  • Fertility Support: Everything You Need to Know for Yourself and Others

    Fertility Support: Everything You Need to Know for Yourself and Others
    Jan 9 2026
    In this episode, I dive into one of the most important aspects of the fertility journey: support. Whether you're going through treatment yourself or you're a friend or family member wanting to help someone you love, this episode is packed with practical advice on how to navigate this emotionally challenging time. I share my honest perspective on standing up for yourself, setting boundaries, and learning to say "no" when something doesn't feel right, including skipping baby showers if that's what you need to protect your heart.

    Throughout the episode, I explore the themes of communication, boundaries, and empathy. I discuss how to break the ice with loved ones about what kind of support you actually need, how to create a safety bubble around your journey, and why it's crucial to celebrate every small win along the way. For those supporting someone through fertility treatment, I offer guidance on asking the right questions, being present without fixing, and understanding that sometimes the best gift you can give is simply space and unconditional love.

    In this episode, we cover:
    • The power of saying "no" to protect your emotional well-being during fertility treatment
    • How to communicate clearly with friends and family about the kind of support you need
    • Building your fertility support team, including therapists, acupuncturists, and mindfulness practices
    • What friends and family should (and shouldn't) say to someone going through fertility treatment
    • Why it's okay to decline baby showers and pregnancy-related events without guilt
    • The importance of celebrating every win, no matter how small, throughout your journey
    • Five simple questions anyone can ask to show genuine support: "What can I do for you? What do you need? How can I help? Can I bring you anything? Can I come with you?

    Ten Steps to Adopt a "Float Through Life" Mindset for Fertility Patients
    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
