This podcast is the last episode in this current series of conversations with some really lovely guests. I’ve enjoyed recording these for you, and I’ve gained and learned a lot myself from each and every one.  Today’s is particularly special as Nicola is someone I have known for a very long time. We first met over 30 years ago when we were in the same class at school. Then we were at college together on the same course. And then years later we got back in touch through the magic of social...

In this episode I’m sharing a conversation with Jen Edmonds. I first got to know Jen when she was on her own fertility journey. She was a Fertile Mindset client and used EFT / Tapping with me to support her through her emotional challenges. Jen said that EFT blew her mind with how effective it was, which was also her experience of discovering Fertility Yoga. Since then, and since Jen has happily had her two children, she now supports others on a fertility journey with her unique approach to...

This episode with Kristin, who is a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and neural retraining specialist, was fascinating and we did a deep dive into the impact of stress on health and wellness, including fertility health. Kristin focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness and infertility and supports the body’s natural ability to achieve healing and balance when provided the right conditions. With advanced training in functional lab testing and interpretation,...

On this first podcast of 2023 I’m speaking with EFT Master and co-founder of the EFT Centre in London, Emma Roberts. Almost 20 years ago when I was a newly qualified EFT practitioner, Emma’s own specialism in fertility support was a key part of my education and exploration into this topic. In fact, attending a training session on Fertility EFT led by Emma was a pivotal moment for me in specialising in fertility for the last two decades. It was wonderful to talk more with Emma about what a...

This episode features the lovely Emily Ginn who I got to know a couple of years ago when the Clubhouse live chat app was launched. In the fertility support chat rooms, I heard Emily speaking with a depth of true understanding about the mindset side of fertility. Then as Emily and I were on such a similar wavelength, we shared many chat rooms on Clubhouse. More recently I was a guest on her brilliant podcast IVF This. And now here we are, continuing our chat on my podcast now about all things...

On the podcast today, I’m talking with Kate Codrington about her new book Second Spring and her passion for supporting women before, during and after menopause. You may wonder what place menopause has on a fertility podcast. But with more women trying for babies when they are peri or post-menopausal, often with donor treatment, I believe it’s important to have these conversations. Kate has always been a passionate supporter and advocate for women, and her new book, Second Spring, has a...

I’ve spoken with Maria before on her podcast and we had such a great conversation that it planted the seeds in my imagination for this podcast to be created. Now on our 74th episode, I’m welcoming Dr Maria Rothenburger who is a fertility counsellor, coach, best-selling author and intuitive. In this episode, you’ll hear about her own path to parenthood and the journey this took her on both in her own life and in the way she supports others in her work. I really loved the perspective Maria...

Welcome back to the Fertile Mindset Podcast! It was back in May that I last released an episode, and now I’m excited to share a brand new series featuring chats with some really wonderful guests. They come from a variety of backgrounds and each has their own approach to support. They brought fascinating discussions to the table as we talk about the role of MINDSET on a fertility journey.

This is the last episode of the Fertile Mindset Podcast for a short time, while we take a break to plan and record more episodes for you.

Have you collected any lucky charms or done anything to “bring you luck” in conceiving your baby? Don’t be shy, because in this episode I reveal all the things I did when I was TTC! The bizarre, the funny, and the beautiful ones, and why I believe this connection to ‘luck’ did ultimately help me have my baby.

Yay! The podcast is back after a week off! This was partly because I was on an Easter break and partly because I was working on bringing you some exciting new fertility support. And now it’s ready and this special episode is all about a new FREE fertility support group. The Fertile Mindset Café is open and there’s a place at the table for you!

A busy, overwhelmed mind can feel like an inevitable part of having fertility issues. There is always so much to think about, research, and do! So, in this episode, we’re talking about finding a way of navigating your fertility journey that feels calmer and more comfortable, and which leads you to making good, informed decisions along the way.

This is another mini-episode this week, but don’t be put off by its size; it’s small but mighty!! By taking just 5 minutes to listen and then following the three steps given, you will be connecting to your intuition in a powerful way. Intuition is one of my favourite topics and I love to guide people to connect with theirs on their fertility journey and see what emerges for them. I hope you enjoy listening, and I’d love to hear how you get with this episode and the three steps. Do send me a...

In another mini podcast this week I talk about the next step after recognising and acknowledging that emotional support is needed which is for asking for that support when we’re facing fertility issues. This can be the step to take and can leave us feeling stuck, struggling, and lonely. I don’t want that for you, and by listening and journaling after this episode I hope you’re soon connecting with and receiving all the support you need!

There’s a lot going on at Fertile Mindset HQ right now to bring you even more effective fertility support than ever before. So while me and my team are working hard behind the scenes, the next few podcast episodes will be bite-sized and around 5 minutes long. They will be powerful episodes though and each includes a journal prompt for you to continue to reflect on and work with the topic. This episode is about whether you feel worthy of emotional support on your fertility journey and...

Today on the podcast I’m speaking with Michelle Oravitz who is an acupuncturist, ayurvedic practitioner, and certified hypnotherapist specialising in fertility health. She uses herbs, acupuncture, also diet, supplements, essential oils, and most importantly the mind and how it influences conception. Michelle is also the host of The Wholesome Fertility podcast which I’m excited to be joining her on in a few weeks! I hope you enjoy listening to Michelle as much as I enjoyed talking with her.

It’s my birthday today, and as I turn 45 it feels like a good time to talk about age and how it can impact thoughts, feelings, and beliefs around fertility. Age is a big thing when you’re trying for a baby, isn’t it? You may have always had in mind the ‘ideal age’ to have a baby. If you’re now trying for a baby at a later time, you can feel the pressure of time. Adding in the statistics that are often quoted by fertility clinics and the media around age, and we are surrounded by so much...

Secondary infertility is one of the less talked about fertility issues, but definitely needs acknowledgment, conversations around it, and support too. Secondary infertility is when you find it difficult to get pregnant or stay pregnant when you try for a second or subsequent baby. For some, this is a continuation of the fertility issues they had when they first tried for a baby, and may mean going through the same steps and the same treatment as they did the first time. It can also strike for...

This week I am celebrating 21 years in business. 14th February 2001 was when I saw my very first client which was for reflexology. EFT soon followed and then my work evolved into Fertile Mindset, fully focused on emotional support and healing on a fertility journey. It’s been an amazing 21 years, and such a privilege to connect with and support thousands of people from all over the world. They have taught me so much, which means I’m always learning and growing, and I’m sure the next 21 years...

This episode is on something useful and practical, to make it easy to bring emotional support into your fertility plan. For emotional support to make a real positive difference to you and your experience of your fertility journey, it needs to always be present and to be consistent. And it also needs to be realistic and easy to step into. On the podcast today I take you through three steps, with 3 questions and the answers will give you your own emotional support plan.

In this episode, you can listen to a chat I had with Vanessa Gillis-Phelps who is the founder of Queer Fertility where she coaches individuals and couples with tailored support to meet the unique challenges faced by the LGBTQ community. She’s a mother herself alongside her wife, having conceived two amazing donor-conceived kids. In this conversation, we also explore Vanessa’s other passion of spirit baby communication.

In this episode, I’m sharing a chat I had with Nicola Salmon from Fat Positive Fertility. Nicola is doing amazing and much-needed work supporting people as they navigate getting pregnant and seeking fertility treatment in a weight-obsessed world. She’s the author of the popular book “Fat and Fertile”, and she uses her unique fat positive framework to support people in finding their own version of health without diets, to advocate for their bodies, relearn how to trust their body and believe...

In this episode, I’m speaking with Fran Migliorati who is a fertility and mindset coach based in London, UK. Having been through her own fertility journey and survived ectopic pregnancy to become an IVF twin mum, Fran uses everything she learnt and experienced to support others on a fertility journey. In this chat we hear Fran’s own fertility story and how this led to her making big changes in her career and life, and what she’d love you to know about mindfulness!
