Episode 127: What if triggers are a GOOD thing?
Triggers = When something externally or internally triggers uncomfortable emotions and/or physical sensations in the body.
In today’s episode I talk about how we have become used to thinking of triggers as a bad thing but actually triggers can be very useful insights to the emotional and energetic clearing work that we need to do.
When we do this we not only enhance our fertility but feel better and more resilient in the moment as we pursue our dream of becoming a parent.
I share how one of The Embrace Fertility Method members chose to organise and host a baby shower for one of her best friends and what happened afterwards.
I’m running a free masterclass this evening ‘How to use visualisation to enhance fertility, enjoy pregnancy and have a confident birth’ sign up at www.embracefertility.co.uk/free-class.

Episode 125: Today one of my clients Rachel shared a video of her nine-month-old who is now crawling. Nine months ago he was still in her belly about to be born. Nine months before that she didn’t know that she was pregnant.
She desperately hoped that she was pregnant following second IVF transfer but she was in the two week wait I was yet to find out.
In today’s episode I talk about how I was thinking around time IVF and pregnancy can get us locked in negative thought patterns that do not serve us and it actually creates stress and tension in our bodies.
I share how you can start to turn around today and reprogram your reticular activating system.

Episode 124: Another fertility expert interview to celebrate the launch of a fabulous new book 'The Way of Fertility.'
Insightful, inspiring and full of hope alongside beautiful true life stories from Michelle's clients.
In this week's episode we discuss:
- How emotions impact the body from the lens of Chinese medicine
- The role of intuition when it comes to reproductive health
- Heart-uterus connection and how modern research findings reflect it
- The power of being in a state of flow and how it relates to our vitality
- The impact that the mind has over our body
An excerpt from my favourite part of the book:
“Vibrations play a crucial role in our daily lives; vibration is what inherently connects us to the world around us.
We ourselves emit vibrations, and we are constantly responding to vibrations of all kinds, including the sound waves we hear, the energy that surrounds us, and the frequency at which our emotions resonate.
By understanding the profound impact that these vibrations have on us, we can harness their harmonious potential to improve our overall well-being.
When we are in a state of balance and harmony, our vibrations are aligned, and we radiate coherent energy. Conversely, when our vibrations are disrupted or out of sync, we may experience feelings of unease or discomfort."
This book shares the energetics of fertility through the lens of ancient wisdom and I love it.
Michelle Oravitz, L.Ac, FABORM is an acupuncturist, specializing in Fertility Health. She found her love in Chinese medicine after it helped her through her own menstrual cycle challenges and this inspired her to change her career from architecture to acupuncture. Michelle is the host of a top rated podcast called ‘The Wholesome Fertility Podcast’ .
She has been endorsed by best-selling authors such as Aimee Raupp, Jessica Ortner, and Dr. Lisa Miller. Michelle has been on a mission to help women get pregnant (naturally and IVF preparation) through her one on one work at her acupuncture clinic as well as online.
She recently authored a new book, The Way of Fertility, which dives deep into the energetics of fertility through the lens of ancient wisdom. Michelle believes that our bodies are hardwired to procreate and by connecting to our inherent wisdom, we can awaken our natural reproductive vitality.

Episode 120: While waiting for your baby, does it feel like you're just spinning your wheels? Sometimes you are so overwhelmed and so scared that you can't even think straight, and so you're trying to make decisions and you're researching.
You're on Dr Google, you're on Instagram and everyone's shouting at you and everyone's saying you need to do this to get pregnant, or you need to look at this, or this is the new wonder supplemental. Have you tried this?
And you're like oh my word, like there's just so much out there. And then, on top of that, you're trying to stay positive, trying to stay in the vibe and it feels like this is impossible.
And so you end up planning out and thinking about not just what you're doing now, this cycle, but what your plan B is. And actually, let's just get real, it's not plan B, is it? By this point, those of you that are listening to the Embrace Fertility podcast it's probably like plan J. Plan J all the other plans, a onwards, have not worked.
We're now on plan J and then you're thinking about the plan after that and the plan after that and the plan after that, because that's what we're used to doing.

Episode 119: “My fertility specialist wants me to do IVF next cycle but I don’t feel ready.” I hear this a lot as a fertility therapist and coach. We can feel so anxious and overwhelmed when a fertility specialist or even our partner is pushing us to take the next step forward with treatment but we don’t feel ready. In this episode I share three different mind-body techniques to allow you to make a decision from a place of confidence rather than fear. I discuss how to decide when you should start or continue fertility treatment.

Episode 118: In this podcast episode I discuss the relationships between anxiety, depression, infertility and miscarriages. The studies, which I have included below, paint a very bleak picture. But there is much you can do to support your mental health and well-being while long-term trying to conceive.
Two and a half million cycles of IVF are performed globally each year, yet fewer than a quarter of these are successful.
Women undergoing infertility treatment experience the same level of stress, anxiety, and depression as women who have cancer, HIV, or heart disease.
Research shows post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can develop in a third of women after miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy.
Anxiety and depression rates are higher in women diagnosed with Endometriosis and PCOS.
Women suffering from depression, stress and anxiety are twice as likely to have problems conceiving, and women who have experienced at least one unsuccessful IVF cycle and had depressive symptoms before continuing IVF treatment experienced a lower success rate than women who did not experience depressive symptoms.
Couples are more likely to stop trying to conceive, not commence or abandon treatment, due to emotional stress rather than financial constraints or a medical prognosis?
Once you know the above it’s impossible to ignore the fact that if you are going through infertility, treatment or pregnancy loss
YOU NEED TO PROTECT YOUR MENTAL HEALTH
There are so many studies showing that alleviating the symptoms of stress and anxiety improves quality of life and makes it easier for women to become pregnant.
Join us for a FREE exclusive class next Sunday at 8.30pm GMT that will unveil the secrets to understanding the part your mental health plays in your fertility and maximise your chances of conceiving this year.
The Science
Understand the science behind the mind-body link and how it impacts both your mental and physical health and therefore your fertility.
The Studies
Utilise the research and studies that show that prioritising your mental health while trying to conceive greatly improves quality of life and can double your chances of success.
The Tools
I’ll be sharing HOW to start practising techniques from Sunday to support yourself.

Episode 117: Podcast interview with Kevin the founder of The Man Cave a male infertility/mental health advocate. Today we are discussing male infertility and the importance of finding the right coping strategies and support.
Kevin set up The Man Cave to share his story, to reach out to other men going through a similar journey and to help raise awareness of male infertility and mental health.
In this episode:
- Kevin shares his own personal journey of being told he was infertile 10 years ago
- Micro-TESE, Sertoli cell-only Syndrome, donor sperm, IVF and ICSI
- How Kevin helps men who suffer in silence by spreading awareness.
Anxiety and depression
"I’ve been angry, upset, lost and hurting for too long: it’s time to stand up and be counted. That’s when I decided to set up a page on Instagram called ‘The Mancave’ @them_ancave
I want to help break the stigma around male infertility. Why should we suffer in silence?!
I believe anxiety and depression go hand in hand with fertility issues, and I honestly believe men have taken their own lives due to the fact they have had very little or no help or support after being told they are infertile.
Because of this, I plan to make a difference and I want you guys to come along on this journey with me. Let’s do this together; for us, for those that have suffered in silence before us and for the men of the future, who hopefully won’t have to suffer alone." Kevin from https://them-ancave.co.uk/about/
Connect with Kevin
@them_ancave on instagram and Twitter
So on the last Friday of every month @them_ancave on Instagram Kevin will be going live at 6.30 pm for the show ”The Man Chat” with different guest speaker every month!

Episode 116: Have a listen and see if this resonates.
The reasons in short:
1 - You wouldn’t benefit from being supported by someone as you already feel resilient, in control and have a strong plan in place for supporting both your physical fertility and mental health in 2024.
2. - You could put together your own mind-body fertility course from free content on YouTube. There are so many amazing coaches sharing high-quality information on YouTube today so it would be completely feasible for you to sit down and cherry pick videos that could create an outline. However the content is endless and knowing what to watch when in what order and then having the accountability of actually practising is what makes doing a course so empowering.
3. - You have a strong support network of friends and family who completely understand how you feel and know just what to say to make you feel better.
You are lucky enough to have friends who are going through this at the moment you are experiencing very similar struggles to yourself and not only that, they have decided to put their own well-being and mental health at the forefront of their priorities so are tuned in with the mind-body techniques that could help you most at this time.

Episode 114: Walking and talking about the power of working with a therapist during this time in your life and the things you should expect from the person supporting you.
I then describe AMDR the trauma release technique I use. Here is some feedback that inspired this episode:
"The AMDR sessions just keep blowing my mind every time I experience one. I have tried lots of different mind shift techniques before like Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) which is powerful but AMDR is like Superman defeating Lex Luthor in one go!!! I can not express enough how powerful this technique is. Every time I have something that pops up which takes me back to a past experience/memory and I'm overly emotional about it or have experienced an emotional situation in the present where I wouldn't normally be, I reach out to the amazing Naomi for an AMDR session so I can move through it quicker than I would normally using EFT. If anybody is on the fence about an AMDR just give it a go, you have nothing to loose and you definitely will not regret it!"- Crystal

Episode 109: You have probably heard of inflammation how does inflammation impact our fertility? In today’s fertility expert interview with Jaclyn Downs a Functional Nutrigenomics Consultant we will be discussing just that.
Root causes of inflammation
We discuss common, but lesser-known root causes of inflammation that affect fertility and egg health.
What functional genomics is and how it can provide clarity on root causes and which protocols would be most effective (and why other protocols may not have worked).
Epigenetics, mold/mycotoxins, histamine, poor fatty acid utilization, iron dysregulation, addressing stress, antioxidants and detoxification pathways.
