Podcasts about fertile

In this episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, Michelle explores the powerful connection between creativity and fertility, revealing the science behind why women often feel more inspired during their fertile window. Drawing from a 2022 study published in Frontiers in Psychology, she breaks down research showing that originality peaks during ovulation and explains how fertility hormones influence creativity, brain chemistry, and emotional openness. Michelle also asks a deeper question: could creativity itself support fertility? Blending neuroscience, nervous system regulation, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and hormonal health, she explains how creative flow can reduce stress, activate the parasympathetic nervous system, and support reproductive function. This episode offers a fresh, holistic perspective for anyone trying to conceive, recovering from burnout, or seeking to reconnect with their natural life force through creativity and flow. Key Takeaways: Creativity naturally peaks during ovulation, especially in originality and novelty Creative states calm the nervous system and reduce fertility-disrupting stress hormones From a TCM perspective, creativity and fertility are governed by the same principle: flow Engaging in creativity can help regulate hormones, emotions, and reproductive energy Fertility is not just biological, it is energetic, emotional, and expressive Disclaimer: The information shared on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

In this episode, Alissa returns to the podcast to share what life looks like 8 years after her daughter Anna was stillborn. If you want her full story, go back and listen to Episode #52 — we recorded that one 2.5 years ago, and hearing the evolution between then and now is powerful.  We talk honestly about grief life then vs now, how pain shifts but never disappears, and what it looks like to rebuild identity, perspective, and purpose after loss. Alissa opens up about parenting after stillbirth, navigating layered grief after losing her sister the year before Anna, and the unexpected “gifts” our babies leave behind — even when the journey is brutally hard.  If you're newly walking this path, this episode offers real perspective on how things can change over time… while still honoring the parts that never will. And if you're wondering how to keep your baby present as the years move forward, her insight is deeply grounding.  Alissa has always been incredibly transparent, and I'm so grateful our paths crossed early in my own journey.

This is episode four of Fat Fertility 101, and we're getting really practical about what you can actually do to support your fertility that doesn't involve dieting or weight loss. In the last episode, we busted the myth that you need to lose weight to get pregnant. Today I'm sharing evidence-based, weight-neutral approaches that can genuinely support your fertility and overall health.But first, something really important: diets don't work. If this is new information for you, that's okay. Take your time with it. Wherever you are in your relationship with dieting, I see you.In this episode, we cover:- Why diets don't work long term and the reality of intentional weight loss (including medications like Ozempic)- The three main health-promoting behaviors I focus on with folks: sleep and rest, movement, and food- How to reframe movement from punishment to care, and why "are you eating enough?" is the only food rule that matters- Supplements that actually have evidence behind them, including why the folic acid recommendation for fat folks is questionable- Why you shouldn't have to perform health or weight loss to access fertility careUseful Links:Download: Fat Person's Guide to Getting PregnantBook a Fat Positive Fertility Roadmap CallFollow me on InstagramEmail me a question for a future episode Get full access to Fat and Fertile at fatpositivefertility.substack.com/subscribe

This is episode three of Fat Fertility 101, and today we're diving into my absolute favourite topic: myth-busting. If you're in a bigger body and want to get pregnant, you've probably heard things like "fat people can't get pregnant" or "you need to lose weight first" or "you'll definitely get gestational diabetes."I'm here to tell you that so much of this is complete bollocks. Today we're going through the most common myths about fat fertility, and I'm sharing what the research actually says. Because you deserve to know the truth, not just what healthcare providers assume based on bias and fatphobia.In this episode, we cover:- Why the myth that "fat people struggle to get pregnant" is rooted in anti-fatness, not evidence, and what's actually true- The research on how long it takes fat folks to conceive (spoiler: it's one to two months longer, and that's about healthcare access, not our bodies)- Why weight loss research is deeply flawed and what actually matters for fertility (hint: it's behaviours, not the number on the scale)- The truth about PCOS, weight, and hormones, and why being fat doesn't cause hormonal issues- What the research really says about pregnancy risks in bigger bodies, including the actual statistics (not the fear-mongering versions)Useful Links:Download: Fat Person's Guide to Getting PregnantBook a Fat Positive Fertility Roadmap CallFollow me on InstagramEmail me a question for a future episode Get full access to Fat and Fertile at fatpositivefertility.substack.com/subscribe

In this episode, I'm answering your questions — the real ones. The ones you sent me quietly on Instagram. The ones that sit heavy in your chest at 2am. We're talking about: – Have I actually found joy again… without constantly thinking my baby should be here? – How to handle not getting grace from the people around us – What to do when you feel like your body failed you – Navigating strained relationships after stillbirth – Trying to conceive again (TTC) and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it – Regrets about hospital decisions and the “what ifs” that won't let go – Pregnancy after loss (PAL) and living in two realities at once – The anger that comes with feeling like you have to “start over” Nothing is off limits here. I share what this has looked like in my own life — the messy middle, the guilt, the growth, the perspective shifts that took years to land. I don't offer perfect answers, because there aren't any. But I do offer honesty. If you've ever wondered whether joy is allowed… If you've wrestled with resentment toward your body… If your relationships changed and you don't recognize them anymore… If you're TTC again while terrified… This episode is for you. You're not dramatic. You're not broken. You're grieving. And I'm right here with you. ❤️‍

t's Friday the 13th, which means our show was exactly the same as every other day. But we did get an important life update from Ally: her and her wife are doing IVF! It led to a lot of dumb questions about the fertility process, and aside from the insults we're all very happy for her. In other news, she had to pay a lot of money for emergency surgery to have something removed from a member of her family... To celebrate Valentine's Day we hear from the romance queen, the Throat Goat herself Ally's mom! We got more advice on how to keep a man happy & more graphic details about hotel sex and Doordash. We also heard what people are hiding from their significant others in I've Got A Secret (including a guy who gave away his girlfriend's dog!) We also got an incredible new Valentine's Day card originated by Jake the Nerd, download it on our IG @kleinallyshow!

This is episode two of Fat Fertility 101, and we're getting practical about how to actually find your fertile window. In the last episode, we covered how the menstrual cycle works. Today we're diving into the details of figuring out when your body ovulates so you can time sex or insemination for the best chance of getting pregnant.For folks with irregular cycles (especially those with PCOS), this can feel like stabbing in the dark. So we're going through practical tools to help you figure this out, even if your cycles are all over the place.In this episode, we cover:- How to calculate your fertile window if you have relatively consistent cycles, using your last three cycles to find patterns- What to do when your cycles are completely irregular and tracking feels impossible- Three different ovulation tracking methods (BBT, OPKs, and devices like Mira) with honest pros and cons of each- Why ovulation predictor kits sometimes don't work for folks in bigger bodies and what's actually happening- Why trusting your body's signals matters more than any pee stick readingUseful Links:Download: Fat Person's Guide to Getting PregnantBook a Fat Positive Fertility Roadmap CallFollow me on InstagramEmail me a question for a future episode Get full access to Fat and Fertile at fatpositivefertility.substack.com/subscribe

This is the first episode in a new mini-series I'm calling Fat Fertility 101, where we're going back to basics about fertility, but not the basics you learned in school. We're talking about real, practical information for understanding your body when you live in a bigger body and want to get pregnant.In this episode, we're breaking down the menstrual cycle, and I promise it won't look like those textbook diagrams. Because that "perfect" 28-day cycle with ovulation on day 14? That's actually quite rare, and if your cycle doesn't look like that, nothing is wrong with you.In this episode, we cover:Why the textbook 28-day cycle is a myth and what's actually normal for most folksThe two phases of your menstrual cycle and what hormones are doing in each phaseHow to identify your fertile window (it's only about six days, not the whole month)Signs of ovulation you can start noticing in your own body, from cervical mucus to energy shiftsWhy the second half of your cycle usually stays consistent even with irregular periods, and how that helps you understand your patternsUseful Links:Download: Fat Person's Guide to Getting PregnantBook a Fat Positive Fertility Roadmap CallFollow me on InstagramEmail me a question for a future episode Get full access to Fat and Fertile at fatpositivefertility.substack.com/subscribe

In this episode, I talk about the most fantastic mess that is life after stillbirth. This is emotional whiplash at its finest...Loss mamas are out here doing the damn thing every single day—showing up, parenting, working, laughing—and still grieving, spiraling, and holding a whole lot beneath the surface. Two things can be true at once, and they usually are.I share a moment where I blurted out something dark but completely factual… and the person on the receiving end said absolutely nothing. We get into how grief conversations have evolved (or haven't), why people don't know what to do with us, and how wildly inappropriate things still get said to our faces—like, “I would have died if something happened to my baby.” Cool. Thanks. Super helpful.This episode is about the messiness, the awkwardness, the growth, the rage, the humor, and the reality of living after stillbirth. It's about surviving, adapting, and learning how to exist in a world that's uncomfortable with our truth.If you're a loss mama trying to hold it together while falling apart, this one's for you.Welcome to the fantastic mess.

In this episode, I talk about the part of grief that doesn't fit the mold—the way loss makes you different, and how few people truly understand the way we navigate the world afterward. There's an unexpected empowerment that comes from owning that difference. From letting go of how grief should look. From stopping the need to be understood. And from building a life after loss in the way you need to, not the way others expect. If you've ever felt like a misfit in your grief, about how you're doing this and am looking for guidance on owning it, this one is for you. JOIN LOSSLINK.COM to find your loss posse ************************************* NOTE: I am not a doctor or a therapist.

In this episode, I talk openly about God after the death of my son, Brody—what my faith looks like now, what it doesn't, and how it has changed in ways I never expected. I share my honest thoughts, doubts, anger, comfort, and the quiet moments where belief feels complicated but still present. I also dive into what it's like to parent after loss—how grief shows up in anxiety, how it lives in my body and my thoughts, and the things that genuinely help me when the fear gets loud. This isn't about having it all figured out; it's about surviving, regulating, and finding ways to feel safe in a world that no longer feels predictable. Finally, I talk about the way Brody's death reshaped how I show up in the world. The attitude I try to carry. The energy I try to contribute. The way loss softened me, sharpened me, and changed how I treat others—and myself. I also talk about a lot of other random stuff too LOL This episode is for anyone navigating faith after loss, parenting with grief, or trying to live gently and intentionally after their world has been shattered. You're not alone here.

In this deeply personal and wide-ranging episode of the AART Podcast, host Chris Stafford sits down with acclaimed South African production designer Sabrina Linder for an intimate biographical conversation about life, creativity, and the winding path that leads to a career in film. Rather than focusing on technical process, this episode explores the human story behind the work. Sabrina Linder reflects on growing up in South Africa, the formative experiences that shaped her artistic sensibility, and how curiosity, resilience, and observation guided her toward a life in visual storytelling. From early influences and cultural identity to the emotional intelligence required to collaborate at the highest levels of film and television, Sabrina shares the moments that quietly — and sometimes unexpectedly — defined her career. Throughout the conversation, Sabrina opens up about navigating creative industries, finding confidence as an artist, and learning how to trust instinct over expectation. She discusses what it means to build worlds for the screen while simultaneously building a life, and how storytelling — whether through design or lived experience — remains at the center of her work. Chris guides the discussion with warmth and curiosity, allowing space for reflection on ambition, self-doubt, mentorship, and the invisible labor behind creative success. The result is a thoughtful portrait of an artist whose career is rooted not only in visual craft, but in empathy, memory, and lived experience. This episode will resonate with artists, filmmakers, designers, and anyone interested in the personal journeys behind creative careers, offering insight, honesty, and inspiration well beyond the screen.

Tis a new year my friends and honestly, it's the same shit. In this episode, I get super vulnerable you guys. I even go a little Tony Robbins on ya...I will say I'm super proud of myself for what I did in 2025 when it came to my health and wellness. I went IN trying to get my physical health and mental health back on track. Like GLP-1s, I did Ketamine, back to working out consistently, bible study, being present with my babies, changing up career paths, getting grief coach and educator certified, finding that balance with motherhood and grief, and just trying to get ME back...Well it was tough but I made it and I am proud but no one talks about that "Dig Out"...Where you have to consistently dig yourself out of a dark place all the time. It's honorable and shitty but we have to do it. I dive into this phenomena in hopes to hype you up and share that it's hard for me too.This is real life, I'm always honest with y'all and I always will be.Hope this helps mama

Contrary to fears of overpopulation, Lionel warns we are in the midst of a silent depopulation. The core issue is the dramatic drop below the Replacement Fertility (RF) rate of 2.1 children per woman. Lionel reveals that the main culprit is not smaller families, but an "amazing share of people who never become parents at all", driven primarily by delayed parenthood and institutionalized narratives that encourage prioritizing careers over family.

Jared and Mike welcome researcher and forthcoming author Madeline Peltz to talk about right-wing female influencer culture and the broader effort to recruit young and “fertile” women into the MAGA movement. The trio unpack the surreal online discourse surrounding Erika Kirk, her appearance alongside JD Vance, and the intense scrutiny of her fashion choices. They also dive into figures like Alex Clark, the influencer who urges young women to have children while remaining child-free herself, and Riley Gaines, best known for losing a race to a transgender swimmer and turning that moment into a political brand.Beyond individual personalities, the conversation explores what the “tradwife” aesthetic really represents — and how it ties into deeper ideological projects on the right. The episode also includes a look at the unfolding scandal at the Heritage Foundation, the latest conservative institution to confront the reality that it has a full-blown Nazi problem.No need to save yourself for marriage, this episode of "Posting Through It" is ready to recieve you!Links for Madeline:Newsletter: Number Two PencilBluesky (@peltzmadeline.bsky.social) / X (@peltzmadeline)Preorder Mike's book, "Strange People on the Hill" with the discount code STRANGE20.Transition Music: “Lucky” by Momma

In this episode, I sit down with the founder of Evermore Adoption Consultants, Kristin Van Hoff, a birth mother whose own adoption story inspired her to build something extraordinary. Out of her personal experience came a mission rooted in love, integrity, and the belief that every family deserves clarity and compassion on their journey to adoption. We explore what makes adoption such a complex and emotional process, why domestic adoption can feel so overwhelming, and how Evermore provides families with the tools, education, and support they need to move forward with confidence. You'll learn how Evermore stands apart from traditional referral-based services—serving families across all 50 states, partnering only with licensed agencies and attorneys, and maintaining the highest ethical standards every step of the way. Whether you're beginning your adoption journey or searching for trusted guidance, this conversation is a reminder that with knowledge and compassion, family is always possible. WEBSITE: https://evermoreadoptionconsultants.com/ FIND YOUR LOSS POSSE ON LOSSLINK.COM!*************************************NOTE: I am not a doctor or a therapist.

In this episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, host Michelle Oravitz breaks down one of the most common fertility myths, the belief that pregnancy can only occur on the exact day of ovulation. Popular culture and even many fertility apps often portray conception as a single-day event, but science tells a different story. The truth is, sperm can survive in the reproductive tract for up to five days, creating a much wider fertile window than most people realize. Michelle explains what the 5-day fertile window really means, why the “Day 14 ovulation” rule is misleading, and how women can better understand their unique cycles. She also shares practical guidance on tracking ovulation accurately using basal body temperature (BBT) charting, cervical mucus observation, LH strips, and hormone-monitoring devices. Key Takeaways:  How cervical mucus supports sperm survival and why hydration is essential. The impact of irregular cycles caused by thyroid health, PCOS, stress, or travel. Why fertility apps often fail to predict ovulation accurately. The best timing and frequency of intercourse to increase the chances of conception How intercourse during the luteal phase may help prime the immune system to receive an em Disclaimer: The information shared on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

In this episode, Alexandra shares how her company, Alexandra & Wells, came to life out of love and loss. Together, we reflect on how our grief has evolved over the years and how motherhood—five years after loss—continues to take on new meaning. We talk about the reality of running a “grief business,” what it means to mother an angel long-term, and how we continue to redefine ourselves while keeping their memory close.Find her website here: https://alexandraandwells.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexandraandwells/Find your loss posse at LossLink.comAll my resources are on KatherineLazar.com and @thekatherinelazar *************************************NOTE: I am not a doctor or a therapist.

Kirsten Karchmer, founder of Conceivable, is one of North America's first reproductive acupuncturists. With a career spanning clinical practice, software development and AI integration, Kirsten brings a fresh, deeply personal perspective to the future of women's healthIn this episode, we explore the root causes of infertility and why simply timing intercourse isn't enough. Kirsten breaks down the concept of the “Conceivable Cycle,” how subclinical symptoms reveal deeper fertility issues, and why most women are misled by generic wellness advice. She also shares the story behind building an AI-powered virtual care platform, one designed not to replace doctors, but to give millions of women access to tools that previously cost tens of thousands in clinical care.We also talk about IVF, when it should be used, and how even women in their 40s can significantly boost fertility outcomes by improving internal health metrics. The conversation ends with Kirsten's advice to female founders, the role of automation and AI in running a business and how her unexpected obsession with houseplants helps restore balance in a founder's high-stress lifeTimestamps:[00:00:45] From MS Diagnosis to Reproductive Medicine[00:02:26] Why Fertility Monitors May Be Doing More Harm Than Good[00:04:22] How to Actually Know If You're Fertile[00:05:00] What the “Conceivable Score” Reveals[00:07:04] Building an AI OS for Women's Health[00:10:15] Signs of a Healthy vs. Unhealthy Menstrual Cycle[00:13:46] When IVF Makes Sense and When It Doesn't[00:16:03] Fertility After 35: Misconception or Reality?[00:18:00] The Resistance (and Reception) from Clinicians[00:21:02] Advice for Female Founders and Women in FemTechGet in touch with Kirsten - ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirsten-karchmer-0139808/ ⁠Learn more about Conceivable - ⁠https://conceivable.com/⁠Get in touch with Karandeep Badwal - ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/karandeepbadwal/ ⁠Follow Karandeep on YouTube - ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@KarandeepBadwal⁠Subscribe to the Podcast

Synopsis:  With attacks on Critical Race Theory gaining momentum, Columbia & UCLA Law Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw joins Laura Flanders to dissect the fight for antiracism in America today.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription:  Calling all white people: How many times in the last eight months have you heard the phrase “isn't that illegal?” The problems with our legal system are more conspicuous than ever in 2025, but thought leaders like Kimberlé Crenshaw have been sounding the alarm for decades. Executive Director of the African American Policy Forum, Crenshaw is celebrating the organization's 30th anniversary and joining Laura Flanders in this episode to discuss the challenges ahead. For starters, the Supreme Court has recently legalized racial profiling for ICE deportations, the Trump administration is looking to remove so-called “improper ideology” from US institutions like the Smithsonian, and the president recently suggested domestic violence is not a real crime. Crenshaw is a leading scholar on Critical Race Theory, a Professor of Law at Columbia and UCLA Law Schools, and host of the podcast "Intersectionality Matters!" which is currently releasing a new episode of their series United States of Amnesia: The Real Histories of Critical Race Theory. Join Crenshaw and Flanders as they look at the AAPF's role in advancing intersectional policies to address antiracism, and how they plan to continue that work in this critical moment. Plus, a commentary from Laura on rights and the Right.“To really stand behind this idea of making America great again, you've got to erase the memory of what America was . . . He's going after the history of enslavement. He's going after the history of genocide. He's saying that this kind of history is no longer appropriate for the federal government to officially recognize and historicize.” - Kimberlé Crenshaw“[Conservatives] believe race should not play a role in creating greater access to equality. They do believe race should play a role in deciding who should be surveilled. They do believe in race when it comes to who should be collected up, potentially put on buses and planes and sent out of this country.” - Kimberlé CrenshawGuests:  Kimberlé Crenshaw, Professor of Law, Columbia & UCLA Law Schools; Executive Director, African American Policy ForumWatch the special report on YouTube; PBS World Channel September 21st, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).
