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.

One of the biggest sources of stress on this fertility journey is the fear of running out of time. Time and the chances of success slipping away. Michelle began working with me after three failed IVFs. She was 39 and felt incredible pressure to dive straight into her fourth IVF before the big 4-0. Psychologically it’s like 40 is the end. Why is this? Yes, fertility degrades over time but it doesn’t drop like a brick on your 40th birthday.
The expectation that it’s just not going to happen after 40 creates so much pressure and stress, what do you think happens? It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Expectations are toxic. They create self-fulfilling prophecies. They stop us from experiencing the possibility and wonder of life.
In this episode we look how you can let go of this fear of running out of time.

The emotional rollercoaster of fertility is an amplifier of fearful and insecure beliefs that you've had running in the background of your life for some time. This is why I am so thankful for my fertility journey. Not the 10 years of pain and heartache, but what I learned about myself at the lowest point when I did my own 'Project You' journey.
This resulted in me being far happier in myself, I stopped people-pleasing and knew I was OK for who I was - even before we got pregnant with our son.
What if this were true for you? What if this journey was amplifying existing limiting thoughts and beliefs that were preventing you from feeling complete, content and know the true worth of who you are in this moment?
What is your fertility telling you that might not only the gift for you in this journey but also the very thing that unlocks your ability to get pregnant.

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
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.

The fertility journey can rob you of your femininity as a woman (and masculinity as a man but this episode is for the women).
My wish for you to know you are the powerful, beautiful, sassy, creative, sexy, nurturing feminine energy you are.
Society doesn't value feminine energy. Men often don't understand it and are often scared of it. This can leave women feeling disempowered, misunderstood and feeling wrong for feeling how they feel.
It's time women were empowered to be fully feminine. Yes at times they will want/need to be in their masculine, but it's time we valued and appreciated feminine energy, we need more of it in society to bring more balance.

This is not just for men experiencing infertility (whether their own or their partners) but also for women who may want to understand the fertility journey from a man’s perspective.
This is what I learned, what I wish I knew and what I am grateful for about our fertility journey and my experience of male infertility.
In this episode I share how I felt as a man with male infertility. My experience of supporting my wife when she had the fertility problems and the impact to our relationship. And what I wish I knew that would have made it all much easier.

The Fertile Mind helps you let go of psychological blocks to getting pregnant. My wife and I had a 10-year fertility journey and have seen infertility from pretty much every angle.
Looking back we can see how much our mind and emotions played a role in the journey and if knew then what we know now it would not have been a 10-year journey.
I believe too many couples go through fertility treatment unnecessarily and the success rate of fertility treatment is unnecessarily low because the mind and emotions are not treated. This is also the experience of my clients.
I went on to retrain as a Coach and Cognitive Hypnotherapist and now help women and couples on their fertility journey to fast-track their journey to success.
Join me each week as I help you off the emotional rollercoaster and guide your mind and body to your fertility success.
To your success!
Loving you

Usually one or the other person in a couple had the fertility ‘problem’ and often feels guilty as a result.
On our fertility journey I felt guilty that it was my fault my wife couldn’t be the mother she was born to be.
How do you stop thinking it’s your fault when it is clear it is your fertility problems preventing your partner being the parent they want to be?
