How to get your life back when you're TTC
One of the things I found hardest about struggling through infertility & IVF was how much this journey took over the rest of my life.
Relationship, friendships, work, finances. There wasn’t a single part my life that wasn’t affected.
Everything was put on hold, and I felt like a shadow of who I used to be.
So how do you move past this while still leaving enough time to focus on bringing your baby home? It is such a hard balance to find, and...

What is Your Fertility Doctor Missing?
One of the hardest things to navigate when dealing with infertility is that – you don’t know what you don’t know.
What are the questions you should be asking your doctor?
What if treatments aren’t successful – what happens then? Are there more tests you can do, and where do you go to get the answers?
Being able to advocate for yourself when you feel lost & confused isn’t something that comes easy to a lot of us.
On today’s episode we speak to a special guest who is going to walk...
How to Navigate the Rollercoaster of Infertility
A rollercoaster is the best analogy I can think of when it comes to navigating infertility.
It’s a combination of the most devastating lows, short-lived highs, massive falls and whether you like it or not, you can’t get off.
So while you can’t stop the stress or the emotional ups of downs of this journey, can you learn to navigate it in a way that makes the process easier?

Slowing Down to Receive More on Your Fertility Journey
When you get stuck into the mode of doing whatever you can to support your fertility, it can feel like you’re never able to slow down.
Fitting in appointments, eating right, making sure you take all your supplements, exercising, tracking your cycle…it’s endless and there is always something more you think you should be doing.

What if slowing down, doing less & taking a huge step back could lead you closer to your baby?

Th...TTC When You Don't Have a Menstrual Cycle with Lindsey Lusson

Why we don't talk about donor conception with Lisa Schman
As a society, I think we are slowly becoming more and more open about fertility issues. Slowly!
But there is one part of this journey that I feel isn’t spoken about enough, that seems like the last area we don’t want to discuss – and that is donor conception and surrogacy.
It’s something we’re not given a lot of information about, and if you’re at the point in your own journey where this is something you need to consider, it’s hard to know where to turn.

"Thinking positively" to get pregnant
You hear this time & time again when you’re TTC:
"Just stay positive!"
"Just keep trying!"
"I know it’s going to happen for you!"
And it gets to the point where you feel like you HAVE to think positively in order to manifest what you want.

Setting Your Intention to Bring Your Baby Home in 2025
When you're on the infertility rollercoaster, the new year can feel like a reminder that you're still not where you want to be.
So many people at this time of the year are intent on setting new year's resolutions. But here's what I don't like about a 'resolution' - it feels so finite, like another mark on your to-do list. Something else you have to get done. And the last thing you need is a longer to-do list when you're TTC.
Instead - I love the expansive feeling of...
