Send us a text Toxic positivity? Yeah… we’re done with that. In this episode, we’re breaking the very loud myth that says “you have to stay positive to get pregnant.” Because here’s the truth: You don’t. You just have to be real. This isn’t a sugar-coated episode, it’s a full-body permission slip to stop forcing a smile and start honouring what’s actually going on inside you. Because grief, fear, rage, and even numbness aren’t the problem, suppressing them is. In this episode, we dive into: Why ...

Send us a text There’s grief you plan for. And then there’s the grief that catches you off guard in a pharmacy aisle staring at baby socks. This episode is about that second kind. Today, I’m naming something most people on the fertility journey aren’t warned about: The invisible, cumulative grief of infertility. Not just the grief of pregnancy loss, but the grief of time, of identity, of friendships that change, and of the version of life you thought you’d have by now. We talk about: Why inferti...

Send us a text Often I hear that people just want to feel like themselves again going through infertility struggles.

Today I want to walk you through how to move forward and incorporate all you have been through to date...

Send us a text The Mindfulness space is a wonderful thing that made so many more people aware of how they could help themselves through difficult things in life. BUT far too many people are being sold the idea of a quick fix and end up practicing toxic positivity. They meditate everyday, but still spend the majority of it anxious and trying to be a perfectionist. They say mantra, that make themselves feel okay for a minute, but ignore the fact that their unconscious mind is vehemently disagreein...

Send us a text Male Fertility Issues account for 50% of infertility issues - and yet, to date, there is relatively few resources and options for men to get the same support as women do with the health and mental health sides of fertility.

It's about the realities of what someone go through. Miscarriages are surprisingly common, but one of the most heart-breaking things you can go through. And no two miscarriages are the same. Some you might barely notice and others are extremely physical. And they can be very emotionally and mentally taxing. But I think it is...

And that basic is, actually understanding and accepting your diagnosis or situation in the first place. So many of ...

And they can be a massive source of pain and disappointed and reminder of what we don't have. There are so many ways...
