How can you make sense of your fertility journey - and process everything that’s happening along the way? Especially when you haven’t (yet) made it to the other side. For writer Eveline Broekhuizen, the answer was writing a book. On this episode of the podcast I talk with Eveline how writing a book helped her understand and deal with the challenges of fertility treatment. We also discuss the importance of taking a break every now and then, following your own path and staying with the feeling of surrender.

Episode 67 - A writer's take on (in)fertility

As we’re slowly making our way to the end of 2023, it’s important to reflect on how your year has been - fertility wise. What were some of the times you felt really supported and nourished and what were times where you felt really depleted and moving along along, dark road? On this episode of the podcast, I discuss how this will help you set your fertility intentions for 2024 and why that’s so important. None of us chose this journey, but you do have some control over how you feel along the way. And setting the right intentions is THE key first step.

Episode 68 - The importance of setting intentions for fertility

The end of the year can be a difficult time when you’re trying to conceive. Another year has gone by without you having a baby to show for it. You’re surrounded by ads and movies that show you what real domestic bliss looks like. And you may be dreading the parties and family gatherings where the conversations revolve around everyone’s kids and where you can expect intrusive questions about your own family situation. 

On this episode of the podcast, I talk with Meg who runs the popular Instagram account @for_the_barreness. We discuss how you can create holiday rituals that actually make you feel good, how to survive the holiday parties and the importance of setting the right intentions for 2024. We also discuss our favorite books of 2023 and how Meg recently met Daniet Radcliffe. I admire Meg for her vulnerability and all the wisdom that she has to share!

Episode 69 - Surviving the holiday season

One of (in)fertility’s hardest lessons is that - however hard you may work to get pregnant - you’re ultimately not in control of your life. And that is not an easy lesson to learn. On this episode of the podcast - which was originally recorded as part of the Law of Positivism podcast series - I am interviewed by integrative healer Shereen Öberg. Shereen just completed a thesis on how women use spirituality and religions to cope with the difficulties they encounter on their fertility journeys. We discuss how her findings inform the class that she will teach this during my upcoming Fertility Winter Retreat. I also provide a quick walk-through of the program.
