The fertile void is the space between our old story before we have stepped into and claimed our new story. In the fertile void, we can often feel stuck and frustrated. What often keeps us stuck is trying too hard out of fear of never creating the life we want deep inside. Find out why self-help tools and techniques typically don’t work, and let Russell guide you upstream to your innate well-being and confidence to get unstuck and claim your life of possibility and purpose. Whether it’s creating the family you crave or the success you know you deserve, Russell will help you see how misunderstandings about the nature of thoughts and feelings mean we get in our own way from being who we want to be and creating what we want. Russell will help you change your relationship with your thoughts, feelings and sense of identity to help you know you are OK whether you feel OK or not and live the life true to yourself and not your habitual insecure thoughts.

Tuesday Aug 30, 2022
Tuesday Aug 30, 2022
I am taking some time off in August so this is a show from the archive: This fertility journey so so tough, I wanted to give you a message from the other side.

About the Show:
I help women and couples remove psychological blocks to getting pregnant. Based on my and my wife’s 10 year fertility journey and the work of my clients I believe too many couples have IVF unnecessarily and that the success rate of IVF is unnecessarily low. We can see how much our mind and emotions played a part in our fertility journey and when we found a place of peace without giving up that’s when the magic happened - we conceived naturally against all odds. I help me clients do the same - remove psychological blocks to getting pregnant naturally or getting the successful IVF outcome they so want.
When I ask women what having a baby will give them they usually say a sense of completeness, love and purpose. It’s our fear of not having these things, a fear of not being enough, worthy that tends to be behind our fear of not having a baby. These limiting beliefs have usually been around since an early age and infertility shines a spotlight on them. Many of my clients have strived for success in their life whether career or other things. That approach doesn’t work for fertility. In fact it puts tension in the body which decreases their chances of success.
The podcast is short dose of insight, giving women and couples new perspectives that allows them to see their fertility from the ‘inside-out’. To see help them let go of their insecure thoughts and feelings and connect to their innate wellbeing that knows they are enough and OK whatever happens. This moves having a baby from being a ’need’ to to a desire. It takes the pressure of the process and their mind and body relax into it’s natural flow state. Stress can impact the delicate balance of hormones required for a successful pregnancy.

TTC After miscarriage
Tuesday Aug 23, 2022
Tuesday Aug 23, 2022
I am taking some time off in August so this is a show from the archive: Like many aspects of the fertility journey, I think the depth of emotional distress often experienced with miscarriage is not really acknowledged by people who've not experienced it. There is grief. Grieving the loss of the baby you were so emotionally connected to from day one. There can be guilt and blame. Perhaps blaming yourself for not doing the right thing thinking that has impacted your fertility or ability to hold down a healthy pregnancy. Then there is the fear of it happening again. This is often the most significant. You move past the grief but the fear lingers on and doesn't seem to pass. In this episode we explore how you can let go of that fear and other emotions to continue your fertility journey with more peace and hope.

Surviving the Two Week Wait

Tuesday Aug 09, 2022
I am taking some time off in August so this is a show from the archive: Whether you are having IVF/ICSI/donor treatment or trying naturally, the dreaded 2WW is always the hardest part of the process. Any insecurity in our mind hates the unknown. Another part of our mind doesn’t like the idea of us being disappointed, let alone devastated, so doesn’t want you to get your hopes up. These fears lead to your mind coming up with all the ‘evidence’ as to why you won't be successful or why you shouldn’t get your hopes up. The truth is, it’s unknown. Nothing can predict the outcome, not even your thinking, no matter how plausible it may be. In this episode a share a three-step approach to help you survive and even thrive in the 2WW

Do you need a baby or want a baby?
Tuesday Aug 02, 2022
Tuesday Aug 02, 2022
I am taking some time off in August so this is a show from the archive: If we think we need something to be happy, content, fulfilled it the fear of not getting it keeps us on the emotional rollercoaster. There is nothing wrong with wanting to have a baby, but if part of you thinks you need to feel complete or fulfilled then the fear of it not happening can prevent it from happening. We cannot create anything from a place of fear. Find out the difference between needs and wants and how a misunderstanding how our mind words prevents us from knowing we will be OK whatever happens and feeling complete ahead of having a baby. The moment having a baby shifted from been a need to a desire for us that’s when the magic happened.

Are my feelings bad or wrong?
Tuesday Jul 26, 2022
Tuesday Jul 26, 2022
The fertility rollercoaster is an emotional rollercoaster. So often when we express our feelings our partner (or other people) react negatively. Perhaps they judge our feelings as unnecessary or wrong or perhaps it triggers them to have an emotional response such as getting angry. Are you bad or wrong for having these feelings or expressing them?

Let’s talk about Feelings

Tuesday Jul 12, 2022
The emotional rollercoaster of fertility challenges can mean it’s a very emotional journey. We worry about feeling anxious or negative and think we need to feel positive. In this episode we take a step back and look at what a feeling really is. In my experience it’s looking further upstream from the content our feelings that we find what we are looking for.
