Boy oh boy does it sound fancy AF to say this but…   I decided to hire a publicist to get the word out about my book, Fertile Ground, that’ll be released in a week! A WEEK!    She’s worked with Vogue, Serena Willliams and Ralph Lauren. She’s a feminist. And gorgeous. I love her.    Her name is Liz Dennery and she asked if she could interview me on the Fertile Ground podcast.    I said duh, of course.    She asked me some really cool questions like:   How did you strike a balance...

  I got a little (a lot) spicy in this weeks podcast I’m unleashing a lot of pent up emotions I have about the fertility industry This week's podcast is called: 3 things that drive me crazy about the fertility industry.  If you don’t yet know this already — with the exception of a handful of fertility experts — I loathe 90% of fertility advice out there. It DID NOT work for me. In fact, it made me feel farther away from the goal and it made me feel like I couldn’t trust...

We all want to love ourselves. But have we ever thought to ask WHY?   The truth is that “self-love” isn’t just about you being a good girl who should be nice to herself.   There’s waaaayyyyyy more of an exciting benefit to self-love than that — which is why I recorded this weeks podcast on this particular topic that you’re NOT going to want to miss.    It’s important for you to know the fertility-enhancing benefits of self-love so that you can feel encouraged and motivated to make the...

Chances are, there’s a totally untrue hierarchy between you and your baby that’s swirling around in your head.     Here’s how the ego’s playing this mental story out: Your baby is HIGH up on the pedestal. Maybe even wearing a crown with jewels sipping on the most delicious nectar of milk. And you’re at the bottom, exhausted, trying to claw your way up with all the energy you have. You’re looking up hoping you can earn your worth to them by doing all the things (and doing them with precise...

I used to think my shame was a reaaaallllly good protector of judgment. I used to think, “If I just listened to the orders of my shame – stayed small, pretended everything was fine, kept it all inside – then I wouldn’t have to face judgment.” Meaning, if I silenced my true thoughts and feelings, then no one would know how broken I am.    But I was never broken, despite shame making me feel that way. And I never felt more loved then when I let go of my shame, opened my heart and let my...

Vulnerability share: I had a really hard few days last week. For the first time in what felt like forever, I had a lot bubble up inside of my body. At first, I resisted. I pouted. I complained. (Like any other human does at the feeling of deep feels.) But then… eventually…  I surrendered. It got me thinking…   My God… us human beings have this massive capability of feeling emotions inside of our bodies. To help guide us and process our life experiences. To literally help us become...

Time is at the core of so much suffering when you’re TTC. So it only makes sense for me to devote an entire free podcast to it, to alleviate the panic it’s causing you. My view point:    I’m probably the world’s most impatient person. When I want something, I want it now. I’m even annoyed at it needing to take a whole damn day for Amazon to send me my shit!    But… I’ve learned to both accept and shift this aspect of myself. My fertility journey taught me exactly how to develop a...

I watched the Super Bowl with my family a couple weekends ago and I noticed that the members of my family that were cheering for San Francisco (Not Taylor Swift’s BF’s team) had to go on and on about how much air time Taylor got and how she was annoyingly interacting with her friends. (HOW DARE SHE?!) Me, my mom and my husband were cheering for Kansas City. So we were loving watching her celebrate and enjoy herself. She was acting like a completely normal human being watching someone they...

Of course you have a HUGE, valid desire to get pregnant and have a beautiful, healthy baby. I would even guess that you had goals BEFORE your TTC journey and you will have goals AFTER it. (Believe it or not, this chapter of your life will not last forever. Phew!) Culturally, we talk a lot about desire. But we haven’t been taught to value our capacity to pursue our desires.  Capacity is your body’s ability to experience and metabolize sensation. Depending on the day, your capacity to check...

I think many women (myself included) have had this perfectionist fantasy that you’ll someday have this AHA moment and you’ll be like… “Omg. Yes! This is HOW I’m going to conceive my baby!” …But it doesn’t come. I certainly did not have this level of certainty as to HOW it was going to happen.  Neither do my clients. Yet, we’ve found a way to let go of the ”how drama.”  Because you are not meant to know exactly HOW your baby is going to come. The “how drama” is exactly what keeps you...

Are you super self-aware? Like, you’ve learned what you like about yourself and you’ve learned what you don’t like — but still feel so stuck and can’t seem to change? Rewind back a few years and this was so me. So self-aware yet so stuck.  This is a frustrating place to be on the fertility journey. Because I would see people who were so unaware, so unreflective, so inconsiderate… get pregnant easily. And it didn’t make sense why I was still struggling with all the awareness I had of myself,...

I’m over the moon to share with you my interview with my remarkable client Sumathi. She’s TTC, she’s a physician AND she’s deeply spiritual.  It’s the most refreshing conversation for any woman trying to conceive, because we deep dive into the topic of bridging the gap between the obsession over the physical body and the spiritual magic and mystery that exists on the journey to your baby that you just can’t deny.  Sometimes in our culture, it can feel delusional to explore that...

Remember the dating world? What would you do with someone you really liked, but then they called you 5 times the next day and you noticed that they liked the last 20 pictures you posted on instagram?    OR What would you do after walking into a store you adore but then became followed by a pushy sales person trying to convince you get something you didn’t even like?  Anyone and everyone would run in the other direction. Because when people are trying to find their sense of self-worth in...

It was about 4:30pm and I decided to go for a freezing cold walk to move the energy that gathered up inside me through the day.    In Edmonton, Alberta Canada where I live, it actually begins to get dark at this time of day. And it was a weekish before Christmas so the neighborhood decor was starting to light up. Kinda perfect.    On this very normal, very unsexy, very “so what, it’s just a walk” kinda exercise, it made me realize that some of life’s most simple to-do’s, are the most...

Sarah says, “I came into the program with this story. This heavy story of someone who’s failed. I completely closed my heart off to what’s possible so that I didn’t have to open my heart up to more loss.” – and omg I don’t know about you… but I could totally relate to that statement.    Before the program, Sarah thought she was feeling things. She thought she was present. She was meditating/journaling and doing the things. But she realized that so many perfectionism tendencies were diluting...

I interview my client Kristen on today’s Fertile Ground podcast and you just GOTTA listen to her story!    When Kristin joined Fertility Mind-Body Mastery, her brain was so loud that she couldn’t even hear herself think.   She was filled with anger. At herself. At her fertility journey. She was mad at the world for not having her baby easily and as fast as everyone else she knew.     She had so many thoughts about what she “should” do to get pregnant and had so many feelings that she...

Have you heard that Tony Robbins' quote: "Most people overestimate what they can do in a year, and underestimate what they can do in 2 or 3 decades."?   Here's my version, tailored for you, the strong and determined woman on the path to motherhood:   Most women TTC overestimate what they can do in 1 or 2 months, and underestimate what they can do in 1 year.    If you're a sensitive visionary who can almost taste the vision for your baby-filled life during meditations, you know the...

“I should be more disciplined.” “I shouldn’t be feeling sad.” “I should have more hope.” “I shouldn’t eat this piece of bread.”   When you’re TTC, the “shoulding" is endless.    …about what you should do to optimize conception.   But more deeply rooted, about how you should feel.    Although you think the shoulding part of your brain might be the voice that “keeps you on track”…   The only track we keepin’ on with this voice… is one of constant self-rejection.   Mama bear, your...

I’m interviewing my money coach and friend – Serena Hicks – on today’s Fertile Ground Podcast.    I love her. We met and vibed a year ago in Santa Monica when we attended a Life Coaching meet-up.   We hit it off because she talks about money, the same way that I talk about fertility. It’s all energy and learning how to partner with these energies to live our dream lives.    Fertility and money can become intertwined because the fertility journey can be, well…expensive.    So I asked...

I used to think I was “too controlling” — until I noticed my then 6 month old screaming until his face turned red, when gravity stole his ball away.   His little brain was thinking, “Nooooo…. I don’t want this to be happening! I want my ball back! Why don’t I have more controlll!”   It’s normal for us to want control. We were born wanting control.   It’s an important part of thenhuman design. It keeps us well and alive.    But it becomes a bit more nuanced as you enter adulthood and...

“Wholeness” is so arbitrary.   What does it even mean… to achieve this state? To feel “whole” and complete and worthy of your baby?     A great example is this…    So many women try to be the “good girl” to get pregnant. To do/be/act perfect and then you’ll get pregnant.    …Talk about arbitrary…perfection is impossible.   But even so — even tho we know it’s impossible — we still aim for it. Which is kinda f****d up.   But (and listen to this one please) the f****d up parts of us,...

I’m releasing a podcast to let you in on my process of writing this magical, mystical, miraculous book on fertility.  As I previously shared, I went to Hawaii to get started on writing a book for you.  I wanna let you in on my process, because I think it’s important to share with you how I continue to apply everything I learned on my fertility journey, into real life. Just because you eventually have your baby, doesn’t mean your dreams stop. They go on. It’s scary. And you have to...
