The 2nd episode in our HELD IN HER STORIES series is for the woman who\u2019s smart (Like, scientist smart), resourced, doing all the things\u2026 and still feeling anxious underneath it all. Today I\u2019m talking to a member of FMBM with a PhD who came into fertility like it was a science experiment \u2014 5 rounds of IVF, deep in the research, treating her body like a problem to solve. And then she walked through IVF and miscarriage\u2026 and had to learn how to trust her body again after loss. This convo is raw and so, so validating. We get into:   That belief: \u201cIf I don\u2019t control every detail, it won\u2019t work\u201d \u2014 and how it actually creates more contraction in the body   Anxiety and OCD on the fertility journey (we actually name it) and what it looks like to stop resisting the resistance.   Moving from \u201cI can think my way out of this\u201d to \u201cmy body is telling me in real time what it needs\u201d   Rebuilding trust after loss   And the sweetest part: creating relationship with baby before they arrive (her French blue nursery curtains are iconic)   She said: \u201cI realized how much I withheld love for myself. Once I let myself have it, I became a better wife, daughter, and future mom.\u201d And I have to say it plainly: what she learned inside Fertility Mind-Body Mastery was how to love herself before becoming a mother \u2014 so she didn\u2019t need a positive pregnancy test to give her permission to do it. The amazing news? Self-love isn\u2019t just a cute concept \u2014 it\u2019s biology. Because when you start loving yourself, your body finally feels safe. Your nervous system settles. Your hormones find balance. Your heart opens up to receive life again. LISTEN NOW!
