Finding Fertility

“Consciousness means I'm so aware of my gaps that I can't ignore them anymore.” Topics Discussed The 4 pillars of conscious living for fertility How unresolved childhood trauma affects your fertility Relationship dynamics and their impact on healing The hidden costs of ignoring emotional wellness Energy hygiene as daily self-maintenance The 5 stages of transformation The myth of instant results & the addiction to new protocols What true surrender looks like on a cellular level Intuition, inner wisdom & releasing expectations “You cannot be successful in your purpose if your intimate life is falling apart.” Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here... What if the fertility “protocol” you're chasing isn't the one you actually need? In today's second half of Tania's fire-filled conversation, we're diving deep into the gaps. The ones you're avoiding. The messy, human, “I thought I already healed that” corners of life that keep bleeding into your fertility journey, your marriage, your mental health, your everything. We talk about what it means to be conscious, not just within yourself, but in how you show up in your relationships, your communication, your health, and your purpose. Spoiler alert: Most people are nailing 1–2 of these pillars and flat-lining the rest. That imbalance? It leaks. It drags down your progress. It feeds burnout. This episode breaks down the five emotional and energetic stages you move through on the path to motherhood, entrepreneurship, healing, hell, even marriage. We discuss why most women sabotage their progress by jumping to the next shiny thing and how real transformation happens when you stay put and let it suck for a while. It's the space where your nervous system gets regulated, your inner voice gets louder, and your cells finally get the memo: We're safe now. One of Tania's friends got pregnant the one month she stopped trying—because she wanted to enjoy a Vegas bachelorette party. Her body finally exhaled, and boom. That's not magic—it's biology meeting surrender. Ready to stop quitting on yourself when things get hard? Press play. “Anything that works quickly shouldn't be the only solution—you just need more patience, not another protocol.” Timestamps 01:25 The 4 pillars of a conscious life and how your childhood story bleeds into your fertility story. 04:38 How fixing your marriage and relationship dynamics can transform your fertility. 07:40 The importance of energy hygiene: the non-negotiable self-care you're skipping. 11:18 The 5 stages you must move through for transformation and why most people quit at stage 3. 14:42 Why patience and surrendering to the waiting room matter more than protocol. 17:34 The four fertility pillars & how to check your own gaps without overwhelming yourself. 19:08 The power of meditation and how to access your intuition when the world won't shut up. “You start with one micro step, then the next one appears—and suddenly you're 100 steps in.” Full Transcript on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/part-two-tania-khazaal  Connect with Tania Khazaal https://www.instagram.com/taniatheherbalist/ Let's Do This Together

“Meeting your own goals is self-care. Dopamine is healing.” Topics Discussed Autoimmune issues in women & internal progress Suppression, toxic relationships & chronic illness How herbalism helped reverse years of health issues Emotional trauma as a root cause of physical symptoms Stress, stagnation & the root of chronic symptoms Autoimmunity & energetic misalignment Subconscious triggers in motherhood Postpartum crashes after fertility success “Suppression might be more dangerous than alcohol, because you carry it 24/7.” Show Notes Summary Hello Beautiful, Monica here, and today we're going there. Deep. Raw. No fluff. Tania the Herbalist joins me for a truth-bomb-packed convo that will stop you in your tracks (and maybe call you out gently while doing it). We talk about why so many women with autoimmune issues are stuck in survival mode, chasing healing from every angle, supplements, diets, protocols, but still not getting better. Tanya opens up about puking from anxiety every morning, insomnia that felt like a life sentence, and the moment she realized her body was begging her to stop suppressing. Not fixing, feeling. This isn't about another green smoothie or fertility-friendly tea. It's about emotional constipation. About how not speaking your truth, staying in the wrong relationships, and never making real progress for you, not your kids, your boss, or your to-do list, is silently wrecking your immune system. We're unpacking what it really means to live in survival mode while chasing fertility goals, snapping at your partner, catching every cold, ruminating over laundry like it's life or death. It's not just stress. It's your soul suffocating under default energy loops and outdated purpose narratives. We're not here to slap another “modality” on the wound. We're here to ask: What stories are you playing on repeat while folding your laundry? What do you believe about success, and does it actually excite you? This convo will challenge you, shake you up, and (lovingly) drag your nervous system out of its emotional junk drawer. So hit play and let's dive into what's really keeping your body in a holding pattern, and how to finally shift it. “Healing happens when you stop externalizing the problem and remember who the f*ck you are.” Timestamps 01:44 Understanding why a significant number of women suffer from autoimmune illnesses. 03:50 Tanya's rock-bottom moment with anxiety, insomnia & burnout and her journey into herbalism. 07:09 The toxicity of unspoken relationships and how suppression breaks you. 10:23 The power of mirror works in helping you face your inner demons and find healing. 15:20 The everyday energy that shapes your life and why joylessness and stagnation are the real fertility killers. 20:11 What success actually looks like and how to reverse engineer it. 21:35 Understanding that kids don't fix you - they show you where you're broken. 23:19 Postpartum crashes & the cost of not healing before motherhood. “The body will scream until you listen. The signs are everywhere; you just keep overriding them.” Full Transcript on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/part-one-with-tania-khazaal  Connect with Tania Khazaal https://www.instagram.com/taniatheherbalist/ Let's Do This Together

Maybe both. Either way, it's what you need to hear if you've ever thought, “I'm doing everything right, so why am I still stuck?” We're done collecting more knowledge. This is about living the work. Feeling it. Embodying it. And practicing it in the boring, everyday moments where transformation actually happens. You'll hear why slowing down isn't laziness, it's sacred.

So if you're exhausted from research, burnout, and trying to hyper-control your way into pregnancy, this episode is your permission slip to get radically honest, wildly self-aware, and finally… peaceful. Because this work doesn't just change your fertility, it changes who you are as a mother, a partner, and a soul.

You'll meet Katie, a medical intuitive who unapologetically invites you to drop the productivity addiction and sit with yourself for five freaking minutes. We unpack the radical idea that connecting with your spirit baby, your body, or your guides isn't woo: it's wise. And it's exactly what your burnout brain has been begging for. The truth? Your obsession with control might be the block. And the magic? It lives in the messy middle, where you breathe, listen, and get honest. Press play if you're ready to stop. Control is a survival mechanism, but it doesn't always serve us. Timestamps 02:15 A writing technique to calm your nervous system and access intuition and the lessons you'll learn. 05:45 Why most women struggle to sit with themselves and listen to their intuition. 06:29 How to let your inner guidance team actually help you to feel safe doing “nothing”. 09:07 How to handle scary truths that surface during intuitive work. 12:02 Understanding that radical changes often come from discomfort until you pay attention. 16:58 Why you need to prioritize your child over societal or familial expectations. 19:44 The importance of intentional change to avoid the same stress patterns carrying into pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting.

Together, we unpack the layers most fertility journeys never touch—from repressed grief and subconscious guilt to childhood trauma and that secret fear you'll become your mother.

This episode isn't here to coddle you. It's here to wake you up with love. It's a call to radical responsibility—because sometimes the thing keeping you from your baby isn't a protocol, it's a soul-level pattern ready to be rewritten.

You're meant to clear, to ground, to connect. Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be… Let's get real: if you're exhausted from trying everything and still feeling like your body's working against you, this episode is for you. I'm guiding you through the exact energy-clearing meditation that's helped me show up with way more peace, trust, and emotional bandwidth—even on the wildest days. No white-knuckling. No fake zen. Just real, grounded energy work that clears out the crap clogging your system. Because here's the deal: when you're on the fertility rollercoaster, your nervous system doesn't lie.

This practice helps you drop in fast, clear emotional junk drawers, and open up that divine two-way convo between your womb and the universe. This isn't about being perfect. It's about showing up for your energy like it actually matters. Press play, drop in, and let's start clearing what was never yours to carry. Consistency isn't control—it's devotion to your own energy.

Stillness isn't stagnation. It's integration. Topics Discussed The chaos addiction blocking your fertility Nervous system dysregulation and fertility struggles How trauma patterns show up after you get pregnant Epigenetics, motherhood, and the cost of overdoing Why your body can't receive in a high-alert state The energetic upgrade from hustle to healing How to actually trust the pause without spiraling You can chase in chaos, but you can't receive in chaos. Show Notes Summary Hello Beautiful Souls, the voice of Monica here... This one's raw, real, and honestly a little uncomfortable, in the best way. I skipped a podcast episode for the first time in five years. Not because I forgot. Not because I didn't care. But because I'm practicing what I preach: stepping out of chaos and into calm. This episode is a full-on permission slip to stop running yourself into the ground in the name of fertility. The endless doing, fixing, tweaking, chasing—it might feel productive, but it's actually the very frequency that's keeping your body in survival. Stillness, on the other hand, is scary because it's unfamiliar. But that's exactly where your intuition gets loud and your nervous system learns to receive. I get into how these patterns don't magically disappear once you get pregnant, and why so many mamas find themselves overwhelmed, triggered, and exhausted postpartum. If your chaos feels safer than peace, this episode is your invitation to shift. Press play. Let it land. And ask yourself: what if letting go is what moves you forward? You're not falling behind. You're finally tuning in. Timestamps 00:00 Why chaos is more comfortable than calm 03:25 The illusion of productivity in your fertility journey 04:52 Pregnancy and motherhood don't erase your patterns 07:50 The chaos comfort zone and your nervous system 08:51 Why peace can feel like panic and how to shift 12:54 Stillness as the gateway to intuition and coherence 14:50 How to gently rewire your frequency without overwhelm 16:18 Stillness doesn't mean failure.

"You do not need another plan, you need presence." Topics Discussed: How scattered priorities sabotage fertility healing Rewiring subconscious patterns with consistency Understanding fear-based supplement routines The emotional cost of over-functioning and perfectionism Embodying the energy you want your baby to be raised in Recognizing when ‘calm' is just another performance How to shift from chasing to receiving Truth # 9 Scattered Priorities During Infertility & IVF: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/truth-9-scattered-priorities-during-infertility-ivf "Your baby is not waiting for you to be perfect, your baby is waiting for you to stop abandoning yourself." Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be... Today's episode is not for the faint of heart, but for the brave souls ready to ditch the invisible hustle and finally get real about where their energy is leaking. If you think slowing down means you're not hustling anymore, think again. Inside, you might still be sprinting like you are training for the Fertility Olympics. In this episode, we call out the sneaky ways perfectionism, fear-based habits, and shiny new supplement plans are secretly sabotaging your journey — and we bring it all back to radical honesty, radical presence, and radical self-love. We even tap into the deeper truth that sometimes, the stillness you are craving feels terrifying because your nervous system only knows chaos. Spoiler alert: you cannot out-supplement, out-research, or out-strategize your way into coherence. You have to live it. Piece by piece, moment by moment, tree nap by tree nap. If you are ready to stop proving, stop chasing, and start receiving, this episode is your wake-up call. "Some of your healthy habits might be keeping you stuck, because they are still rooted in fear." Timestamps 00:00 – The real reason your fertility journey feels overwhelming 01:30 – How scattered priorities sneak in without you noticing 03:00 – Why calm is not clarity if you are still performing 06:00 – Supplements: helpful support or fear-based crutch 09:00 – Radical responsibility and emotional triggers 13:00 – Why consistency, not chaos, brings your dreams into reality "Your dreams are not far away, they are already here — you just have to meet them in your now."

And in that pause, she found the real power—safety, trust, and coherence. You'll hear why emotional trauma disrupts more than your mindset—it lives in your fascia, your gut, your womb.

And oh honey, buckle up, because today we're diving into the emotional jungle gym that is your fertility journey. Spoiler alert: it's not just about diet, supplements, and fancy med protocols. Sometimes, the real block is you not using your damn voice. Yep, we said it. In this raw and revelatory episode, we sit down with a brave soul who has been through more fertility treatments than anyone should ever have to endure (we're talking double digits, people). But the real kicker? She hadn't been speaking up—for her body, her emotions, her intuition. And let's be real, when your husband is channeling all the Type A, competitive, masculine energy, it's no surprise your inner child is quietly rocking in a corner whispering, “Please don't fight.” We talk about burping (yes, burping) and how it's somehow the digestive version of not using your voice—seriously, who knew your gut could get passive-aggressive too? We unravel people-pleasing, perfectionism, and the childhood moments that had you hustling for love and safety. Monica walks her guest through a transformational subconscious technique that had her feeling chills—in the best possible way. And just when you think you've heard it all, we go full metaphysical with past life patterns and inner child work. Because why not? So if you've been quietly nodding along with society's rules while screaming inside, this one's your wake-up call. Spoiler: the more you people-please, the longer you stay in fertility hell.

"Your body innately knows how to do fertility—it's just waiting for you to stop micromanaging." Topics Discussed The unseen ways clinging to the identity of “the one who's trying” can hold you back Why letting go doesn't mean giving up – and what it actually does for your fertility The role of hope in your journey and when it shifts from empowering to sabotaging The difference between wanting and having – and how to shift into the energy of “having” The sneaky way stress and control are keeping your body from feeling safe enough for pregnancy What radical honesty really looks like on this journey (spoiler: it's not just positive thinking) How your subconscious beliefs about infertility could be shaping your reality The importance of embodying trust, surrender, and joy – and how to actually do it "You can't have and want at the same time." Show Notes Hello, Beautiful! Monica here to shake things up and throw a little radical honesty your way. Ever feel like you're trapped in the never-ending cycle of “trying” to get pregnant? Like your whole existence has somehow become wrapped up in charting, Googling, and second-guessing every decision? Well, buckle up, because we're about to dive into why that's a huge part of the problem. This episode is all about the identity you've unknowingly taken on—the one who is always trying. And guess what? That identity might just be keeping you stuck. We're talking about why your subconscious clings to this label, how hope (yes, even hope) can sometimes keep you in limbo, and why shifting from wanting to having is the secret sauce you didn't know you needed. I also get into the real reason your body might not be “playing along” with your fertility goals (spoiler: it's not because it's broken). It's because stress and control are energy vampires, and your body needs to feel safe before it gives the green light to baby-making. So if you're ready to ditch the death grip on your journey, trust your body, and step into the energy of having, this episode is your permission slip to finally let go. Let's do this!

"The shift from chasing to trusting is the real work. It's easy to stay in a loop of doing more research, more protocols, more control. But remember, the real magic is when you stop overcompensating and start trusting yourself." Topics Discussed The surprising fear of success in fertility and how it keeps you stuck Why your brain might see pregnancy as another way to fail instead of freedom The deep-rooted programming that keeps you addicted to “doing” instead of “being” How unworthiness and identity play a major role in fertility struggles Breaking the habit of seeking validation through achievement Why anxiety over fertility can escalate into pregnancy anxiety (and how to prevent it) The three powerful questions to ask yourself to shift out of fear and into trust "If you deep down don't believe you deserve to become a mother, you'll subconsciously create obstacles to prevent it." Truth # 4: The Hidden Block to Fertility Success: Overcoming Suppressed Emotions During Infertility & IVF https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-z2s2n-18073a4 Truth # 3: The Hidden Impact of Overworking & Stress on Your Fertility During Infertility & IVFhttps://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-ywdwv-17ea0ee  Truth # 2: How to Overcome Overthinking, Worry & Fear During Infertility & IVF https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-dzrwn-17c5c7d Truth # 1: The Illusion of Control: How Letting Go Can Transform Your Fertility Journey During Infertility, IVF & Beyond https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-j6pya-17b061a Hello, Beautiful! Monica here, and today we're diving into a mind-bending, slightly uncomfortable (but wildly important) topic—FEAR OF SUCCESS. Yep, you read that right. Not fear of failure. Fear of actually getting what you want. Sounds crazy, right? I mean, isn't the whole point of this journey to become pregnant? But let's be real—your brain has been so busy obsessing over the struggle, the next supplement, the next protocol, the next thing—that the idea of finally crossing the finish line is, well… TERRIFYING. Because what happens when you're no longer the one “trying”? What happens when you do get pregnant? Your subconscious is sneaky like that. It convinces you that staying in the hamster wheel of research and control is saferthan stepping into the unknown of success. Because success means transformation. It means surrender. And let's be honest—Type-A, overachieving, Google-addicted Mabel is not a fan of surrender. In this episode, Monique is rolling her eyes at Mabel's overthinking, Monica is here to gently guide the way, and YOU are going to uncover whether fear of success is secretly sabotaging your journey. You'll also get three game-changing questions to sit with (preferably under a tree, because let's add some nature to the healing process, shall we?). So, if you've been stuck in doing instead of trusting, if pregnancy feels just as scary as infertility, or if your brain has ever whispered “What if I mess this up?”—this episode is your wake-up call. Let's break the cycle and step into the version of you who is ready to receive. "For so long, you have been the woman who's trying. That's who you are. That's how you relate to yourself, your partner, your doctors. The idea of not being her anymore? That can feel like a loss—even though it's what you want more than anything." Three Questions to Help You Move Past the Fear of Success Why do I feel more comfortable being the woman who is trying rather than being the woman who is pregnant? If I stop chasing and just trust, who even am I? What does that version of me look and feel like? How do I let go of the identity of the one who is trying when I've been living in it for so long? Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome to Finding Fertility! Let's talk about the sneaky fear of success. 01:33 – Why getting pregnant might feel scarier than failing (subconscious sabotage 101) 02:56 – “What if I don't deserve this?” How unworthiness keeps you stuck 04:26 – The real reason you can't stop doing (and why sitting under a tree might help) 06:23 – Mabel's lesson on repeating the same old patterns in fertility 07:19 – The 3 questions you need to ask yourself today 08:34 – If you stop chasing and start trusting… who even are you? 10:00 – The science behind stress in pregnancy (aka, get that cortisol down NOW) 11:29 – Letting go of the identity of the “woman who's trying” 12:56 – How to shift into the version of you that's ready to receive "The magic is in the mundane. When you feel that anxiety bubbling up, the real work is sitting in the uncomfortableness of not doing." I'm deep-diving into TEN truths, peeling back the layers of chaos with practical tools, empowering insights, and her real-life experiences.

"If you're still feeling stuck, if you're still feeling there's something more, it's because you're not going inward enough." Topics Discussed How hormonal shifts impact motivation, mindset, and fertility The importance of radical honesty in personal transformation Why slowing down is essential for healing and self-awareness The false sense of security in doing "all the things" vs. actually going inward How subconscious patterns and generational imprints affect health and fertility Breaking free from the belief that healing must be instant or dramatic The underestimated power of sitting with discomfort and listening to intuition Menstrual cycles as a roadmap to self-awareness and hormonal balance How society conditions women to override their natural rhythms The importance of practitioners as mirrors for inner work rather than fixers Menopause as a transition into personal power rather than a decline The silent crisis of men's sperm health and why fertility is an overall health marker How epigenetics play a role in generational health challenges The importance of creating daily habits that support long-term well-being "The answer is within, the answer is always within." Hello, beautiful—the voice of Monica is here to shake up your fertility mindset once again. If you're still on the never-ending hamster wheel of “doing all the things” but still feel like you're getting nowhere, buckle up because today's episode is your reality check. We're talking about something that might make your Type A tendencies twitch—slowing down. Yep, the thing that feels impossible but is actually the secret sauce to unlocking your fertility and overall well-being. Rebecca Rankin is back, and we're diving deep into why ignoring your body's signals, overriding your natural rhythms, and stuffing your schedule with all the “fertility must-dos” is actually working against you. We're talking about real radical honesty—the kind that makes you question your midnight Googling sessions and your obsession with finding the next best supplement. Spoiler alert: the answer isn't out there. It's in you. Always has been. We also get into the not-so-sexy but oh-so-important truth about consistency, how your hormones affect EVERYTHING (yes, even that sudden urge to question your entire existence while doing the dishes), and why menopause might actually be your power era instead of something to dread. Plus, we tackle the biggest lie in the fertility world: the idea that once you “fix” your health, life will be smooth sailing forever. Newsflash—it's a lifelong journey, but one you actually have control over. So, if you're ready to ditch the frantic energy and actually start aligning with your body's wisdom, this episode is for you. Let's go. "Slowing down enough to listen to yourself is the most radical act of self-care you can do." Timestamps 00:37 – The power of radical responsibility and self-trust in fertility 01:17 – Why the inner work feels “slow” but is actually the fastest way to transformation 02:32 – The hard truth about healing: Why modalities don't work if you avoid the real work 03:53 – How past traumas and subconscious programming affect your nervous system 04:51 – The lost art of slowing down: Why we ignore our intuition 06:19 – Practitioners as mirrors, not saviors—how to know when to trust yourself 07:48 – Are you living on autopilot?

"We are the creators, and when we're in complete flow with ourselves, the power is undeniable." Topics Discussed: A guided meditation to ground and reconnect with your higher self Why women's bodies are NOT meant to function like men's (and why that matters) The power of cyclical living and how honoring your natural rhythms can transform your life The real reason you feel exhausted and burnt out—hint: it's not laziness How tracking your cycle can reveal hidden patterns in mood, energy, and decision-making The problem with hustle culture and why women need to redefine productivity The generational patterns that keep women stuck in overwork and guilt How patriarchal conditioning has disconnected women from their true power Why tuning into your body's natural rhythms leads to better intuition, health, and fertility 2nd Top Quote: "We're not meant to be perpetually productive. Our power is in the ebb and flow." Hello, beautiful.! Monica here, back in your ears, and today, we're talking about something that might just shake up everything you've been taught about success, productivity, and even your own body. Buckle up. Here's the thing—women have been lied to. For centuries. We've been told to push harder, do more, and operate like mini-men in a world that rewards burnout. But what if the key to feeling your best, being your most creative, and even boosting fertility isn't in doing more, but in doing differently? Today, I'm joined by the incredible Rebecca Rankin, who's here to drop truth bombs about cyclical living—aka, why your hormones are actually your superpower (if you stop fighting them). We're talking about why you feel like an unstoppable queen one week and a drained zombie the next, why ignoring these shifts wrecks your health, and how simple awareness can change the game. Spoiler alert: If you've ever felt like you're doing "everything right" but still not seeing results, this episode is your wake-up call.

Hello, Beautiful—Monica here, back again with a hard-hitting, no-nonsense dive into your emotional baggage. (Yes, we're going there today.) We're talking about those neatly packed, possibly designer-labeled suitcases of emotions you've been dragging around for decades—some that aren't even yours. Fun, right? Maybe you've done all the ‘right' things—cleaned up your diet, taken the right supplements, maybe even dabbled in energy work—but somehow, you're still stuck. Here's a not-so-fun fact: You can't out-salad your subconscious beliefs. If your nervous system is still holding onto past emotional wounds, it doesn't matter how many green juices you chug or how ‘clean' your diet is—your body is still living in an old story. So today, we're unpacking those dusty, forgotten emotional wounds that are silently running the show. We'll also talk about the oh-so-familiar conditioning many of us got growing up. You know, the "big girls don't cry,""stop being so sensitive," and "it's not that big of a deal" mantras that taught us to shove our emotions down like last season's trends. But here's the thing—what you suppress doesn't disappear; it festers, manifests in sneaky ways (hello, chronic gut issues and hormonal chaos), and keeps you stuck in a loop. And because I love to make things practical, I'm giving you a few journal prompts to help you dig deep, a breakdown of how your beliefs shape your reality, and the inside scoop on whole-brain states (aka how to trick your brain into rewiring old beliefs). If you've ever found yourself wondering why you're still stuck despite doing all the things, this episode is for you. Let's get into it. "I wasn't even really allowed to express my emotions—Wendy the Whiner wasn't invited, and big girls don't cry." Timestamps 03:01 – The truth about buried emotional baggage 04:57 – How subconscious beliefs control your fertility 06:20 – Emotional suppression: the silent fertility killer 08:07 – The physical symptoms of unresolved emotions 10:00 – That moment when you realize your dad's BS is why you can't tolerate nightshades 12:46 – How childhood conditioning still affects you today 14:33 – The journal prompts that will change your life 19:14 – What did you need as a child that you never got? 21:36 – The story you're telling yourself about your body 23:55 – Why functional medicine alone isn't the whole answer 26:13 – Whole-brain state: the cheat code to subconscious rewiring 30:56 – What happens when the fight is over? (Spoiler: identity crisis) 32:41 – Your challenge for the week—time to release what's holding you back "You can't heal what you're unwilling to look at." I've got three journal prompts to get you started. Then, don't forget to access the D.R.E.A.M.S. course for more in-depth support for each area: 1️⃣ "What did I need as a child that I never got?" What emotions did I have to suppress? How did I learn to cope? How is this showing up in my life now?

Topics Discussed The addiction to busyness & why it keeps you stuck in your fertility journey Why we equate doing more with progress (and why that's a lie) How avoiding stillness is actually avoiding healing The subconscious patterns that drive over-researching and over-planning How Mabel, Monica & Monique tackle the obsession with control What happens when you finally slow down and listen to your intuition The role of stress, cortisol, and burnout in fertility struggles Why busyness is often a form of emotional avoidance The mindset shifts needed to embrace trust and surrender Practical steps to break free from the cycle of overdoing "Busyness isn't always about progress. Sometimes it's just a fancy disguise for avoidance."   Hello, beautiful- Monica here, and today we are about to RUIN your addiction to busyness—in the best way possible. You see, I know you. You're the type who has an ovulation tracking spreadsheet, a supplement rotation schedule, and a fertility research folder so detailed that even a NASA scientist would be impressed. And hey, I was that girl too. But let's be real for a second—how's that working out for you? Monique is rolling her eyes SO HARD at Mabel today because, spoiler alert, Mabel thinks if she just does more, she'll fixher fertility struggles. Sound familiar? But what if doing more is actually the problem? What if your obsession with figuring it all out is the very thing standing in your way? Today, we're diving into why busyness is often just a sneaky way to avoid the real emotional work. Why sitting still feels terrifying. Why slowing down might be your biggest act of healing yet. Oh, and if you think this episode is gonna be all soft and fluffy, don't worry—Monique is here with some tough love (and a few hard truths you probably don't want to hear but absolutely need to). And because I love making things super practical, I'm giving you a little challenge at the end: Five minutes of stillness. No distractions, no research, no checking your fertility apps. Just you, sitting with yourself. Scary, right? That's the point. So grab your tea (or let's be real, your third cup of coffee), and let's get into it. "If you don't give yourself permission to slow down, your body will do it for you."

"The frequency of actually guiding a soul towards their own autonomy is the highest level mastery position you could have in this life as a female." Topics Discussed Why modern motherhood feels like a trap & how to break free The illusion of control & how it sabotages your fertility How feminism may have set women up for burnout instead of freedom The real cost of trying to “have it all” & what to do instead How unresolved generational trauma affects fertility & motherhood Why masculine & feminine energy imbalances lead to dysfunction The unexpected ways children mirror your emotional wounds The importance of presence over perfection in parenting How to recognize & break toxic patterns before they pass to your kids "You're not here to give your man a baby or have a Pinterest-perfect pumpkin patch photoshoot with your child. You're here to guide a soul. That's the assignment." Hello, beautiful - Monica here and today, we're diving DEEP into a conversation that might shake up everything you thought you knew about motherhood, fertility, and, well… life itself. We're talking about the real reason so many women are burnt out, overwhelmed, and struggling—not just with fertility, but with life balance, motherhood, and relationships. You know that sneaky little voice that says, “You should be doing more”? Yeah, it's been lying to you. We're breaking down the illusion of control and how it keeps you trapped in an exhausting cycle of overwork, perfectionism, and self-sacrifice. We're exposing the dark side of feminism—the part that told us we could (and should) do it all but forgot to mention that “doing it all” comes with a side of adrenal burnout, hormone chaos, and deep dissatisfaction. And let's talk about generational baggage, because, spoiler alert: If you don't heal it, your kids WILL carry it. So grab your tea (or wine, no judgment), because this episode is a no-BS, high-energy call to action to start living in a way that actually supports your body, mind, and soul. Let's break the cycle and build something better—for us, for our children, and for the generations after that. "Women are out here taking care of other people's kids as teachers and nannies, nurturing other families as nurses, and completely neglecting their own. Tell me how that makes sense."

Uncovering the Hidden Layers of Your Fertility Journey: Radical Responsibility, Intuition & Trust Welcome back, conscious mamas-to-be! In this week's Finding Fertility podcast, I take you behind the scenes of what it really takes to navigate your fertility journey with radical responsibility, trust, and deep surrender. "Your body is time-based, your spirit is timeless. If you don't integrate healing into the body, it doesn't stick." The Addiction to Busyness: How high-achieving women tie self-worth to staying busy and the impact on fertility. Deep Surrender & Letting Go: Why releasing control is the hardest yet most powerful step in the fertility journey. Patterns & Quantum Psychology: The role of pattern recognition in identifying emotional and subconscious blocks. Inner Work vs. External Fixes: How true transformation comes from within, not just more information. The Feminine Wound & Burnout: Why so many women are exhausted and how embracing feminine energy is the key. Energy Medicine & Quantum Healing: Bridging psychology, spirituality, and energy work to heal from the inside out. Spiritual Detours & Avoidance: The danger of chasing external validation through plant medicine, psychedelics, and endless courses. The Power of Integration: Why embodying healing is more important than constantly seeking the next thing. Surrendering to True Leadership: The deep desire for strong, grounded masculine energy and why many women struggle with it. "If you actually tune into the energy of the universe, you'll see that guiding a soul is the highest level mastery position you could have as a woman." Hello, Beautiful - Monica here to shake things up, ruffle some feathers, and most importantly, get you to stop overthinking yourself into infertility hell. This episode? It's personal. I'm talking about the addiction to busyness—something I know way too well. I built my entire business off of it, and guess what? It wasn't sustainable. We're diving into patterns, surrender, and why you might be subconsciously blocking your own success—not just in fertility but in life. And because I'm all about keeping it real, I'm not just talking theory here. I'm sharing my own struggles of letting go, especially when life threw me into deep surrender with my father's passing. (Spoiler: The universe doesn't let you fake it.) But wait, it gets juicier. I'm also bringing you part one of an epic conversation with my mentor, Talie Miller. This woman reads patterns for a living, and trust me, she has a gift. If you've ever felt like you're doing ALL the things but still stuck, this episode is a must-listen. We also tackle the wild world of quantum psychology, energy medicine, and why some of the most popular self-development spaces are basically cults (yep, I said it). And for my Type-A ladies who are trying to “fix” themselves into pregnancy? Oof. You might not love hearing this, but you cannot logic your way into surrender. So buckle up, because we're talking intuition, feminine energy, the illusion of control, and why women secretly want strong masculine leadership (but won't admit it). Oh, and I'll probably get canceled for saying some of this, but Monique and I are fine with that. "You can clear your energy all you want, but until your body understands the assignment, nothing changes."

Hello, beautiful—Monica here, your guide in uncovering what really matters on your fertility journey. In this episode, we dive into the chaotic storm that is overthinking—you know, that exhausting mental loop where you rehearse every worst-case scenario like you're auditioning for an Oscar. Spoiler: your mind doesn't actually get a trophy for all that drama. With the help of my unapologetically sassy alter-ego Monique (yes, she's back and fiercer than ever) and my ever-panicked former self, Mabel, we unpack the evil twins of rumination and overworrying. Mabel's spinning out over her age again, convinced the universe slapped an expiration date on her forehead. But don't worry—Monique's got her metaphorical megaphone and some hard truths to share. This episode isn't about magic fixes or fairy dust; it's about showing up for yourself in those unglamorous, mundane moments. We're talking about the simple, powerful shift of saying, “We don't live here anymore” when your brain starts building castles out of what-ifs. And guess what? If you're obsessing over the clock ticking, Monique has some spicy words for you—because your age isn't the real villain here. It's time to ditch the chaos, embrace clarity, and trust your body's ability to work with you, not against you. Grab your tea, your notebook, or just a cozy spot to listen—you don't want to miss this one. And if you catch yourself spiraling into overthinking after this? Well, you'll know exactly what to say: “Babe, we don't live here anymore.” "Overthinking doesn't create control—it creates chaos."

Hello Beautiful! Let's talk about something we all love to hate—control. In this episode, I took you on a little meditation journey to ditch the chaos and open yourselves up to receiving all the good vibes. Spoiler alert: we don't need to white-knuckle every step of this fertility thing! Read The Illusion of Control over on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/Illusion%20of%20Control%20Infertility%20Failed%20IVF%20IUI%20Pregnancy%20Issues The Illusion of Control: How Letting Go Can Transform Your Fertility Journey During Infertility, IVF & Beyond Met three fabulous characters: Mabel: The Queen of Overthinking & To-Do Lists (we love her, but girl needs to chill). Monica: The grounded guide reminding you to breathe and TRUST the process. Monique: The unapologetic truth-teller, side-eyeing your control freak tendencies. I spill the tea on how trusting, surrendering, and letting go can actually make you feel more empowered, not less. And we're all about small, actionable steps here—no 300-point fertility checklists, thank you very much. The Illusion of Control Let's call it what it is: CONTROL is a sneaky little minx that makes you feel productive but leaves you spinning your wheels. We channeled our inner Mabels (bless her Type A heart) and reminded her that micromanaging every little thing won't speed things up. Trust & Surrender I know, I know—“trust” and “surrender” sound like buzzwords on a coffee mug. But seriously, letting go of the need to control everything doesn't mean giving up—it means opening the door for better things to flow in. Baby steps, babe. Self-Awareness is Sexy Radical honesty, anyone? I challenged you to check yourself before you wreck yourself. What's essential? What's just busywork? Bonus points if you kick that checklist to the curb and lean into grace instead of grind. Joy, Gratitude & Self-Care Control blocks joy—it's science (or at least Monica-science). Slow down, make time for what lights you up, and let your body and intuition do their thing. Pro tip: less Googling, more dancing around the kitchen. Alright, here's your homework (but make it fun): Be radically honest: Notice when you're spiraling into overthinking mode (and laugh at yourself a little). Simplify your list: Do the important stuff and leave the rest. Seriously, you're not a fertility robot. Build trust: Your body's got this. Let it work its magic without you micromanaging every second. Find joy: Do one thing this week that's just for YOU. Bonus if it makes you giggle like a kid. Make a small shift: Pick one thing to let go of this week—like skipping that extra supplement deep dive or saying no to something that drains you. Listen, queen: control isn't the key to your fertility kingdom. Shifting from fear to trust? Now that's where the magic happens. Let go, tune in, and take it one step at a time. And if you're ready to go deeper, I've got you covered with community sessions, one-on-one magic, and tools to help you finally ditch the chaos. So, what's your one small shift this week? I'm rooting for you—and so is Monique, with her sassy clap-back energy. I'm deep-diving into TEN truths, peeling back the layers of chaos with practical tools, empowering insights, and her real-life experiences. Whether you're feeling stuck in your fertility journey or wrestling with overwhelm and doubt in another area of life, these conversations offer a roadmap to healing and transformation.
