You've been taught vulnerability is strength, but what if that's half the truth—and it's costing you more than you realize? This week, DawnCheré Wilkerson joins me to dismantle the hidden toll of isolation. She shares how walking through infertility, life's furnace, and unsurfaced grief fractures the soul, and how secrets rob you of belonging before you even realize it. DawnCheré exposes why vulnerability isn't a spotlight; it's a sanctuary that demands integrity. She unpacks the orphan spirit every believer must resist, warns against idolizing therapy as the endpoint, and offers a path forward: a refusal to run, safety in community, and the spiritual grit to stay alive. If you're tired of pretending you're fine…if your pain feels invisible…and if you've mistaken therapy for healing, this episode is your call to come home.

Send us a textYou've heard of estrogen, maybe even LH—but the real superhero in fertility? It's progesterone.In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols reveals how progesterone silently supports pregnancy, stabilizes the uterine lining, and prevents early contractions—all without the recognition it deserves.We break down the science: how progesterone is made from cholesterol, how it converts into testosterone and estrogen, and how granulosa and theca cells work together to build a pregnancy-ready uterus.Plus, Dr. Amols explains why blood levels may look “low” on vaginal progesterone, why that doesn't mean treatment failure, and why route of delivery really matters—especially in frozen embryo transfers.Whether you're trying naturally, doing IUI, or planning an FET, this episode will help you understand what progesterone is really doing behind the scenes—and why it might just be the most important hormone you never thought about.Thanks for tuning in to another episode of 'Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday' with Dr. Mark Amols.

Feeling left out because you don't have kids is one of life's cruelest aches. Feeling like friends, community, and life are moving on without you hurts more than anyone could imagine. This episode is about that. In this episode, we dive into the deep ache of feeling left out during infertility and how isolating it can be when your story doesn't match everyone else's milestones. We unpack what it really means to “fit in” versus truly belong, and why the difference matters so much when you're longing for connection but feel stuck on the outside. If you've ever wondered where you fit when your path looks different, this conversation is for you.Uniquely Knitted exists to transform the experience of infertility. Our mission is to heal the traumas of infertility, miscarriage, and loss, and to end the isolation that comes with struggling to conceive.

If you have spent years going through fertility treatments like IVF, pouring everything into your dream of motherhood, and still found yourself without a child, you know how heavy it feels to imagine a future that could ever feel as meaningful. In this week's episode, Lana shares a deeply personal story about standing on a piece of vacant land in Michigan, a place she and her husband dreamed of building their future home, and realizing that the path to something beautiful isn't coming without obstacles. If you're childless after infertility, it's so easy to believe your life will always feel smaller or less significant than those who got to have a child or raise children. You probably haven't seen many examples ofchildless women living fulfilling, connected lives without kids, so your brain fills in the blanks, telling you that it must be impossible for you. But just because you don't see the path doesn't mean it isn't there. In this episode, you'll hear: ✨ Why your brain convinces you that a meaningful life after infertility doesn't exist—and how that belief is just a story, not a fact. ✨ What to do when you feel like you're staring at a mound of sand that's blocking everything you wanted. ✨ How learning to trust yourself, even without a roadmap, is the first step to feeling proud of your life again. ✨ The truth about why feeling stuck doesn't mean you're broken, it just means you haven't been shown another way yet. If you're ready to stop assuming nothing will ever compare to motherhood and start creating a life that feels purposeful and satisfying, this episode will remind you: more is possible, even if you can't see it yet.

"Your periods shouldn't be unbearably painful. Most women in their 50s will experience dryness. Muscle mass matters more than being thin." These are just some of the straightforward truths nurse midwife Claire McStacy shares in this comprehensive conversation about women's health through the decades.From establishing care in your twenties to navigating the changes of menopause, this episode cuts through the noise of trending TikTok videos to deliver practical guidance on what's actually happening in your body and what you can do about it. McStacy brings 23 years of experience to address questions many women have but don't know who to ask: When should cervical cancer screening begin? (Age 21.) What does perimenopause actually feel like? (Brain fog, irregular periods, and possibly up to ten years of symptoms.) How do hormones affect your heart health after menopause? (Significantly, women lose estrogen's protective effects, making heart attack risk similar to men's, though symptoms present differently.)The conversation tackles critical but often overlooked topics, including PCOS (affecting 8% of women), the importance of preconception health, managing fibroids (particularly common among African American women) and the benefits and risks of hormone replacement therapy. Throughout, McStacy emphasizes the importance of establishing and maintaining a relationship with your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.Perhaps most powerfully, this episode challenges listeners to prioritize self-care at every stage of life. As McStacy notes, "When you have time for yourself, you have time for everybody else." Whether you're concerned about fertility in your twenties, managing work-life balance in your thirties, noticing perimenopausal symptoms in your forties or navigating post-menopausal changes in your fifties, this comprehensive guide helps you understand what's normal, when to seek help and how to advocate for your health.For more content from Centra Health check us out on the following channels.YouTubeFacebookInstagramTwitter

In today's episode I'm diving deep into one of the most debated questions of PCOS and fertility - should you be eating a low-carb diet when preparing for pregnancy with PCOS? If you've ever wondered why blood sugar seems to fluctuate more when you have PCOS, or why so many experts talk about insulin resistance and its impact on your fertility journey, you're in the right place. In this episode, I break down the science behind why PCOS makes you more susceptible to insulin resistance and what that actually means for your body and your hormones. I'll explore why blood sugar swings are more common with PCOS, how those ups and downs can affect ovulation and egg quality, and—most importantly—what you can do about it with your food choices. But here's where it gets really interesting. While low-carb and keto diets are often promoted as the “fix” for PCOS, the truth is much more nuanced. I'll share why these diets can sometimes backfire, especially when you're trying to conceive, and what you need to know to truly support your fertility and hormone health for the long term.

 Your Meaning as a Childless Woman After Infertility If you ever find yourself waking up on a Saturday, staring at a day that is completely yours and feeling more suffocated than free, this episode is for you. Maybe you spent years picturing weekends packed with soccer games, birthday parties, college visits, and noisy family trips.  You imagined how all the hard parts of infertility and IVF would feel worth it once you finally had your baby in your arms. But here you are, childless after infertility, and the quiet moments you thought would feel peaceful just feel heavy. And if you have ever caught yourself actually enjoying your life now, maybe a spontaneous trip, an afternoon reading, or a coffee date with your partner, only to feel instant guilt because you think it “looks bad” to be happy without kids, you are not alone. You might think: I shouldn't enjoy this because it means I am okay with what happened. I am betraying the woman I was, the one who fought so hard to be a mom. Other people will think I didn't care enough if I can move on. This episode will remind you: ✨ You are allowed to love parts of your life right now. ✨ You are allowed to find meaning, peace, and purpose, even if motherhood didn't happen. ✨ You don't have to spend the next 40 years waiting for something that will never come. Inside this conversation, you will learn: ✔️ Why weekends and free time feel so triggering when you are unexpectedly childless ✔️ How to stop feeling guilty for enjoying what you have now ✔️ Why this struggle doesn't mean you are broken or that you didn't want motherhood enough ✔️ How to start creating a life you genuinely love without comparing it to the life you dreamed of This is exactly why I created Thrive After Infertility. Thrive is my 12-week coaching program for women who are tired of feeling stuck, invisible, or like life is just happening to them instead of for them. Inside Thrive, you will learn how to:

Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. In this episode of Fertility Docs Uncensored, the doctors tackle your most pressing questions about polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Many PCOS patients have high AMH levels, and often that means more eggs at retrieval. However, sometimes a high egg count doesn't always translate into more embryos or more to transfer, and the Docs explain why quantity doesn't always equal quality. They also dive into IUI cycles for PCOS patients, including the advantages of combining IUI with ovulation induction. The team recommends limiting ovulation induction + IUI attempts to no more than three or four before considering other options. For those with a history of miscarriage, they emphasize the importance of a thorough recurrent pregnancy loss workup, regardless of PCOS status. Should you move to IVF sooner? The docs explore that too—especially for those wanting multiple children, facing recurrent miscarriage, or when male factor issues are in play. The episode wraps with a discussion of medications like metformin and inositols, and when to consider laparoscopy—typically reserved for symptoms like painful periods or signs of endometriosis. This podcast was sponsored by ReceptivaDx.

In this episode, Kelsey is joined by Dr. Rachel Corradetti-Sargeant to explore a topic that's rarely discussed on the Visionary Life Podcast but incredibly important, fertility especially for high-achieving women balancing business and family goals. Drawing from over a decade of experience as a naturopathic doctor specializing in fertility, Dr. Rachel shares the realities many women face when trying to conceive, the common challenges like PCOS and thyroid imbalances, and how stress and modern lifestyles factors play a crucial role. We unpack the myth that “women can do it all” without consequences and dive into how timing, understanding your cycle, and environmental toxins impact fertility. Dr. Corradetti-Sargeant shares practical advice on how to navigate this journey without overwhelm, emphasizing self-compassion over perfection. For entrepreneurs and busy women, this episode is a reminder that while ambition is vital, so is listening to your body, setting non-negotiable wellness habits, and seeking the right support when you need it. Whether you're just starting to think about family or deep in the process, Rachel's wisdom offers clarity and hope. They also chat about:Why fertility awareness should start early, especially by your 30sCommon hidden factors that can impact fertility like PCOS, thyroid issues, and lifestyle habitsThe nuanced role of stress in conception and why “just relax” is not enoughHow environmental toxins and everyday choices influence reproductive healthPractical steps to balance your business ambitions with family planningThe importance of personalized care and expert guidance in fertility journeysHow to honor your menstrual cycle phases without overcomplicating your lifeTIMESTAMPS:[00:07:10] Why fertility conversations need to start early and how high-achieving women are uniquely impacts[00:10:31] – The benefits of understanding your cycle and testing your hormones before you're ready to conceive.[00:15:21] – Why “just relax” isn't helpful advice[00:23:29] – Free 6-pillar fertility wellness challenge and her masterclass on understanding your cycle.[00:31:34] – How there's no such thing as perfect fertility.[00:38:25] – The impact of Infertility, pregnancy loss, and parenting shaped Dr. Rachel's career journey.[00:41:36] – The Systems That Keep Her Practice RunningTO CONNECT WITH DR.

Ep. 191: This episode includes discussion of infertility and pregnancy loss—please listen with care.

We are just a hologram projection of the patterns we run from our past until we stand up and change them. Topics Discussed Functional vs. Western medicine thyroid ranges How perfectionism and suppressed expression block healing Gut healing as the foundation of hormonal balance Misleading food sensitivity tests Energetics of autoimmune fertility challenges Releasing childhood wounds stored in the body Energetics of healing the inner child You think just because it hasn't happened yet, you need medical assistance. But what if that timing is your transformation? Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here... Today's episode goes deep; we're talking about thyroids, but not just the kind your lab work pretends is fine. I'm cutting through the medical gaslighting and calling out the perfectionism that's been silently running your show since you were a girl who learned being good and quiet was safer than being heard. You don't need a thyroid diagnosis to feel this one. We're looking at how being a high-achieving, Type A goddess with zero chill and a tightly clenched jaw might actually be the root of your fertility struggle. Yeah, I said it. It's not about pink lines; it is about reclaiming your voice, body, and energy from the inside out. If your gut is “healed” but you still can't get pregnant, or if your labs are “normal” but your intuition is screaming, this episode is your reminder: your healing journey is not a damn checklist. It's a reckoning. If you're doing all the things and still feel stuck in the same fertility loop, this one's for you. We're diving into the kind of work that doesn't show up on lab reports but lives in your nervous system. That burning sensation in your throat? It might not just be your thyroid. It could be decades of words unsaid, versions of your unseen, and emotions unexpressed. If you're done outsourcing your healing and ready to become the most expressed, magnetic, and deeply safe version of you. Press play. Your healing journey isn't about doing more. It's about becoming more of who you were before the world told you to be less. Timestamps 02:23 Perfectionism, not being heard, and how it links to fertility blocks. 06:15 Understanding when medical support is needed and why you should go into it empowered. 07:35 What Western medicine misses in thyroid testing and why thyroid is the root cause for fertility struggles.   10:17 Gut health truths that no one is telling you and the importance of doing the right things for you. 12:23 Why your “clean” diet might still be inflammatory and the energetic root of thyroid issues. 18:04 How your body holds on to old emotional wounds and how to release that pain. 23:18 Why physical and energetic healing must happen together. The reason that situation still impacts your life is because you're still holding the emotion tied to it.

In this episode of IVF Uncovered, we meet Amy, who shares her inspiring IVF journey. Amy's story begins with three failed IUIs, a heartbreaking miscarriage, and a chemical pregnancy. Determined not to waste any more time, Amy sought expert advice and support instead of relying on unreliable sources. Trusting her instincts and the expertise of Tasha and her team, she successfully got pregnant after just one egg retrieval and embryo transfer. Amy discusses her proactive approach, the importance of advocating for herself, and the benefits of seeking personalized guidance through the IVF process. Now 17 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby girl, Amy reflects on overcoming challenges, maintaining a positive mindset, and the critical role of having the right support system in achieving her dream of starting a family.     Get Personalized IVF Support: ►Sign up for a strategy session WITH TASHA HERSELF!

I'm sharing an update on my fertility journey, including my recent diagnosis of stage four endometriosis and the path I've been walking with IVF, pain, and uncertainty.This episode is for anyone navigating the silent, often invisible world of chronic health issues — especially those that impact fertility. I talk about the emotional weight of receiving a severe diagnosis, the maze of medical decisions, and the moments that brought me to my knees — and also back to my breath.You'll hear about the practices that have supported me: meditation, therapy, spirituality, and the small rituals that have helped me stay connected to myself in the midst of it all.

If you're childless after infertility or IVF and wondering how to move forward in a life that looks nothing like what you imagined, this episode of The “So Now What?” Podcast is for you. You did everything you could to become a mother. You prayed, tried, hoped, and gave it your all. And now you're living in the aftermath of a dream that didn't come true, with no guide for how to feel whole again.

Perhaps you've been carrying that weight so long, it feels like part of your identity. But what if it isn't? In this episode, I'm offering you one of the most radical truths I've ever learned on the other side of IVF and infertility:

Let's call this what it is: a fertility crisis rooted in diet culture. This week, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest lies women have been sold—the 1,200-calorie “healthy” diet—and how it's quietly contributing to infertility. In this truth-bomb episode, we dive into: Why 1,200 calories is toddler-level nutrition, not adult female fuel How under-eating disrupts hormone production and shuts down ovulation What Functional Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (FHA) really is—and why it's so common  Real-life client success: how Morgan went from overtraining + under-eating to ovulating and getting pregnant—naturally Today's episode is brought to you by our exclusive program, Premier Period Recovery for Fertility.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is often seen as a triumph of reproductive freedom, but its origins are deeply entangled with patriarchy, pronatalism, and eugenics. Pamela Mahoney Tsigdinos, IVF survivor and author of Silent Sorority and Finally Heard, discusses how under-regulation and cultural obsession with biological motherhood allows the multi-billion dollar fertility industry to obscure the truth about its low success rates and the trauma it causes. Highlights include: What the IVF process entails how time-consuming, expensive, and emotionally and physically wrenching it is; How John Rock, pioneer of the birth control pill, was motivated by a religiously pronatalist desire to help specifically Catholic women conceive, and how IVF pioneer, Patrick Steptoe, performed experimental gynecological procedures on hundreds of women without their consent; How the multi-billion dollar fertility industry both benefits from and exacerbates pronatalism and exploits the hope of vulnerable patients, who are often treated as commodities, through aggressive marketing, unproven add-on services, and cherry-picked success rates; How Pamela found deep emotional connection with online communities around the world - the 'silent sorority' of IVF survivors; How pronatalist culture magnifies the emotional pain for IVF patients, surrounding them with pronatalist expectations and deeply rooted stereotypes, especially against women without children; Why feminist empowerment rhetoric can backfire if it uncritically promotes fertility services without acknowledging the exploitative practices and emotional toll experienced by the many female patients in the fertility industry; How individuals struggling with infertility can make better informed decisions about their available options.

The podcast explores needed narrative, behavioral, and system shifts for recreating human life in balance with all life on Earth. With expert guests from wide-ranging disciplines, we examine the forces underlying overshoot: from patriarchal pronatalism that is fueling overpopulation, to growth-biased economic systems that lead to consumerism and social injustice, to the dominant worldview of human supremacy that subjugates animals and nature. Our vision of shrinking toward abundance inspires us to seek pathways of transformation that go beyond technological fixes toward a new humanity that honors our interconnectedness with all beings.  Hosted by Nandita Bajaj and Alan Ware.
