Fertility challenges are more common than we realise-'1 in 8 women (1 in 6 in Canada) suffer a fertility challenge. And those are the ones that speak out.' All of us probably know multiple women who have had struggles with their fertility, and we probably know even more who never spoke out. Monica is a straight-talking, no-nonsense Functional Fertility Coach who will help you get to the root cause of your struggle and help you to heal your body so that you too can go on the pregnancy journey. This is a fantastic, easy-to-understand deep dive into her journey with fertility struggles and how she healed her mind and body and came out on the other side with 2 beautiful boys. Some of my favourite takeaways are: *'Pregnancy isn't a sign of health.' *'How can the rest of your body regenerate but your eggs can't? It doesn't make sense.' *'I'd like to say my drive to become a mother was what pushed me but, if I am honest, it was the people telling me I couldn't do it.' *'When you see your little wins, that is what keeps you going.'

In this episode of Being Unapologetically Authentic, I am joined by Monica Cox, as she shares her journey and how she had to re-discover who her true self before she could find success through her fertility journey. Monica Cox is a top Functional Fertility Coach and Infertility Warrior. She helps women get to the bottom of their fertility issues, using science-based functional medicine to help increase their chances of getting and staying pregnant. She dealt with years of unexplained infertility, failed IVF's & survived several miscarriages before becoming an IVF mom & getting pregnant natural even though the doctors said there was nothing she could do to improve her situation. Author of the best-selling journals Boost Your Embryos, Baby & Me, and Fertility Food and host of the highly popular podcast Finding Fertility, Monica is dedicated to inspiring women to look beyond their infertility diagnosis and take control of their health through clean eating and simplifying their lifestyle. Her signature online program, The Fertility Formula & personal Fertility Focused Coaching, has helped woman increase their chances of creating the family of their dreams. Like many other young females, Monica began her fertility journey at the age of 27, believing that it would be easy to get pregnant. As Monica puts it, "there were no warning signs or big issues" with her body. What she eventually discovered was that she had a naturally high number of killer cells that attacked her embryos. After her initial attempt at IVF failed, Monica began to search for other answers. She tuned in to herself, knowing herself that she was not "infertile", which is what her doctors had labeled her. This is when she found functional fertility and began her journey to finding how her body would support her pregnancies.  Tune in to hear how Monica was able to find her way to healing her body so that she could then have children by simply listening to what she knew of her body.
