The stigma. The pressure. The perfectionism.   And we\u2019re diving into the shocking research that reveals just how little emotional and mental health support women TTC are actually receiving \u2014 even though up to 40% meet the criteria for anxiety or depression, and less than 7% get help.   Let that sink in.   So many women are suffering in silence \u2014 doing everything \u201cright\u201d on paper, while quietly breaking inside.   In this episode, I share: \u2728 Why shame is sneakier than we think \u2014 and how it\u2019s the biggest barrier to change. \u2728 All the ways perfectionism makes you think you\u2019re being a \u201cresponsible good girl\u201d when really, you\u2019ve  just been taught you need to prove your worth. \u2728 The trap of believing \u201cease = not enough effort = highly unlikely to create new outcomes\u201d \u2728 How \u201cwaiting to feel better once you\u2019re pregnant\u201d is secretly delaying what your body needs now   This one\u2019s juicy, honest, and full of truth bombs you didn\u2019t know you needed.   Listen now!   Because support is not a f*cking  luxury. It\u2019s part of the medicine.  And you don\u2019t have to suffer your way to your baby.   Not anymore.
