Episode 121: So many of my clients say to me “I wish I’d found you sooner”. But that’s not what they mean, they mean they wish they had started practising the mind-body techniques that I share sooner so that they felt the relief earlier on in their fertility journey.

Episode 120: While waiting for your baby, does it feel like you're just spinning your wheels? Sometimes you are so overwhelmed and so scared that you can't even think straight, and so you're trying to make decisions and you're researching.
You're on Dr Google, you're on Instagram and everyone's shouting at you and everyone's saying you need to do this to get pregnant, or you need to look at this, or this is the new wonder supplemental. Have you tried this?
And you're like oh my word, like there's just so much out there. And then, on top of that, you're trying to stay positive, trying to stay in the vibe and it feels like this is impossible.
And so you end up planning out and thinking about not just what you're doing now, this cycle, but what your plan B is. And actually, let's just get real, it's not plan B, is it? By this point, those of you that are listening to the Embrace Fertility podcast it's probably like plan J. Plan J all the other plans, a onwards, have not worked.
We're now on plan J and then you're thinking about the plan after that and the plan after that and the plan after that, because that's what we're used to doing.

Episode 119: “My fertility specialist wants me to do IVF next cycle but I don’t feel ready.” I hear this a lot as a fertility therapist and coach. We can feel so anxious and overwhelmed when a fertility specialist or even our partner is pushing us to take the next step forward with treatment but we don’t feel ready. In this episode I share three different mind-body techniques to allow you to make a decision from a place of confidence rather than fear. I discuss how to decide when you should start or continue fertility treatment.

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-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can develop in a third of women after miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy.
Anxiety and depression rates are higher in women diagnosed with Endometriosis and PCOS.
Women suffering from depression, stress and anxiety are twice as likely to have problems conceiving, and women who have experienced at least one unsuccessful IVF cycle and had depressive symptoms before continuing IVF treatment experienced a lower success rate than women who did not experience depressive symptoms.
Couples are more likely to stop trying to conceive, not commence or abandon treatment, due to emotional stress rather than financial constraints or a medical prognosis?
Once you know the above it’s impossible to ignore the fact that if you are going through infertility, treatment or pregnancy loss
YOU NEED TO PROTECT YOUR MENTAL HEALTH
There are so many studies showing that alleviating the symptoms of stress and anxiety improves quality of life and makes it easier for women to become pregnant.
Join us for a FREE exclusive class next Sunday at 8.30pm GMT that will unveil the secrets to understanding the part your mental health plays in your fertility and maximise your chances of conceiving this year.
The Science
Understand the science behind the mind-body link and how it impacts both your mental and physical health and therefore your fertility.
The Studies
Utilise the research and studies that show that prioritising your mental health while trying to conceive greatly improves quality of life and can double your chances of success.
The Tools
I’ll be sharing HOW to start practising techniques from Sunday to support yourself.

Episode 117: Podcast interview with Kevin the founder of The Man Cave a male infertility/mental health advocate. Today we are discussing male infertility and the importance of finding the right coping strategies and support.
Kevin set up The Man Cave to share his story, to reach out to other men going through a similar journey and to help raise awareness of male infertility and mental health.
In this episode:
- Kevin shares his own personal journey of being told he was infertile 10 years ago
- Micro-TESE, Sertoli cell-only Syndrome, donor sperm, IVF and ICSI
- How Kevin helps men who suffer in silence by spreading awareness.
Anxiety and depression
"I’ve been angry, upset, lost and hurting for too long: it’s time to stand up and be counted. That’s when I decided to set up a page on Instagram called ‘The Mancave’ @them_ancave
I want to help break the stigma around male infertility. Why should we suffer in silence?!
I believe anxiety and depression go hand in hand with fertility issues, and I honestly believe men have taken their own lives due to the fact they have had very little or no help or support after being told they are infertile.
Because of this, I plan to make a difference and I want you guys to come along on this journey with me. Let’s do this together; for us, for those that have suffered in silence before us and for the men of the future, who hopefully won’t have to suffer alone." Kevin from https://them-ancave.co.uk/about/
Connect with Kevin
@them_ancave on instagram and Twitter
So on the last Friday of every month @them_ancave on Instagram Kevin will be going live at 6.30 pm for the show ”The Man Chat” with different guest speaker every month!

Episode 116: Have a listen and see if this resonates.
The reasons in short:
1 - You wouldn’t benefit from being supported by someone as you already feel resilient, in control and have a strong plan in place for supporting both your physical fertility and mental health in 2024.
2. - You could put together your own mind-body fertility course from free content on YouTube. There are so many amazing coaches sharing high-quality information on YouTube today so it would be completely feasible for you to sit down and cherry pick videos that could create an outline. However the content is endless and knowing what to watch when in what order and then having the accountability of actually practising is what makes doing a course so empowering.
3. - You have a strong support network of friends and family who completely understand how you feel and know just what to say to make you feel better.
You are lucky enough to have friends who are going through this at the moment you are experiencing very similar struggles to yourself and not only that, they have decided to put their own well-being and mental health at the forefront of their priorities so are tuned in with the mind-body techniques that could help you most at this time.

Episode 114: Walking and talking about the power of working with a therapist during this time in your life and the things you should expect from the person supporting you.
I then describe AMDR the trauma release technique I use. Here is some feedback that inspired this episode:
"The AMDR sessions just keep blowing my mind every time I experience one. I have tried lots of different mind shift techniques before like Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) which is powerful but AMDR is like Superman defeating Lex Luthor in one go!!! I can not express enough how powerful this technique is. Every time I have something that pops up which takes me back to a past experience/memory and I'm overly emotional about it or have experienced an emotional situation in the present where I wouldn't normally be, I reach out to the amazing Naomi for an AMDR session so I can move through it quicker than I would normally using EFT. If anybody is on the fence about an AMDR just give it a go, you have nothing to loose and you definitely will not regret it!"- Crystal

Episode 109: You have probably heard of inflammation how does inflammation impact our fertility? In today’s fertility expert interview with Jaclyn Downs a Functional Nutrigenomics Consultant we will be discussing just that.
Root causes of inflammation
We discuss common, but lesser-known root causes of inflammation that affect fertility and egg health.
What functional genomics is and how it can provide clarity on root causes and which protocols would be most effective (and why other protocols may not have worked).
Epigenetics, mold/mycotoxins, histamine, poor fatty acid utilization, iron dysregulation, addressing stress, antioxidants and detoxification pathways.
Free Cheat Sheet, How Genetic Testing Solves 'Unexplained' Infertility: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/v7g9t1
Jaclyn's book, Enhancing Fertility through Functional Medicine: Using Nutrigenomics to Solve ‘Unexplained’ Infertility is now available!

Episode 107: Using fiction as a way to educate, heal and connect
This is an interview on using fiction as a way to educate, heal and connect. I absolutely loved recording this episode and I hope you love the stories that Jolene shares with us.
From Jolene: In my stories I’ve focused on the effects of fertility on women, the men who care for them, and small town culture around issues of fertility. In my stories, I’ve chosen to use specific and medical jargon and terms relating to, specifically, women’s health issues to bring awareness.
I’ve written stories about infertility, miscarriage, pregnancy, high-risk pregnancy, pre-term labor, endometriosis, mental health issues, PTSD, post-natal PTSD.
I’ve written at least one story (“You Four Are the One”) using a technique in therapy treatment for people with PTSD called RECON (reconsolidation therapy) by Courtney Armstrong.
I’m hoping our talk will inspire others to write their own fictional (or nonfiction) stories of fertility and women’s health issues. I’m hoping they’ll buy SIDLE CREEK and they’ll find they’re not alone.
Jolene McIlwain’s work has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and appears in numerous online and print literary journals including West Branch, Florida Review, Cincinnati Review, CRAFT, Smokelong Quarterly, New Orleans Review, LITRO, and more. Her work was included in 2019’s Best Small Fictions Anthology and named finalist for 2018’s Best of the Net, Glimmer Train’s and River Styx’s contests, and semifinalist in Nimrod’s Katherine Anne Porter Prize and two American Short Fictions contests. She’s received a Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council grant, the Georgia Court Chautauqua faculty scholarship, and Tinker Mountain’s merit scholarship.
She’s taught literary theory/analysis at Duquesne and Chatham Universities, and she worked as a radiologic technologist before attending college (BS English, minor in sculpture, MA Literature). She was born, raised, and currently lives in a small town in the Appalachian plateau of Western Pennsylvania.
Her debut, SIDLE CREEK, out with Melville House this spring, received a starred review from Publishers Weekly and Shelf Awareness calls it a “riveting debut collection” and “a rare gem, a compelling blend of nature and humanity perfect for fans of Barbara Kingsolver's Prodigal Summer and Daisy Johnson's Fen."

Episode 106 - A brief chat on how the word infertility doesn’t cut it when it comes to this period in our lives and all that we go through and experience while long term trying to conceive.
While I was trying to conceive, I stumbled across a beautiful article on the days before motherhood. Written by midwife Jana Studelska, it described the emotional and physical changes experienced in the run-up to labour. An in-between place marking the boundary between the woman you were and the mother you are about to become. This place of waiting, anticipation and tension. A land where nothing quite feels real anymore. Raw emotions, fluctuating hormones and a sense of disconnection from everyday life. Sound familiar?
This is how I experienced infertility. The woman I was before we started trying for a baby became a pale comparison to the mother I imagined I would be. I was ready to step out of my old world and into the new. But my new world was not ready yet and I was left in that in-between space, not able to go back, and prevented from moving forward. I would love to know your thoughts on this topic. Join my mailing list www.embracefertility.co.uk. -

Episode 104: This book has been in the conception phase for ten years! I left my career in design and the next day woke up and decided to write about my experiences of using the mind-body link to overcome anxiety and depression while going through infertility and fertility treatments. 12 weeks and I decided it was taking too long and I wanted to share the information I was writing about with the people who needed it. So I started a blog and fertility support group in North London.The book concept was put down until 2020 when I entered the Hay House publishing competition. In this episode I share what happened that year that I meant I haven’t picked up the project until January this year and why I’ve decided now is the time.

Episode 103: How any people have you told about your fertility journey? In today's episode we explore the role of a fertility doula and what support she an offer.
"I can't tell my family or friends I'm trying for a baby" - How a fertility doula can help
What is a Fertility Support Doula with Guest Alexie Reilly
Alexie Sara Reilly lives in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, with her husband, Tom and their three fur babies - Mason, Mocha and Murphy. They enjoy cooking, travelling, and watching reality television.
Alexie is a Certified Fertility Support Doula. In addition she has certificates in Diverse Family, Complicated Birth, and Chestfeeding Support. She is currently certifying to become a Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support Doula.
Her passion for all things fertility stems from her almost five-year journey of trying to conceive. When starting this journey back in 2018, she found herself incredibly confused, alone and scared. She had no idea what to expect and didn't know anyone that had or was experiencing what I was going through.
However, by connecting with a community and finding support from a Fertility Support Practitioner - she discovered her true passion for supporting and helping others on this challenging path. She genuinely believes that no one has to do this alone! IG: @epicquest4babyreilly and @golden_stork
