    As my baby girl lays on my chest, I still pinch myself that this is my life.After everything that we have journeyed through together, she is finally here.Now that we are here on the other side, I want to teach, encourage and inspire you that this is possible for you too, and how to adapt, recover, and most importantly, ENJOY this postpartum period when you do get here.This fourth trimester is one that is often neglected in Western society. Despite the whole body recalibration that takes place postpartum, women are often expected to get on with life as if nothing has changed.The reality is, EVERYTHING has changed. There's the birth of a new person, a new mother, a new woman. We are physically, mentally, hormonally, and emotionally recovering. It's a process that deserves time, love and support.In today's episode, I'd like to share everything I've learned and navigated on this journey into motherhood - from nutrition and pain relief right through to the liberation of myself as a woman on the fertility journey.And finally, I'd like to make a special announcement to you, my listeners, who I am so incredibly grateful for.Accepting and embracing the beautiful chaos that is life is the theme of this episode, and I hope you feel empowered to achieve that too.

    Today's is maybe the most incredible, powerful, intense, and raw story I have ever told.It's the story of how the beautiful Sophia Sunny Collins came into the world, and the journey our two souls went on to bring us to that moment.This fertility, IVF, pregnancy, labour, and postpartum journey has been the most unbelievably transformational experience of my life, and today, I couldn't be more excited to share the story of my birth with you.Like many great stories, it comes with a twist. If you've been following my journey, then you'll know that I had a plan for my birth. Well, the universe reminded me that life is beautiful, unpredictable, and uncertain - and that's the best damn part. When you are open and receptive to it, anything can happen, and it may just be even better than what you imagined.Today, I'm an open book. Join me on the journey through the final weeks of pregnancy, my preparation for birth, the days (yep, days!) of labour, surrendering to the unpredictability of life, and the indescribable joy of me meeting my baby girl face to face. Let my birth story empower you with the knowledge that you can own the magic of your story, no matter how it plays out.No matter how it happens, the story of birth is like no other. I have more respect for my body than ever before, I've learned things about myself that I didn't even know, and I'm moving closer and closer to the real, raw version of myself. Since birth, I feel more truly and honestly *me* than I ever have.I am so grateful and appreciative for the wonderful people supporting me through this experience - my absolute rock of a husband, my family, my midwife, and the incredible team of medical specialists that all took amazing care of me and my baby girl.And of course, my baby girl herself. We did this together and I could feel her working with me, body and soul, the whole time. Now, it's time for the next phase of our journey together - as a mama to my beautiful girl.

    Today, let's introduce you to your new bestie.It's your nonjudgmental sounding board where you can unload your deepest thoughts, your most private feelings, and your raw emotions. If that sounds powerful and freeing to you, then say hello to journaling.Journaling is an incredibly beautiful practice of presence - but it wasn't until I was on my fertility journey that I realised I'd been doing it all wrong. I'd been doing what I call “perfectionism journaling” and censoring my true thoughts and feelings like someone would read them.That's not real. That's not therapeutic. And that's definitely not helpful to your journey.Journaling should be your messy, raw, open thoughts spilled out onto paper. It can seem daunting at first, but it's as simple as that.In this episode, I'm going to show you how to let go of that perfectionism and let your real feelings be free. I'll help guide you and give you journaling prompts to get started - but at the same time show you that there's no need for structure, schedule, pressure, or stress. It can and should be as sporadic and uncertain as life itself.I want journaling to be a supportive tool and best friend on your IVF and fertility journey, just like it was for me. When done right, it has the power to be your ally - for fertility, pregnancy, and beyond.

    No matter how you conceive, your baby is conceived out of love.It can be easy to lose sight of that in the often clinical world of scans and statistics with IVF - but if anything, it's a precious opportunity to build endless love and romance into your fertility journey.There is so much room for love, sensuality, romance, and magic within any conception. In fact, the bonus of IVF is that you have the benefit of taking a beautifully conscious approach to conceiving.At the same time, it goes without saying that IVF can be a stressful and anxious time. That's why it's even more important than ever to fill your journey with romance - for yourself, your relationship, and for healthy hormone production throughout your pregnancy.Today, I want to teach you about the two kinds of romance that have the power to change your IVF journey from transactional to transformational. We'll talk about the many ways you can fill your system with “the love drug” oxytocin and the incredible power this has for your body and your life.I promise you, the romance you share with your partner AND that you show yourself will give you the foundations to bring that baby into the world the same way it was conceived - through love.So f*ck the narrative that an IVF journey is hard. It can be romantic as hell if you let it, and you deserve nothing less.

    It's a magical moment in your IVF journey when you conceive your baby.But the journey most certainly doesn't end there.Conception is an incredible milestone, but it's also just one part of your fertility journey. After you've conceived, you'll go through the stages of pregnancy, appointments with specialists, and of course the birth and finally meeting your beautiful baby.Throughout this whole process, it is so damn important that you feel empowered to have your pregnancy and birth YOUR way.Once your baby has been conceived via IVF, you may come to find that your pregnancy and birth are instantly treated as high-risk. Right at the outset, you might be told you need increased growth scans, a term induction, or other interventions - for no other reason than because you conceived via IVF.You could be the healthiest woman in the world, but the medical system is suddenly telling you that it doesn't matter and making your choices for you. It can feel like a total slap in the face.Your choices are yours, and yours alone. It's ok if that process feels right for you, but if it doesn't? Then you have the power to make your own choice.It can feel like a difficult path full of resistance, but in this episode, I'm going to empower you with the knowledge of what to expect in an IVF pregnancy, the paths you can take, and how to surround yourself with the right support.After this long journey, you can have the empowered birth that you deserve. Let's talk about how. To learn about interventions and how they can impact the physiological process of birth, tune into Episode 85 and let's delve into it.

    Here's a fact, no sugarcoating, no dismissing.A failed IVF cycle is f*cking hard.I'm not going to pretend that it's not. It's an emotional blow like no other, not to mention the physical toll that an IVF cycle takes on your body.You're allowed to feel any and all feelings about this, however sh*tty they may be. In fact, it's healthy to acknowledge these feelings and sit with them.What's also important is to then find your way in moving on from those feelings and continuing on your fertility journey. What that looks like is completely personal to you, but today I want to offer some shifts and reframes on how you think about IVF cycles that can help you in this process.First, let's throw out the language of a ‘failed' or ‘unsuccessful' IVF cycle. In my opinion? There's no such thing.Whether or not your IVF cycle results in the outcome of a baby, there is so much valuable knowledge and growth that each cycle facilitates for both you and your fertility specialists. Each cycle is a step forward on your journey - even if it doesn't always feel that way.Let's learn to look at each cycle as a learning cycle, a growth cycle, and an opportunity for you to focus on yourself and grow more and more into the resilient, magical mama that you're on your way to becoming.

    The 2-week wait might just be one of the most challenging parts of an IVF journey.For those who don't know or have yet to experience it, it's two weeks of waiting after an embryo transfer before finding out whether it was successful.Understandably, it can be an incredibly stressful two weeks of nail-biting, but today I want to support you in shifting your mindset to have a calmer and more grounded experience.First off, that does not mean having a totally anxiety-free time full of butterflies and rainbows. Let's be honest here, that kind of expectation would be pretty unrealistic and a heck of a lot of pressure!You're a normal human being and having normal human emotions is completely ok. You might be anxious, excited, or a mix of both and more. Well, mama, you get to show up however you need to during this time and feel it all. All I ask? That you accept and love yourself as you process these feelings. That's your key to surviving and thriving in the 2WW.This episode is where we'll explore exactly how you can shift your mindset to do this, and why you can be filled with anticipation AND live your life in a full and healthy way without becoming a slave to the 2WW. I'll give you powerful, potent prompts to challenge your thoughts as they undoubtedly arise.The 2WW doesn't have to be an overwhelming, negative experience that makes you hit the brakes on life. It gets to be a beautiful, joyful, experience of surrender - because what the heck is more fertile than that?

    Egg Quality vs. Quantity

    Your eggs decline with age, and there's nothing you can do about it. OR - you can throw out that mindset, take a holistic approach, and totally flip that perspective around.The quality and quantity of your eggs are absolutely part of your IVF and fertility journey, but despite what a lot of the stats might make you think, you most certainly CAN do something about it.First, let's talk about egg quantity. It's something that your fertility specialists can measure objectively to give you some definitive answers relating to your fertility.Egg quality, however, is far more subjective, but arguably, much more important for your fertility. It's linked to your own personal health and lifestyle, and without a holistic approach, it's a fertility factor that tends to stay pretty invisible.The beautiful news is that through holistic medicine, there is incredibly effective work that can be done to increase both egg and sperm quality, and give you the best chances of IVF success.A thriving reproductive system with healthy, quality eggs is crucial for fertility. Let me show you the power of holistic medicine and how it can support you on your journey to the ultimate outcome of meeting your little one.

I've seen far too many women let their gut issues go on and on, figuring that they just have to learn to live with it. Today, I'm here to tell you that this is NOT the case.

    What does it mean to be safe? And what the heck does it have to do with fertility?The short answer is - a hell of a lot.Our bodies are *always* trying to keep us safe. When facing a threat, whether it's real or perceived, your body will adapt to make sure that your survival is a top priority. That means anything that isn't absolutely necessary for survival right now becomes a low priority for your body - like your fertility and reproductive health.So here's the deal. In order for our bodies to be fertile, we need to send the message from our brain to our body that we are safe. Without that, your body just won't have the resources to give your reproductive system the attention and priority it needs.Now that you know just how important safety is for your fertility, let's empower you with the knowledge of what can cause an unsafe state in your body and how to overcome it. We'll be talking about nutrition, mental health, lifestyle, and how even subtle things can have a big impact on your body's safety.Join me in this episode as I teach you what safety in the body truly means and how to make sure you can set yourself up for the best possible chances of success in your fertility journey.Food for Fertility is a 6-week meal plan eBook providing you with weekly meal plans, shopping lists, and simple recipe cards to prepare your body for your baby.
