waitlist for the BFP Spring Cohort: CLICK HERE Follow me on Instagram @BadassFertility  

When getting pregnant gets hard, we obsess about supplements, diet, exercise, doctors, protocols, sleep, energy and so many more things related to the physical body.  And we assume that those are the only necessary bases to cover. Meanwhile, our minds turn into a toxic waste dump and most of us don’t even realize it’s happening. On today’s episode with guest expert Michelle Oravitz, we’re myth-busting the mistaken belief that our mind plays second fiddle to our body on the fertility journey.  This is an episode you don’t want to miss. It lays out essential information like: ·      Why birth control is an illusionary fix for anything other than preventing pregnancy. ·      Our bodies are hardwired to reproduce, struggling to conceive isn’t a failure; it’s a puzzle to piece together. ·      An open heart opens the uterus to receive. ·      The secret to getting pregnant isn’t having lots of sex when you ovulate; it’s actually at a different time of the month. ·      Loving yourself is not conceited. It’s the key to optimizing fertility.  We dive into so much essential information based on thousands of years of practice built into Traditional Chinese Medicine.  Michelle has 20 years-experience helping women conceive using the systems she talks about today.  And everything she says aligns perfectly with the topics we regularly discuss on this show. It’s so aligned, it’s freaking mind-blowing.  Michelle Oravitz is the host of a top-rated podcast called ‘The Wholesome Fertility Podcast’  She recently authored a new book, The Way of Fertility, which dives deep into the energetics of fertility through the lens of ancient wisdom.  Great News!

We all want to know the fastest way to get pregnant, the secret tricks to boost your fertility or the best way to beat stress and boost fertility. But the truth is, when it comes to a lot of this stuff, different things are going to work differently for different people. That said, just because the things you have to “do” may be different, there is one thing that applies to everyone and it’s the same for everyone no matter what: whether or not you utilize your mindset to optimize your chances of success.  It doesn’t matter if you’re struggling to get pregnant at 28 or 46, you need to know about this ONE thing that is a major game changer. It comes down to this: getting pregnant is less about what you’re doing and more about how you’re being.  Here’s some key takeaways to help break that down: 1.  If you’re doing all the right things, but super stressed about it, that could be working against you. 2.  When you’re trying so hard to be perfect (because who wouldn’t, right?) you’re more likely to make choices that lead you down the wrong path. 3.  If you’re going about getting pregnant the same way you succeeded in school or in the workplace -STOP it right now. 4.  There are 3 Surprising Habits that block your fertility, and they're pretty easy to fix. Download my free Ebooklet that explains them. Three Surprising Habits that Block Fertility Click HERE Stopping these will not only improve your life it'll boost your fertility even if you’re over 35, doing IVF or had failed cycles.

Grief on the fertility journey doesn't just refer to the loss of a pregnancy, although that is traumatic and necessitates healing. It also refers to the loss of a dream. As females, we're raised looking forward to getting married and having kids. It's the tagline to every Disney Princess movie you ever watched -even the empowered ones! So, when you encounter challenges to making that happen, you lose your ability to confidently look forward to that time in your life. There's a part of your dream that dies. That doesn't mean you're giving up. Hell no. If you're reading this and listening to this show, then I KNOW you're NOT giving up. It doesn't matter if you've been diagnosed with PCOS, endometriosis, "old" eggs, thyroid issues, recurrent miscarriage, unexplained infertility or some other awful diagnosis, you're going to become a mom. BUT, the dream of it being simple, splendid and romantic gets crushed under the weight of infertility. Today's episode looks at the intrinsic aspect of grief within every struggle to conceive and offers 5 essential steps for building the resilience required to deal with anything your journey throws at you.

Doubt. Disbelief. Despair. Defeat.  These are just a few of the words that describe how hard it is to be in the TTC trenches.  But it truly doesn’t have to be that way.  In fact, no matter where you are on your journey: struggling with failed embryo transfers, just starting IVF, seeking donor eggs, going at it the old-fashioned way, it’s possible to live your journey with greater confidence and ease.  On today’s show Nancy Weiss joins us to talk about getting out of your head and connecting with our heart in order to bring your baby home. We talk about the importance of making choices not just from a logical place, but from an internal knowing as well. Nancy tells us about Spirit Babies, what they are and why connecting with them often opens up space for making decisions that help bring your baby home.  Nancy is a Reiki Master, psychic medium and intuitive coach who supports women in reawakening their intuition and spirituality by empowering them with energy, mindset and manifestation techniques so they can experience profound transformation, trust themselves and feel confident in making their dreams a reality.  She’s supported hundreds of women on the fertility journey to connect with their destined babies, release blocks, eliminate energy and bring their babies into the world.  On today’s show Nancy sits down to share with us: · How she decided to pursue embryo adoption to manifest her two daughters. ·  How she trusted her gut and “knew it was right” to take the route she took to her daughters. · What is a Spirit Baby? · How can connecting with your spirit baby help bring them earthside? ·  Why it’s important to release the “how” when you’re TTC. · How energy healing can help you feel your feelings and release blocks to your baby. · Why learning to “let it go and let it flow” when you’re doing IVF, IUI, trying naturally, pursuing egg donors, embryo donors, finding a surrogate, or trying to conceive naturally is the best kept secret to bring your baby home.    Check out Nancy’s meditation on YouTube and experience the calm of a mama who knows that her baby is coming.

When you're trying to have a baby and struggling through infertility, IUI, IVF, or have a condition like endometriosis or PCOS or something else, it's really hard NOT to get overly controlling about things. Right? I've been there and I know how much the desire to become a mom can take over your life and make you start trying to be perfect at everything. We know that perfection doesn't equal pregnancy, but (maybe you think) it can't hurt, right? But the problem with trying to be perfect and micromanage every moment is that is can actually get in your way. (Sorry, don't shoot the messenger.) I'm bringing you this episode because I want you to reclaim a part of you that is powerful and incredibly valuable if you're trying to conceive but it's mostly INVISIBLE in today's world. You could go your entire journey without ever learning this, and if that's the case, you might waste time and struggle more. I don't want that for you. I want you to get this NOW, so you can move to your next right step and bring yourself closer to your baby. So, if you're ready to get rid of overwhelm and say hello to a different way of thinking and acting on this journey, you're in the right place my friend. Check out today's episode.

Nobody who’s going through IVF, trying multiple rounds of IUI, taking Clomid, suffered a miscarriage or had a still born child, feels in control.  The very nature of this stuff feels so far out of our control it’s frightening. That means, if you’re anything like me, you dig in your heals and fight tooth and nail to control as much as you possibly can. You try to be perfect, thinking it’ll help you get pregnant. Right? Today's show is here to remedy that pressure, stress and negativity with something much more helpful: a proven strategy to help you stop trying to control the uncontrollable and instead get really clear on what you can control and how to do it. Letting go of what you can't control creates so much more space for freedom, flexibility and focus on what really matters, what really works to get you pregnant in the end. I've got the strategy for doing this, and I'm sharing it on today's show.

If you’ve been diagnosed with infertility, are doing IVF, IUI or trying to conceive naturally, chances are people have suggested you “just think positive” or “repeat affirmations”  While these can be powerful tools, sometimes they don’t help at all and can even work against you.  That’s because words are meaningless and energy is everything. Sometimes saying something over and over can help us FEEL that it’s true, and in that case, you could say an affirmation is working.  But what happens when, no matter how many times you say it, you just can’t believe “my baby is coming” (or whatever affirmation you chose)?  Or, even worse, what happens if saying the affirmation makes you feel bad?  If you’re ready for more than mantras and positive thinking, and you want to get down to the business of what it takes to rewire your thoughts to have them truly work for you while you’re trying to conceive, today’s episode is for you.   The Badass Fertility Group Program (BFP) is still open for one more week.

If you’ve been diagnosed with infertility or are one the 30% of women diagnosed with unexplained infertility then this episode is for you.  Today we’re talking about how emotions, childhood experiences, and even the experiences of your parents and grandparents can impact your ability to conceive and carry to term. If you’re doing IUI, IVF or trying to conceive naturally,  this is empowering news because it places the ability to remove blocks to conception back in your hands.  We all carry scars from childhood and they impact everyone in different ways.  For some of us those scars impact our ability to conceive by creating hormonal imbalances or physical or emotional blocks to conception. When you listen to today’s show, you’ll get a roadmap for unpacking the blocks that may be causing infertility.   If you want to go further and remove those blocks, join the Badass Fertility Program (BFP).

If you’re like every woman who’s ever struggled to become a mom, then pregnancy announcements HURT. Let’s not sugar coat it: when you hear someone else is pregnant, the thought “why her and not me?” immediately goes through your head. Then you feel guilty for not automatically being happy, and you try to cover yourself by pretending to be excited as best you can. Meanwhile, inside your brain, you’re trying to stifle the devilish voice that wants to turn her pregnancy into a sign it’s never going to happen for you. Does any of this sound familiar? The bad news is that our brains are hardwired to go to the negative first.  The good news is that we can rewire them to focus on the positive through strategic and consistent attention. Today’s episode offers an essential hack, that you’ve got to know, if you want to stop feeling like shite every time someone else gets pregnant. Plus, I’m offering this free 10+ page workbook that will explain the science behind our negative thinking, help you identify the thoughts most holding you back, and then show you how to choose new ones.
