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.

Letting go of the fear of disappointment

Many people on this fertility journey are fearful about being positive or hopeful because they don’t want to feel the disappointment if it doesn’t work. This fear stop you relaxing into the journey and keeps fear locked in your body, not good for fertility. In this episode we look at how to let go of the fear of disappointment and allow yourself, and your body, to relax into the journey to getting pregnant.

A story that makes me cry 😢 (in a good way!)

This week I share one of my favourite stories which is a metaphor for life that helped me stop living in fear and KMOW I am OK whatever happens. When I first heard it I had it spoke to my heart in such a way I still remember the exact details of when I heard it many years later. In this episode I want to share the story with you and why it spoke to me so much with the hope of it touching you in a similar way.

Bonus episode: My experience as a man

I share my experience of the fertility journey as a man for two purposes. One is I hope men will listen and realise they are not alone. The second is I hope it helps women understand their partners more, because sometimes men are not good at sharing what's happening on the inside! 

I hope it encourages and equips men on their journey whether experiencing infertility themselves or experiencing it as a couple regardless of where the challenges lie.
