Should you really stay in bed after an embryo transfer? For years, many fertility clinics recommended 24–48 hours of strict bed rest, but research now reveals surprising insights: movement may actually support better outcomes. In this episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I explore what the latest studies say about bed rest versus gentle movement after transfer. I also share holistic, evidence-based practices from both Western research and Traditional Chinese Medicine that can help create the most supportive environment for implantation. You'll learn about the role of acupuncture before and after transfer, nourishing foods and supplements that enhance blood flow and uterine receptivity, and mind-body practices, from meditation to laughter therapy, that ease stress and boost outcomes. Whether you're preparing for an IVF cycle or supporting someone on this journey, this episode is packed with practical, compassionate guidance to empower you with knowledge and ease during this important stage. Key Takeaways: Extended bed rest after embryo transfer may not improve success rates and could reduce them. Gentle movement supports circulation and aligns with TCM principles for reducing stagnation. Acupuncture before and after transfer can significantly enhance implantation success. Warm, nourishing foods like bone broth and circulation-supporting foods like beets are beneficial. Supplements such as CoQ10, vitamin E, omega-3s, and L-arginine may support uterine health (always consult your clinic). Stress management, meditation, time off work, and even laughter therapy can positively impact outcomes.

This Sunday, guest Pastor John Mark Comer brought a timely word about receiving true rest in the gentle and humble heart of Jesus Christ when He reveals the Father to those who believe. As folowers of Jesus, we too must be in pursuit of becoming both gentle and humble. When we actively meditate on the heart of Jesus, we can receive the true rest that comes through confidence in who Jesus is instead of our own striving to manage and manipulate the outcomes of the world, and be more deeply formed into His image.

In this episode, I share why I've been off mainstream media (and feel calmer, clearer, and more engaged), how I stay informed on my terms, and what the Tao Te Ching and Stoicism taught me about hope that does the work. We'll look at the “doom loop,” why outrage isn't engagement, and how to channel energy into real life—voting, volunteering, showing up for people you love—without pretending everything's fine. Along the way, I unpack a Tao passage that once infuriated me (“You can't improve the world”) and how it ultimately freed me: the world is imperfect—and we make it better anyway.

This is your day to shine. Paul writes to the Philippians, “Let your gentleness be evident to all.” It's a quality so central to the heart of Jesus that he chose it as the word to describe himself: “I am gentle and humble in heart.” Paul would have known how radical that sounded. He'd grown up admiring zeal, the kind that would do anything or go to any length to defend God's honor. For Paul, zeal was something you did with a knife. But on the road to Damascus, everything changed. God redefined zeal for Paul. He encountered a God who doesn't strike down enemies but stretches out his hands for them. For Jesus, zeal was something he did on a cross. Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

The views expressed by guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the host or Pleasure in the Pause.Struggling with hot flashes, anxiety, sleepless nights, or joint pain during perimenopause or menopause? In this episode of Pleasure In the Pause, host Gabriella Espinosa welcomes menopause yoga pioneer Petra Coveney to explore how ancient yoga practices can ease common menopause symptoms and support your journey through midlife. Discover why stress management is the foundation of menopause wellness, learn breath work techniques that calm anxiety in minutes, and explore the beautiful concept of "Second Spring"—a reframing of post-menopause as a time of reblossoming and renewed vitality.Petra Coveney is the creator of Menopause Yoga™ (2013), a senior yoga teacher, trainer and author of two books on menopause.Her first book ‘Menopause Yoga - a Holistic Guide to Supporting Women on their Menopause Journey,' (2021) accompanies her internationally accredited teachers' training course. She has trained more than 1,000 Menopause Yoga teachers in over 40 countries and her course was translated into Japanese.Her NEW (very pink) book ‘Menopause & Wellbeing - a Daily Practice Guide for Perimenopause to Second Spring' is published this month (October). ‘She' is friendly bedside table guide for people going through this stage of life, and for teachers and therapists working one-to-one.stage of life.Highlights from our discussion include:Hormonal changes during menopause create an internal stress response that, combined with life stressors, can worsen every symptom from hot flashes to insomnia through elevated cortisol and inflammation.Simple practices like the "hot flush mantra," 3-minute anxiety meditation, and birthday candle breath for rage provide evidence-based relief in minutes and can be done discreetly anywhere.Drawing from Traditional Chinese Medicine, post-menopause can be reframed as a time of rebirth and reblossoming when you prioritize your health and wellbeing through the transition.Beyond physical relief, yoga reconnects you with your inner wisdom and helps you cultivate daily pleasure—whether through dancing, nature, or intimacy—strengthening your capacity for vitality and love.Gentle pelvic floor practices using breath work and imagery support genitourinary symptoms, sexual pleasure, and overall wellbeing without shame or stigma.Your body already has the wisdom you need. The answers are within you—you just need to breathe, listen, and trust yourself. Remember: Second Spring is real, but it requires you to care for your health and wellbeing as you travel through perimenopause and menopause.CONNECT WITH PETRA COVENEY:InstagramYou can buy her books on Amazon -  or from the publishers' website www.singingdragon.com and receive a 25% discount.

After years of dieting, many women find themselves stuck in a cycle of self-doubt, overthinking, and questioning every decision they make about food, movement, and their bodies. In this episode, I'm joined by trauma therapist turned author Emily Romero, creator of The Self-Trust Model™, to talk about what it really means to rebuild self-trust, especially after years of trying to “fix” your body.

Whether you're just starting your intuitive eating journey or you've been working on body peace for a while, this conversation will help you come home to yourself with more compassion and clarity. ✨ Topics we cover: – Why dieting often disconnects us from self-trust – How trauma can impact your relationship with food and body image – What “parts work” is and how it helps with healing – Why it's okay to still want weight loss, and how to hold space for that – Gentle, doable ways to reconnect with your intuition today Resources Mentioned   - Grab a copy of Emily's book You Can Trust Yourself - Follow Emily Romero on Instagram - Emily Romero's website   Read the full episode show notes here.   Resources for Your Intuitive Eating Journey   Join Katy's weekly newsletter for intuitive eating tips!

Parenting a dysregulated child can leave you drained and second-guessing yourself. You try connecting, you set boundaries—yet the meltdowns, backtalk, and big emotions just don't stop. But here's the truth: it's not bad parenting—it's a dysregulated brain. And there is a way forward.In this episode, I'll introduce Regulation First Parenting—a practical, science-backed approach that helps children calm their nervous systems so connection and teaching can actually stick. You'll learn why traditional parenting advice often backfires, how co-regulation works, and what steps you can take today to bring more peace into your home.Why does my child melt down after school even when I try to connect?Many parents wonder, “Why does my child explode the minute they walk through the door?” You're not imagining it. When kids are running on stress responses, connection without regulation falls flat. Their nervous system is in survival mode, and even the kindest validation can unintentionally make anxiety and distress worse.That's why regulation has to come first. Until the brain is calm, your child simply can't access learning, connection, or even your love in the way you want them to.Regulation comes before connection. A dysregulated brain can't learn or fully receive your love and guidance.Gentle parenting without boundaries fuels dysregulation. Endless empathy without calm structure leaves kids feeling more overwhelmed.Behavior is communication. Every meltdown is your child's nervous system saying, “I need support, not punishment.”When you shift to this Regulation First Parenting mindset, you stop spinning your wheels and begin giving your child the calm foundation they need to eventually learn self regulation skills, emotional awareness, and positive outcomes.Want to stay calm when your child pushes every button?Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP and get the FREE Regulation Rescue Kit—your step-by-step guide to stop oppositional behaviors without yelling or giving in.Go to www.drroseann.com/newsletter and grab your kit today.How can I help my child regulate their emotions in difficult moments?Your child's nervous system syncs with yours through co-regulation. When you stay calm, they can borrow your calm.Over time, this builds their ability to self regulate.Tips for practicing co regulation:Model calm stress responses. Use deep breathing, softer facial expressions, or a gentle rhythm in your voice.Pause before reacting. Even a few seconds of self reflection helps you manage your own triggers.Practice mindfulness. A deep breath or butterfly tapping resets your body so you can respond instead of react.Use the traffic light model. Using this model helps parents feel less overwhelmed because it gives you a clear roadmap for when to pause, when to support, and when to guide your child's behavior.Red = stop talking. When your child is in full meltdown, their brain is in survival mode. This is the time to focus on your own calm, not correction.Yellow = stress is lowering. As their body begins to settle, your co-regulation helps them feel safe enough to start regaining control.Green = learning can happen. Once calm returns, your child's prefrontal cortex is back online. This is when connection and teaching finally stick.Why do discipline and sticker charts...

Infertility can feel like the deepest kind of weakness — like your body has failed you, your prayers are unheard, and you're left behind. But Scripture tells us something radically different. In this Fruitful Fertility episode, we dive into 2 Corinthians 12:9 and explore how infertility is not a sign of neglect from Christ, but an opportunity to experience His strength in your weakness. You'll hear: ✨ Why Paul's words in 2 Corinthians 12:9 are so powerful for women walking through infertility. ✨ How weakness is not failure, but the exact place where God shows up most. ✨ Why your infertility is not proof of God's absence, but a sacred space for deeper connection with Him. ✨ Gentle encouragement for the days you feel unseen, unheard, or “too weak” to keep going. If you've ever asked, “Where is God in my infertility?” — this episode will remind you that you are not forgotten, and His power is made perfect in your weakness.   Join The Conception Connection  The Conception Connection    Shop my favortie fertility boosting supplements Rise + Source   Let's do HTMA together!

In this candid conversation, couples and sex therapist Dr. Nicole Van Ness, LMFT joins Dr. Marianne to explore how developmental trauma shapes attachment styles, body image, sexual desire, and day-to-day intimacy. Nicole explains what developmental trauma is, how it differs from or overlaps with complex PTSD, and why chronic misattunement in childhood can echo through adult relationships, stress responses, and self-regulation. You will hear practical, compassionate strategies to rebuild safety, agency, and connection in your body and with your partner. What You'll Learn Developmental trauma 101: How repeated misattunement and lack of repair in childhood influence trust, safety, and the nervous system in adulthood. Attachment and sex: How anxious and avoidant patterns can create desire pursuer–withdrawer cycles, sensitivity to rejection, and misaligned invitations for sex. Body image and pleasure: Why self-loathing, dissociation, and low interoceptive awareness can shift sex from pleasure to performance and how to return to embodied enjoyment. Masturbation as self-care: Ways self-pleasure can restore agency, support trauma recovery, and improve partnered intimacy through curiosity, consent, and pacing. Desire discrepancy: How to reframe a declined invitation as information rather than personal rejection and how to stay connected when desire levels differ. Pelvic and sexual pain: How chronic stress and hypervigilance can contribute to issues like vaginismus and pelvic floor tension and why relaxation and safety matter. Neurodivergence and RSD: Tools for identifying rejection sensitive dysphoria in the moment and naming it with your partner to reduce spirals and repair faster. Eroticism and aliveness: Gentle, stepwise practices that rebuild embodiment and pleasure, from sensing music and movement to sharing desire with a partner. Key Takeaways Trauma adaptations are creative survival strategies. They deserve respect while you learn new options that fit your current life. Pleasure requires enough safety, agency, and self-worth to receive and enjoy it. These ingredients can be rebuilt. Honest conversations about boundaries, pacing, and permission support intimacy more than duty or performance. Small, consistent body-based practices help restore interoception, reduce hypervigilance, and widen your window of tolerance during sex and affection. Gentle Practices to Try Name your nervous system state: Am I keyed up, shut down, or settled. Choose regulation first. Solo exploration with care: Treat self-pleasure like self-nurture. Slow it down. Focus on sensation, comfort, and curiosity. Low-stakes embodiment: Sway to a favorite song, notice breath, enjoy soft fabrics, or feel grass under your feet. Build from neutral to pleasant sensations. Clear invitations and exits: Ask for what you want. Offer options. Affirm that no is welcome. Agree on easy ways to pause or change course. Rejection reframe: A no is information about timing or capacity, not your worth. Validate disappointment and stay connected.

In this moving episode of What Makes You Tick?, Tatiana and Tom invite us into a conversation that is both tender and brave. Over the course of their dialogue, they weave together reflections on loss, the process of healing, and how we find meaning in the cracks of life. From the beginning, Tatiana opens up about the rawness of grief, how it can feel like being both here and not here, and how the world insists on moving forward even when your heart doesn't. Tom listens with a generosity that creates space for vulnerability. He shares stories of his own challenges, the moments when he felt lost, and the practices he turned to when he needed to hold himself together. Together, they explore themes of connection: how love continues beyond absence, how small rituals anchor us, and how the people around us can become lifelines, even when we're fumbling. They talk about the importance of presence — of being able to say, “I don't know,” “I'm hurting,” or “I'm scared” and how those admissions can become bridges rather than barriers. By the close, there's a gentle shift: not a “cure” for suffering, but a sense of companionship in it. You, the listener, are invited into that space, to sit with your own wounds, to sense that you are seen, and to carry forward with a little more softness for yourself. What to expect in this episode: Honest vulnerability about grief, absence, and memory Personal stories that feel like letters to the heart Gentle encouragement to be kind to yourself in your toughest moments And a reminder: healing is rarely a straight path but you don't have to walk it alone

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with “health detective” Beth Mielbrecht about moving beyond trial-and-error wellness. Beth blends engineering-style problem solving with energetic and bioindividual approaches to help people identify root causes—rather than silencing symptoms. From digestion and detox to stress, grief, and belief systems, she explains how tuning into your body's signals can drive practical change in daily choices. This direct conversation challenges “it's just age/genetics” thinking and offers a clear path: ask better questions, listen closely, and take aligned action.   About the guest : Beth Mielbrecht, known as a “health detective,” combines a background in mechanical engineering with training in Reiki, homeopathy, and bioenergetic testing. She helps clients uncover individualized root causes and create targeted next steps—without medical diagnosis or one-size-fits-all fixes.   Key takeaways:   Your body is not the enemy—it's always trying to heal; symptoms are messages, not mistakes. Treating pain without asking “why now, why here?” can mute signals but miss the root cause. Daily elimination, safe detoxification, and reducing exposure to common toxins can unlock stalled progress. Emotions matter: grief and chronic stress often map onto physical weak spots (e.g., lungs, adrenals, thyroid). Beliefs shape outcomes; closing the door on possibility narrows what you try—and what works. Practical cadence: ask specific questions → listen to what changes symptoms → act on small, testable steps. Track patterns (food, sleep, people, places) to see what reliably helps or harms. “Whole-body” isn't anti-medicine; it's expanding your health team and methods when standard paths stall. Gentle, personalized support (e.g., homeopathic/energetic tools) can increase capacity to move, engage, and live. Progress compounds: relief in one area (e.g., joints) can catalyze energy, mood, and life decisions.   How to connect with the guest  : Website: yourhealthwithbeth.comSocial: @YourHealthWithBethFree quiz available on the website.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In February 2017, teenagers Liberty German and Abigail Williams were murdered while walking in the woods near Delphi, Indiana. The next day, their bodies were discovered, and investigators revealed that Liberty had recorded a brief video of the suspect ordering the girls to “go down the hill.” After years of speculation, dead ends, and online conspiracy theories, the 2022 arrest of local resident Richard Allen threw the case into an even deeper firestorm of controversy. Guest Bio and Links: Áine Cain and Kevin Greenlee Journalist Áine Cain and attorney Kevin Greenlee are the husband-and-wife team behind The Murder Sheet, an investigative true-crime podcast that made national news with its reporting on the Delphi case. They recently co-authored "Shadow of the Bridge," the first book to chronicle the murders of Liberty German and Abigail Williams and the investigation that followed. The Murder Sheet Podcast Shadow of the Bridge: The Delphi Murders and the Dark Side of the American Heartland Missed their first Zone 7 episode? Behind the Scenes of the Delphi Trial: Haunting Truths, Unbreakable Community, and Justice in Focus In this episode of Zone 7, Sheryl McCollum is joined once again by journalist Áine Cain and attorney Kevin Greenlee, the duo behind The Murder Sheet podcast, to talk about their book, "Shadow of the Bridge," and what it took to cover the Delphi case. They describe the cramped courtroom and strict no reentry policy, the grind of working 17- to 18-hour days under a gag order, and how they decided what information to include in their book. They also explain why they approach the “Odinism” claims with a critical, evidence-based lens, and what it was like to finally reveal information the jury, and the public never saw.
