Often I hear that people just want to feel like themselves again going through infertility struggles.They have literally turned into people they no longer recognise and are miserable all the time. So it makes sense they would look back to the past to the last known point where they felt okay and yearn to have that back.The trouble is, looking back never has the answers we need.Today I want to walk you through how to move forward and incorporate all you have been through to date, rather than yearning for an old self that we can never again be.Bella xxPS.

The Mindfulness space is a wonderful thing that made so many more people aware of how they could help themselves through difficult things in life.BUT far too many people are being sold the idea of a quick fix and end up practicing toxic positivity.They meditate everyday, but still spend the majority of it anxious and trying to be a perfectionist.They say mantra, that make themselves feel okay for a minute, but ignore the fact that their unconscious mind is vehemently disagreeing with the words they are trying to get themselves to believe.They do gratitude journals and they know they should be grateful, but it fails to really shift them for most of the day to a place of feeling more at peace.All these tools are exceptional but not when you don't know why you are using them, how they work or have addressed the underlying foundational things you need to address first.Today I want to address why some of these tools may be holding you back because you aren't at a place where they are effective yet.Bella xxPS.

Male Fertility Issues account for 50% of infertility issues - and yet, to date, there is relatively few resources and options for men to get the same support as women do with the health and mental health sides of fertility.Moreover, what about the other 50% of the men who are supporting their partners through IVF and other treatments who desperately want to be fathers too?So I thought it was about time to promote some amazing Male fertility coaches in the space.Bella xxAbout Shaun Greenaway - Male Fertility Coach and AdvocateHaving been diagnosed with Azoospermia in 2018, Shaun experienced the heartache of infertility, as well as the shame and secrecy attached to facing this as a man. Now the proud father to twins conceived via the use of donor sperm, Shaun shares his story via Instagram And as an accredited coach, Shaun helps men navigate the emotion, pain and confusion of a fertility struggle.And you can find him here:  Check out his websiteAbout Ciaran Hannington - The Male Fertility PTIn 2011, Ciaran was told  briefly and bluntly that he was deemed infertile and there was nothing he  could do to improve his fertility health.After going through all the emotions, Ciaran set about improving his own fertility health drastically and went on to have two beautiful children. His mission now as The Male Fertility PT is to work with as many men as possible, to support and educate them on how to enhance and improve their health to optimise their fertility and help achieve their goal of fatherhood.He is passionate about starting a positive discussion about male fertility and breaking down societal stigma linked to the topic.You can find Ciaran on instagramor through is website.You can find both men waxing lyrical on their podcast The Male Fertility Podcast on the streaming services where you usually listen to them.PS.

Warning:  This podcast is about a real miscarriage and involves details that can be disturbing and quite graphic for some listeners.  But that's also the point.  It's about the realities of what someone go through.Miscarriages are surprisingly common, but one of the most heart-breaking things you can go through.And no two miscarriages are the same.  Some you might barely notice and others are extremely physical.And they can be very emotionally and mentally taxing.But I think it is important to be really open about miscarriages and exactly what they can be like sometimes.  Because first trimester miscarriages can be far more physically demanding than some people would have you realise.So I wanted to give an honest account of a miscarriage that I went through at the 9 week mark and the layers of it that made it so difficult to deal with.Physically, mentally and emotionally.It is graphic in nature so if you think you will find this triggering please do yourself a favour and don't listen.Bella xxPS.

This is a topic that is close to my heart and the more I speak to other women who are experiencing infertility, the more I have hard that many people have had trouble with ovulation testing.  I could NEVER get them to work for me.We all want to get certainty about when we ovulate so we can be sure that we are maximising on our fertile window each month.So today I am talking about ovulation testing, why you might not be able to get them to work for you, why I don't think you should rely on them long term and what I would do if you have no idea when you ovulate but want to get some peace of mind.Bella xxPS.

I often get asked about many different steps of the fertility process.  How do you know when it is time to do IUI or IVF?  How do you get your head around that you need some help? How do you process that you cannot have children on your own timeframe when everyone else around you is able to have kids when they want?And it often means that we need to go back to basics.And that basic is, actually understanding and accepting your diagnosis or situation in the first place.  So many of us just run headlong into treatments and all kinds of alternative therapies trying to force the process but with sadness and heartache and trauma in their hearts.Today is a different look at what the first REAL step is in answering these questions.Bella xxPS.

I ran an amazing 3 day event that I really got a lot of joy out of really helping amazing women like yourself to find their calm in their journey and TAKE BACK CONTROL.As part of the event, we had a great Q&A session.  And I loved these questions so much, I thought I would record them for you for the podcast too.So strap yourself in for real questions from real people on the fertility journey!I answer the following questions today:1. Do you have any advice for couples where one partner is the worrier (me) and the other isn't sure how to be supportive? It feels lonely to be worrying alone, but I know more worrying isn't the solution.2. Do you have any tips for being in denial about maybe having to have IVF? It's not something I thought I would ever be on my path but I struggle accepting that fact even though it's a good thing3.  How do you know it's time to accept the IVF route?4. Tips on how to decide and be at peace with the next ‘right step'?5. I'm struggling to decide what the right next steps are for me, but then I get so worried about time slipping away and this race against the clock. Any advice for getting past the constant worry about timeline?6. Do you have a favorite activity to take the place of the constant googling?7. How do you respond to friends/co-workers/family members that offer advice in the form of supplements and other things they suggest you try to help you get pregnant? I know they have the best intentions but it's not helpful to hear how you can 'fix' yourself if you just took another pill, etc.8.  Why is it every time I start a new cycle i get this kind of urgency feeling? Urgency to change something in my life, it could be anything from need to change my diet and have to buy new furniture.  It doesn't make sense most of the time but at that moment it's like I've got to find something to fix.9.  How do you deal with friends being pregnant before you and jealousy and guilt?I hope you get amazing value out of today.Enjoy xxBellaPS.

The longer a journey to conceiving and having a baby take, the bigger fear and anxiety seem to grow in the hearts of amazing women undergoing this ordeal.And it's totally understandable!  In the face of so much uncertainty around a pretty major life event, or after a miscarriage or any of the other trauma that can come with the territory, it makes fertility challenges pretty challenging.So today I really wanted to dive into anxiety to explore what it is all about, why it comes about and how you can understand it better so that you can help yourself to reduce it more on your path to holding that beautiful baby of yours in your arms.I want to show you and give you more choice over your emotions, so you don't drown.Bella xxPS.  Interested In Learning More?1.

No matter what you are fearful of around IVF this is the podcast for you to help you to think about IVF differently.I had a lot of people tell me recently that they were scared of:- everything - the money- another miscarriage- medication and effects- it not working out...And so much more.IVF can be scary on many different levels but it can also be an amazing process, so let me walk you through that today.Bella xx

It's really natural when trying to conceive a baby that we make calculations in our head.We might start by, "Oh if I get pregnant in this month, then I will be due in that month"  or in the spring or summer.Then when things progress to pregnancy and miscarriage or starting IVF, we naturally do this math.But the trouble is, all these numbers get stuck in our heads.  And they can be a massive source of pain and disappointed and reminder of what we don't have.There are so many ways we can do these calculations that keep us stuck and feeling the extreme pain and misery that we so desperately want to let go of.So today, I talk about the grief of these numbers and dates and how to process it all.Bella xx

When your fertility journey has taken you to explore medical options like IUI/IVF and other assisted reproductive methods, it can feel like the last resort.So when you have a failed cycle the pain can feel pretty raw and bigger.Today I want to talk to you about how to start to process a failed IUI/IVF cycle and what you can start to do to truly heal so you can move forward with your journey and not take that pain with you.Bella xx

Going through fertility challenges can be daunting, particularly when we start entering the medical side of it all.We don't know what we don't know.  So sometimes the medical world can be tricky to navigate.  And hey, sometimes it's difficult to know what acupuncturist or naturopath is best for you too.So today, I have put together a list of 7 reasons you might need or want a second opinion as you navigate your fertility path in a way that feels good for you.Bella xx

The one thing that TTC gives you is NOTHING. BUT. UNCERTAINTY.Apart from there being no guarantees about the outcomes of whether or not you will have a baby, there is all the uncertainty about what to do and what to try and trying to figure out what is wrong!There don't seem to be any easy solutions or paths to take.And then you drive yourself crazy with that uncertainty and become miserable and depressed.Today on the podcast, I want to talk to you about all your uncertainty.  How to know when you are focussing on the right thing and how to deal with greater levels of uncertainty so you have a chance to maintain or regain your sanity.Bella x

Let's face it, when you have dedicated YEARS to trying to achieve a pregnancy,  there might come a point where it feels like you want to give up!Like you just can't go on anymore.But as human beings, sometimes we also know that stopping our pursuits is the thing we should be doing.Just like not everyone becomes a famous actor, not everyone does become a mother and many times not by choice.So how do you know it is the right time to give up trying to conceive?And how can you do it in a way that feels okay?Well today on the podcast, I talk about making this decision, and why possibly it's not right for you to make this decision right now.Bella xx

Have you ever said, "Well part of me thinks or feels one way, and part of me feels or thinks another way"  when trying to make decisions?Have you ever felt like you are having an internal power struggle against yourself?Well today's episode is for you.Find out what the cause of this is and how you can come to understand yourself better so you can make better decisions on your fertility journey.

Technology and advances in science have enabled us to do so much more in the privacy of our own homes than ever before, which really gives way more power to us as individuals.And I'm all for it.And home pregnancy tests really are a part of the fertility journey.  But are you being driven crazy by testing every month?I know women on the fertility journey who have done 100's of pregnancy tests and today on the podcast I want to show you:how those negatives push you further into despairhow they can corrupt your mind-body connectionhow your brain absorbs the informationhow testing too often can increase your mental and emotional destressand how they can actually take away the control you are seeking.I would never suggest to never test.  But today I want to show you how you might do it differently to strengthen your emotional and mental resilience and increase your trust that you can do this.Bella xx

Sometimes waiting for things that we know are a certainty is hard enough.  But infertility is about waiting for something that you have no certainty about - and that is mentally taxing.No matter who I talk to, whether they are 30 or 43, most women feel a time pressure to get pregnant when pregnancy is not happening.Some people feel the pinch of age. Or pressure from family or society.Some people feel like they just can't go on anymore and so it has to happen now.And everything in between.When we feel so emotionally invested in the outcome, we want these things to happen as soon as possible and we want them to happen YESTERDAY!  When the uncertainty is so great, we want the answers now.But none of that allows us to reduce our stress and learn to let go so we don't drive ourselves crazy and destroy ourselves in the process.So today, I'm going to talk to you about how to deal with these feeling so you have the chance to surrender a little bit more.Bella xx

I know what it is like.You have that deep desire in your heart for a baby, it won't go away.  And you finally get pregnant only for it to end in a heartbreaking miscarriage.You don't understand how you came this close and yet it is still even further away to the life and the dreams that you have of having a family.And now to make things worse, you are afraid of getting pregnant because what if this ends in miscarriage too?You don't think you can take the heartbreak and go through it all again.Well today, I wanted to talk to you all about how to lessen the anxiety about getting pregnant again so you have a chance to enjoy your pregnancy when it happens.Bella xx

Let's be honest, self-worth isn't a pre-requisite for fertility.  But it can definitely hinder your fertility journey in many different ways.Today I will explore how having greater self-esteem and self-worth can affect your journey and where you might what to put some focus.Bella xx

The stress, the overwhelm, the obsessive behaviour and thoughts, the sleepless nights, that total chaos that is infertility can boil down to one big thing - FEAR!We are AFRAID.  Afraid of our emotions and how we are feeling.  Afraid of our thoughts and how dark they get.  Afraid of never feeling better.  Afraid of getting pregnant. Afraid of not getting pregnant.The fears can be endless and crippling and it's often these that cause us the stress, the overwhelm and the chaos.So today I wanted to talk to you about your fears.  All of the them.  The small ones and the big scary ones and why and how I think it is important to have a moment of honesty with yourself so you can start to feel more free mentally and emotionally.Come with me today on a journey as I gently guide you through your fears.And how they are often just not that scary.Bella xxPS.

So many women and men are suffering because of their infertility diagnoses and journeys.And it would be fair to say that for a lot of these people they find a distinct lack of understanding of the gravity of the emotional and mental toll that this journey can take on them.That's when they get the platitudes – ‘you can have one of mine', ‘just relax' and the like.In an environment that isn't empathetic to can be hard to heal and carry on.And so today I wanted to talk about why it IS such a big deal and why we shouldn't minimise that to ourselves.And also how you can heal even in unsupportive environments so you can start to feel a whole lot better now.Bella xxPS.

There are MORE than 3 reasons that you don't need to be perfect to get pregnant but today I just wanted to highlight some of them.AND talk about what perfectionism can really mean.I know we tend to think we do  have to be perfect because you are hoping that the fertility diet and the supplements and the whatever else you are doing is the answer and if you try and perform it perfectly then maybe all this pain you are feeling will finally switch off and you can get back to being happy.But it is unrealistic and exhausting.Let me show you a better way today.Bella xxPS.  Get in touch?1.

Are you ANGRY at your partner for not making lifestyle changes to improve your fertility outcomes?I mean, you made a commitment together to have a baby.But things didn't go as planned.  Now you are researching all the things that you can do to improve your fertility outcomes including lifestyle changes.Maybe you have made a bunch of them but then you see your partner still seemingly doing whatever they want.Or maybe they don't need to make changes but you do and they continue to eat and drink in front of you in a way that isn't supportive to your changes?Whatever is going on, it can bring about a lot of ANGER and RESENTMENT!So today, I wanted to talk about how to mitigate that anger so you can come together and actually make lifestyle changes together without it turning bitter.Bella xx

I've always accepted about me that I'm about a woo and a half.  And not full woo-woo.I have a very (hardcore) logical side to me but I've had one too many things happen in my life with energetic connections and weird things that have happened, including strong signs around me that it is too hard to ignore.And quite frankly, I love it.  I got a LOT of signs on my fertility journey, that I didn't really recognise as such.  But they also kept me company and made me feel good - you'll see what I mean when you tune in!But I think signs are something that we have to be careful about.  When we are in a place of fear and doubt about our baby, wondering if we will ever be mothers - we can be desperate for a sign from the universe.We can read into things that are not there.  We can get superstitious.  And we can feel disillusioned when we think we get our signs and then find out we aren't pregnant.So today on the podcast,  I talk in-depth about some of my experiences and then talk about ways to start to allow signs from the Universe into your own life in a way that is FUN and not FORCED.I really hope you enjoy this one today.And let me know what signs you get!Bella xPS You can tell me what signs you get by finding me on Instagram.

If being diagnosed with infertility weren't bad enough and battling through the long journey to conceiving, what often comes with it is a serious sense of shame and guilt.I spent many a waking moment blaming my teenage dieting antics for my problems.  Because I know during those years, I had pushed my body to its ultimate limits.The longer a person goes on, the more diagnoses that might be piled on or even the lack of one, it can be guilt and shame around so many things.From that heavy burden of feeling like it is your fault to that feeling of guilt every time you put something in your mouth that you don't think you are supposed to.So today on the podcast, we will talk all about the varying ways that this guilt and shame creep into our fertility journeys and of course, why we do it!So you may start to heal your heart and lighten your load just a little bit.Bella xx

Have you ever had a friendship that you felt literally sucked the energy out of you?  Or a boss or family member? Or a situation?Well unfortunately when we are miserable, depressed and deplete then more people and things can have a way of sucking the energy out of you.And it is vitally important that you learn to protect your energy if you want to get off the emotional rollercoaster of your fertility journey to do it differently.Today on the podcast I'm talking about why it is so important to protect your energy.  And how this is the right thing to do when we are healing and getting stronger.And honestly, if you need to hear it, giving you full permission to do so!Enjoy xxBellaPS.  Want Support From Me?1.

Unexplained  infertility has its own unique set of challenges.When time after time you are told there is just NOTHING wrong - what then can you do to FIX anything?Because when we can't conceive and it has been going on for years - we feel like we are physically broken, so how can we then have NOTHING wrong?So with nothing wrong and nothing to focus on, it's then very easy to get obsessed with doing EVERYTHING and trying to find that one thing that will work and trying to find that one thing that IS wrong.So today I explore the chaos and uncertainty this can create for us and also what I think makes a very big difference.I've never had mine explained, so I get it.Enjoy xxBella

Have you been listening to a million podcasts, absorbing a plethora of articles and basically still confused about how to stop feeling so overwhelmed whilst trying to conceive?I know sometimes on the podcast, I present bigger concepts like unconscious conflicts and how true change happens at the level of identity, but sometimes that stuff can feel too out of reach when you just feel absolutely crap.So today I wanted to focus on 7 very PRACTICAL ways you can stop feeling so overwhelmed that have made huge differences for my clients instantly.Because when you can create a little more calm in your mind, body and soul then the bigger stuff seems easier to tackle.And when you know what to do then you can implement it straight away without having to work it out in a moment when  you feel completely overwhelmed.And that's the point, if you are feeling really overwhelmed, you won't figure it out because our brains literally shut of conscious and logic in that moment.So without further ado.Enjoy xxBellaWant Support From Me?1.

We've all heard it.  Stress is bad for you.  And by association stress is bad for your fertility.At least, that is what we are left believing.  And so then when we get stressed at work, stressed about our fertility and stressed about everything we have to do, we start to feel guilty about feeling stressed, thinking we are ruining all our chances.Well today I want to unravel the myth of stress and look more at what TYPE of stress you have in your life so we can start to see what stress we need to focus on in our lives and what stress is totally okay and not going to mess it all up.So you can get back to just feeling stressed sometimes and not feeling stressed AND guilty.And I'll cover the two ways that you can actually change your stress and then talk about how to be resourceful to actually change those stresses that you have identified that you might need to deal with.Plus, I give you my biggest tip about what I actually mostly do with my clients that gives us the biggest wins.  And you know what, you don't have to have all your ducks in a row.So let's get on to conquering that stress xxBella PS.Interested in The Feel Better Weekend?

It seems insane that actually unravelling our fears or dealing with our mindset can have anything to do with our fertility.We have been taught for so long that the fertility journey is only a physical one.Yet Dr Alice Domar through Harvard Medical School and beyond has researched the approach of a mind body programs on women suffering infertility and has consistently found that it can have profound effects on fertility outcomes.Today I wanted to talk to you about why unravelling your fears has such a profound effect on the body.Having fears on the fertility journey is normal, but sometimes deeper fears do keep us stuck and definitely affect our mental and emotional health.So today I wanted to discuss why it can be beneficial to deal with your fears on many levels.Bella xx
