Today, Ali is talking to Marea Goodman, licensed midwife, author, and founder of PregnantTogether, a virtual community supporting queer folks and solo parents from preconception through parenting. Marea co-authored the book, Baby Making for Everybody–Fertility and Family Building for LGBTQ+ and Solo Parents, and today, they share their family building story, including having an early loss via IUI, and also having their son through IUI. They talk about their passion for empowering people with the information they deserve to grow their families, and about dismantling the isolation and stigma that still surrounds queer and solo parenthood. They also talk about inclusive midwifery, queer fertility, and how we can better support all kinds of families on their journey to parenthood. "We're trying to create a community for folks who don't fit into the mainstream family building world, to build connections, share resources and rely on each other. It's been a beautiful thing that has also really helped me personally on my queer parenting journey," Marea says.

“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

I also share a bit about my own pregnancy and experience with cold plunging.

If you've ever wondered if this is just how life feels when you don't become a mom, this episode is for you. Maybe your fertility journey ended with heartbreak instead of a baby. Maybe you've been told (by the world, by your inner voice) that life will always feel incomplete, lonely, or second-best now. Maybe you scroll past pregnancy announcements and family vacation photos, not because you're bitter, but because they hurt. And maybe you've started to believe the quiet story that society tells women like us: That life without children will always feel like you're just holding on. But what if that story isn't true? In episode 172 of The “So Now What?” Podcast, Lana shares: The truth about the emotional aftermath of IVF and infertility that no one talks about. Her own story of navigating the grief of a chromosomally abnormal embryo (Trisomy 16) and what came after fertility treatments ended. Why the world's attempts to “fix” you with adoption, donor eggs, or surrogacy often leave you feeling more invisible. How guilt, shame, and comparison can keep you frozen in time, and what it takes to finally move forward. You'll hear how women inside her 12-week coaching program, go from surviving each day to actually loving their lives again. One client shares how she stopped obsessing over what people with kids were doing and started finding confidence, peace, and simple joys in her everyday life. This episode invites you to imagine a summer, and a life, where: You wake up excited for your day, not dreading another reminder of what's missing You reconnect with your body and stop treating it like it failed you You feel connected to your partner again, building a future that feels like yours You finally stop pretending to be okay, and actually are If you're ready to stop surviving and start living a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling—even without the children you always dreamed of—this episode will show you what's possible.

On this episode of Cycle Wisdom, Dr. Monica Minjeur explores how gut health can silently sabotage fertility and reproductive hormones. From the gut-immune-hormone axis to the estrobolome, we break down what the science actually says about GI symptoms, inflammation, and their link to conditions like endometriosis, PCOS, and even miscarriage risk.You'll hear Wendy's story—a night-shift nurse whose infertility journey turned around after treating gut inflammation—and walk away with practical, hopeful strategies to improve your gut and your cycle. We'll also explain the role of testing, including looking for bacterial overgrowth and food sensitivities, and how Restorative Reproductive Medicine can help women restore hormonal health from the inside out.

In a world that's become deeply transactional, we need to get more relational.

This episode was recorded in Reno, Nevada, during the 2025 Western Dairy Management Conference. Dr. Hemme begins with a demonstration of three different-sized glasses of milk representing the daily average dairy consumption in China, Europe, and the world as a whole. He explains that when you make predictions, it's good to identify the two main drivers of uncertainty in your industry. In the case of dairy, he cites whether or not people like dairy and whether or not they can afford it. He goes on to describe the four scenarios that can be created from those main drivers: people like dairy and can afford it, people don't like dairy but could afford it, people like dairy but can't afford it, and people don't like dairy and can't afford it. (4:05)Walt asks Dr. Hemme to give some perspective on what makes a country a reliable exporter built for the global economy. He gives a unique example of how American football versus soccer compares to exporting dairy from the US to the global market. Matt chimes in with his perspective on how DFA is positioning the industry for exports. He notes that we live in the world of VUCA - volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity - and that we have a lot of VUCA happening in the US right now. In general, he's very bullish on our natural resources, management skills, and technical capability in the US dairy industry. (10:17)The panel discusses who in the world is going to be able to meet the building demand for dairy products, and what the US might need to do to be a major player - in essence, moving from playing football to playing soccer. Dr. Hemme gives culture, policy, and relationship building as potential challenges for the US. (16:37)Matt is encouraged by the new investments in processing plants in the US and looks for a “build it and we will grow into it” scenario as we move forward. Dr. Hemme agrees that the processors are on board. But he wonders about the dairy farm side - no growth in cow numbers, not much growth in production, and breeding so many cows with beef semen makes him think the US is not believing in a growing dairy industry. He also talks about changing interest rates over time and impact on capital management. (25:50)The panel discusses the US milk price compared to the world milk price, the cost of production, and exchange rates. (29:45)Matt gives some perspective on beef-on-dairy. As the beef cycle levels back out and more beef heifers are retained, he forecasts fewer dairy cows being bred to beef semen and an increase in the supply and retention of dairy heifers. (34:31)Dr. Hemme talks about dairy demand and global population growth trends and predictions. (39:38)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

Guest: Paul Turek, MD, FACS, FRSM, Founder of The Turek Clinic Host: Dan Bulger, Progyny The Fertility 101 Series, because there's no shortage of daunting terms to keep your mind running, is a quick and dirty breakdown on a specific topic with insights from a fertility expert. When it comes to fertility, men are half of the equation, but too often, they're the half that gets forgotten or overlooked. This Men's Health Month, we're joined by Dr. Paul Turek, a world-renowned urologist and male fertility expert, to talk all things sperm, from how it's made to how it affects fertility and IVF. Dr. Turek explains how sperm health isn't just about making babies, it's also a sign of a man's overall health, tied to things like life expectancy, cancer risk, and heart health. Dr. Turek also tells us about his podcast, Talk with Turek, where he and Rob Clyde expose men's health and talk about it frankly – tackling the issues that matter. So, if you want to hear more on men's health from Dr. Turek, you're in luck! And if you've never thought about getting a semen analysis, this episode might change that. Whether you're thinking about starting a family, planning for the future, or just want to stay healthy, your sperm may tell you more than you could believe.

Hey Heal Squad! In Part 2 of our powerful chat with digital creator and mom-of-one Rebecca Zamolo, we dive into the emotional aftermath that no one prepares you for. Rebecca gets honest about what it was like to finally get pregnant after years of IVF and surgery—only to be met with anxiety, grief, and PTSD instead of the joy she expected. From high-risk pregnancy fears to the moment she almost quit YouTube altogether, this episode explores what happens when your dream comes true… but healing still hasn't arrived. We also talk about miscarriage, the pressure to show up for millions online while breaking inside, and how she and her husband made the decision to grow their family via surrogacy. Rebecca shares what she's learned about letting go of control, navigating grief, and how to prepare emotionally for baby #2 when your heart's still healing from baby #1. This one's for anyone who's ever had to keep hoping, even when it hurts. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS: Healing after IVF takes more than a pregnancy. Even after a successful round, Rebecca still faced anxiety, grief, and PTSD from her previous loss. Emotional healing doesn't automatically follow physical outcomes—it requires space, support, and time. You don't have to “stay strong” all the time. Rebecca opens up about the pressure to be positive for others while silently struggling. She reminds us that giving yourself permission to not be okay is a crucial part of real healing. It's okay to reconsider your path. After years of chasing content creation success, Rebecca nearly walked away from YouTube. Her story shows that healing may require stepping back from what no longer aligns—even if it once did. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram Website TikTok YouTube Fertility Supplements Ostomy Secrets ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.
