After 8 years of trying, countless tears, and the weight of endometriosis and infertility, I finally conceived naturally at age 36. But here’s the surprising part: it wasn’t about adding more protocols or doing more. It was about what I stopped doing.

In this episode, I’m sharing the 6 powerful shifts I made. Simple, yet life-changing decisions that freed me from stress, pressure, and fear, and opened the door to possibility.

If you’ve ever felt broken, stuck, or exhausted by your fertility journey, this episode will give you a new perspective and maybe even the dose of hope you’ve been craving.

If you’ve ever felt trapped in a cycle of pain, pills, and endless doctor visits, this episode is for you.

My guest today, Laura Haraka, spent four years chasing answers for her chronic pelvic pain, seeing over 25 doctors, getting 10 different diagnoses, trying medications, and even having surgery, with no relief.

Then came the turning point: discovering somatic experiencing, breathwork, and the mind-body connection that completely transformed her life. Laura is now pain-free, without meds, without procedures, and she’s teaching others how to do the same.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Laura’s journey from hopelessness to healing
• The 3 aha moments that changed everything
• What somatic experiencing really is (and how it helps)
• How breathwork can calm your nervous system and reduce pain
• Free resources you can try today to start your own healing journey

🎧 Listen until the end — Laura shares free meditations and breathwork practices you can use right away.

⚠️ Gentle Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of infertility, IVF, miscarriage, and pregnancy. Please take care of your heart and listen only if it feels supportive for you today. 💛

After eight long years of navigating infertility, two rounds of IVF, a miscarriage, and countless moments of heartbreak, I have a very special surprise to share with you. 🌈

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of my entire fertility journey: the rock bottom moments, the turning points, and the emotional + physical healing that changed everything.

You’ll hear how I went from despair to hope, from chronic pain to vibrant health, and ultimately to conceiving naturally, against all odds.

If you’re in the thick of your own fertility journey (or supporting someone who is), this story is for you. My deepest hope is that it reminds you that healing is possible and miracles do happen.

How to fuel your body, honor your cycle, and finally reclaim the energy to go after your big dreams.

Ever feel like no matter how much you sleep (or how much coffee you drink), you’re still running on empty? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why fatigue keeps holding ambitious women back, and what to do about it.

I’ll share:

• My own story of being a young entrepreneur who couldn’t keep up with everyone else
• Why hustle culture is built on a male blueprint (and what that means for women’s energy)
• The simple nutrition and nervous system strategies that actually work (hint: it’s not about more caffeine)
• How to reframe your cycle as a superpower instead of a setback
• Why your body isn’t your enemy. It’s your biggest ally in achieving your goals

If you’re tired of being tired, this episode will help you fuel smarter, align more deeply with yourself, and finally step into the energy you need to chase your big, bold dreams.

Loved this episode? Share it with a friend who’s also chasing big goals but struggling with having enough energy to keep it going.

• How blood sugar, cortisol, sleep, and stress intersect, and what your symptoms are trying to tell you
• Key labs to request and what “optimal” may look like
