In today’s episode of the Badass Fertility Podcast we sit down with Laura Watson, fertility coach and mother of two egg donor conceived children. Laura endured multiple unsuccessful rounds of IVF, egg retrievals with no genetically normal eggs and several heartbreaking pregnancy losses. When she entered the world of donor eggs at 40, she felt “relieved”

Despite her clarity on the choice that felt right for her and her family, Laura had to unpack a lot of emotions that often come with the territory of donor conceived children.

In this episode we talk about

• The difference between privacy and secrets.
• Feelings of “worthiness” around how our children come into the world.
• That our children inherit so much more from us than our DNA.
• Often our best qualities are passed through the environment, not the gene pool.
• How to recognize a moment of clarity and the importance of trusting it.

On today’s show we sit down with Kathleen Magnus. Kathleen has an incredible fertility journey that involves being pregnant 11 times in 8 years, including one stillbirth. Today she has two healthy kids (with another on the way).

Kathleen has studied under a line of energetic fertility experts and now uses what she learned to serve other women on the path to their babies.

When she found Nancy Mae, author of the Energetic Fertility Method and protégé of the renowned author of the book Spirit Babies, Walter Mikichen, Kathleen was at her lowest point.

She was consumed with questions like: Why me? Am I being punished? And she was genuinely depressed. As a former corporate world-woman, she’d never done anything like a spirit baby reading before, but what she learned completely changed her life.

Today Kathleen works with Nancy Mae offering energy healing services and spirit baby readings to women seeking to become moms.

Join us as we talk about:

• Reiki
• Energy blocks
• How to connect with your sprit baby
• Quantum physics
• The importance of stretching your comfort zone
• How the seemingly worst things in life can become our greatest opportunities for growth and healing.

On today’s episode of the Badass Fertility Podcast we sit down with Dr Susan Fox. As a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine and 5 Element Acupuncture for the last 23 years, Dr. Fox specializes in women’s health and fertility.

We dive deep into the mind body connection exploring how everything from our personalities to our periods can be explained, understood and optimized using this 5,000+ year old system

Dr. Susan shares her decades of experience in this field. Among the top insights we cover are:

• Demand your right to grieve. Grief is the flip side of love. When something you love is missing or threatened grief is natural. Honor your grief.
• Why infertility is an overused and inaccurate term.
• Why clinical sub-fertility is a more accurate and helpful term to describe most women's struggle to get or stay pregnant
• The Western medical model is great for many things, but it divides the human body into inaccurately discreet parts without accounting for the whole.
• Traditional Chinese Medicine looks at body-mind and spirit to paint a richer picture of the patient and diagnose treatment on all levels.

On today’s episode of the Badass Fertility Podcast we sit down with functional fertility expert and nutritionist, Olivia Mitchell. Olivia brings a wealth of wisdom and critical insights on how to get and stay pregnant even if you've been given an infertility diagnosis.

In fact, she challenges that term arguing it’s medically inaccurate and prefers the term “sub-fertility” because it indicates the truth: your fertility can be improved.

Olivia looks at fertility from a “whole body system” perspective. She teaches her clients how to get into what she calls “welcome baby mode” Olivia does this by looking for the roots causes of sub-fertility of which she says there are three main ones:

• overlooked thyroid issues (even if you’ve had the panel tested),
• nervous system dysregulation,
• gut inflammation.

From there, we dive deep into topics like:

1. Why does the standard approach to fertility fail to help every couple?
2. What's the most powerful thing a TTC couple can do to support fertility?
3. Is TTC for a year before asking for support still good advice?
4. What's the deal with all the supplements out there for fertility?
5. What testing should someone get when starting to search for better answers?

If you’ve been trying all. the. things to get pregnant: done the standard testing, tried the standard approach (clomid, IUI, IVF, etc) and you’re still not pregnant or suffering miscarriages, this show will provide enlightening info, in a non-scary way, for you.

Struggling to conceive is one of the most lonely and isolating experiences women endure.

All of the women I've met on this journey struggle to share about it with most or even all of the close people in their life. In fact, around half of the women I’ve met on this don’t tell their mothers or their mothers-in-law what’s going on. There’s no right or wrong or good or bad there, but the consequence of keeping it to yourself can be high.

But how do you know who to keep in and who to keep out? How can you tell if someone will be trustworthy and not make you feel worse? Harvard researcher and infertility expert Alice Domar has a system called the ECAD that can help. On today’s show we dive into it and look at how it can benefit your journey for the better.
