Episode 127: What if triggers are a GOOD thing?
Triggers = When something externally or internally triggers uncomfortable emotions and/or physical sensations in the body.
In today’s episode I talk about how we have become used to thinking of triggers as a bad thing but actually triggers can be very useful insights to the emotional and energetic clearing work that we need to do.
When we do this we not only enhance our fertility but feel better and more resilient in the moment as we pursue our dream of becoming a parent.

Episode 118: In this podcast episode I discuss the relationships between anxiety, depression, infertility and miscarriages. The studies, which I have included below, paint a very bleak picture. But there is much you can do to support your mental health and well-being while long-term trying to conceive. Two and a half million cycles of IVF are performed globally each year, yet fewer than a quarter of these are successful. Women undergoing infertility treatment experience the same level of stress, anxiety, and depression as women who have cancer, HIV, or heart disease. Research shows post-trauma ..read more
