We learn a lot about what Bird & Be has to offer which includes at home fertility testing for both women & men w...

You are not alone. It may feel that way because maybe you are the only one in your inner circle who is in the same stage of someday motherhood as you. Maybe you're the only left single and praying for that future family. Maybe you're the only one waiting to have kids and everyone around is pregnant or a new mom. Maybe you're like me and you're the only one TTC right now and in your TWW (don't know those acronyms - go listen to the episode from April 25 where I explain them all ). Trust me you ar...

It can be so easy to 100% focus on our end goal of becoming a mom and having a baby in our arms. But that only brings anxiety and unfortunately disappointment month after month when that goal is not achieved in the timing we want. In today's episode, I give you some great apps that help me to breathe and be present in my days so I'm not so focused on that end goal.

Today's episode is a short that hopefully encourages you to be excited and joyful and happy and more importantly hopeful in whatever season of Someday Motherhood you are in. Too often, society tells us that we should live in fear and worry and I just don't believe that is true. We need to live in hope, faith and trust and show our excitement, joy and happiness even through the hard - actually especially through the hard so we can inspire and influence others to do the same. -----CONNECT WITH ME ...

I wanted to dive into our faith today. I have thought and said to many people recently that I don't know how I would have gotten through my miscarriage without my faith, without the Word, without trusting that God is good and He promises He will bring good to those who believe. Trusting Him has helped me through so many hardships over the last 7 years and it continues to help me through this hard season too. In today's episode, I talk a bit more about faith and then give you a few scripture vers...

On today's episode, I interview Sophia, @ttc.nutritionist, who is a Fertility Nutrition Expert that I met and learned so much from on instagram. We have an in depth conversation about changing our nutrition mindset from eating (and honestly moving too) to be skinny or strong or fast to focusing on building a fertile body. Sophia gives some great information on what we can start doing now to prepare our bodies to be their healthiest when it's time for conception and fertility. Connect with Sophia...

A healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby start BEFORE pregnancy and honestly before conception. Your physical, mental and emotional health are essential for increasing your chances of conception and a healthy pregnancy. Preconception health means taking control and choosing healthy habits. It means living well, being healthy, and feeling good about your life. In today's episode, we begin a conversation about the preconception period and in the coming episodes I will be bringing on guests to help u...

This is a very vulnerable episode. Thank you for being on this journey to motherhood with me. 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage if you are under 40 years old and the statistic is 1 in 3 if you are over 40. It's a pretty sad statistic. I forgot to share in the episode as I was emotional and trying to share as much as I could. The hardest part of miscarriage is not knowing why. We have no idea why it happened but it's likely because it happened so early that it was an chromosomal abnormality w...

In today's episode, I help you understand all the TTC (trying to conceive) acronyms because I know when I started learning more about TTC I was clueless as to what some of this stuff meant. 2WW/TWW : 2WW or TWW stands for "two week wait." Doctors recommend that you wait two weeks after you ovulate — then take a pregnancy test. BBT : BBT, or your basal body temperature, rises after ovulation — monitoring BBT across your cycle can tell you once ovulation has already happened. BFP/BFN : BFP stands ...

Overwhelm When inundated with too many demands on your time and energy, it can become impossible to think clearly and act with purpose We often experience overwhelm when too much is happening that feels outside of our control. Life throws way too many curve balls at once, triggering fear and inducing a stress response in the body and mind. Sometimes the body overreacts. The body’s stress response is the same whether we are in physical danger or not. Once we understand the science of what happens...

Take BBT temp as soon as I wake up 2. Throw on cozy robe 3. Fill a glass of 16 oz of water and chug (wakes up all of your organs) 4. Make...

In today's episode, we talk about the peace that we want to feel during every phase of our cycle. We are not supposed to be full of energy and power and motivation every single day of our cycle yet we think we are and get mad when we aren't. I know you know what I mean. There is power in listening to our bodies and resting when it's telling us to rest. Trusting that it will only last a short amount of time and we will get our energy and motivation back. Super excited to chat with you about this ...

In today's episode, we dive into my favorite habit and one I was easily able to keep on vacation. This is what my life used to look like. Wake up after lots of snoozing, rushing to get ready, so tired, grab a cup of coffee and run out the door. Or better yet, run out the door, go through the drive through to grab a coffee and a muffin. Then more coffee mid-morning cuz I’m still tired and hungry but don’t want to eat again until lunch so coffee will hold me over. What I didn’t realize is that was...

If we spend so much time worrying then it’s really hard to actually take action. We google it. We call our mom. We ponder over it. We talk to our spouse. We text our best friend. We overthink, doubt and worry about something that might not even happen. It becomes overwhelming and in turn we shut down and don’t do anything at all about it. Am I right? When we think or ponder or worry too long then it ends up becoming unimportant. We need to stop doubting and just take action. Listen to your gut a...

Being hopeful is about developing a state of mind that believes we can have a brighter future tomorrow even when things are not looking good today. It’s trusting that God really does have a plan for our lives. He designed a life specifically and uniquely for each one of us and having faith in that is having hope. We have to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Some ideas to practice being hopeful - look back on past wins -A good habit to begin is to remind yourself each morning tha...

Let’s define habits. Habits are the small decisions you make and actions you perform every day. According to researchers at Duke University, habits account for about 40 percent of our behaviors on any given day. What you repeatedly do (i.e. what you spend time thinking about and doing each day) ultimately forms the person you are, the things you believe, and the personality that you portray. Today we’re going to talk about breaking bad habits and developing new habits. But the main thing I want ...
