    Jan 5 2026
    Would you like to learn how to get pregnant, The Egg Whisperer Way? What you learn from this show has the potential to change your life forever.

    Ask yourself:
    1. What do I want?
    Be specific. example: I'm 32 years old and I want to have a baby. I want to do it naturally.

    2. What is it going to take to get what I want?
    example: It's going to take knowing my fertility diagnosis first (enter the TUSHY Method), having a healthy lifestyle, taking prenatal vitamins, getting preconception tests done, and having sex.

    3. Am I willing to do what it takes to get what I want?
    If you're not willing to do the things to get what you want, then you have to change #1. If at 37 someone says they want three kids and then I ask them what it's going to take to get what they want. Some people know what it will take. Others may not.

    Dec 30 2025
    Read the full notes and transcript at Dr. Aimee's website.
    After 20 years of practicing medicine, I've learned that not everything is sunshine and rainbows. To help myself and my fertility patients, I've adopted a "float through life" mindset—emphasizing mindfulness, calmness, adaptability, and acceptance. Whether you're going through IVF or simply exploring your fertility options, cultivating a positive mindset can help you feel more grounded and supported in the process.

    In this episode, I share how mindfulness and a flexible mindset can be powerful tools for fertility patients. Instead of being consumed by stress or uncertainty, you'll learn how to approach IVF and your fertility journey with more ease, presence, and hope. This shift toward a positive mindset doesn't mean ignoring challenges—it means embracing tools that allow you to move through them with greater strength and grace.

    In this episode, we cover:
    • How to embrace situations as they come without spiraling when plans change
    • The power of mindfulness and accepting impermanence in difficult times
    • Ways to stay flexible, cultivate gratitude, and detach from rigid outcomes
    • Why humor, lightheartedness, and community support matter in tough moments
    • Practical steps for prioritizing self-care, limiting overthinking, and trusting the journey
