    Episode 134 - The spirit of your baby chooses YOU!

    Chances are, there’s a totally untrue hierarchy between you and your baby that’s swirling around in your head.  
     
    Here’s how the ego’s playing this mental story out: Your baby is HIGH up on the pedestal. Maybe even wearing a crown with jewels sipping on the most delicious nectar of milk. And you’re at the bottom, exhausted, trying to claw your way up with all the energy you have. You’re looking up hoping you can earn your worth to them by doing all the things (and doing them with precise perfection) to prove how bad you want it. 
     
    And this my love… is totally unnecessary. 
     
    Why? Because you are already insanely loved by the spirit of your baby.
     
    They ALREADY chose you – out of 4 billion other women in the world. They want the authentic version of you to be their mother… not the perfect one. And… they want you to see this for yourself.
     
    Listen to this weeks podcast to explore this topic further: The spirit of your baby chooses YOU. It will paint the picture of what’s REALLY happening behind the scenes, so you can let go of earning something you already fucking have.

    Episode 133 - How real life women TTC let go of their built up fertility shame

    Episode 133 - How real life women TTC let go of their built up fertility shame

    I used to think my shame was a reaaaallllly good protector of judgment. I used to think, “If I just listened to the orders of my shame – stayed small, pretended everything was fine, kept it all inside – then I wouldn’t have to face judgment.”
    Meaning, if I silenced my true thoughts and feelings, then no one would know how broken I am. 
     
    But I was never broken, despite shame making me feel that way. And I never felt more loved then when I let go of my shame, opened my heart and let my authentic feelings be seen and heard. There is nothing more healing than this to the mind and body liberated from the chains of shame.
     
    It helps to see how this plays out IRL, so I’m sharing an interview with 2 of my former Fertility Mind-Body Mastery members Marcie and Emily. I interviewed them in a retreat last year on how they shed their shame – and the outer results that came from the inner transformation. It’s kinda mind-blowing what happened!
     
    On this weeks podcast: How real life women TTC let go of their built up fertility shame -- you’ll learn: 
    Why shedding your shame creates a deeper connection in your marriage.
    How it can inspire life-changing change, like a career switch to your dream job.
    How Fertility Mind-Body Mastery makes it easier for you to safely let go of your shame and feel worthy of exactly who you are, in all of your imperfections…
    Why human support is needed for our survival.
    What it’s like to be inside of my program Fertility Mind-Body Mastery. What happens? How does it feel? What’s it like to be in a group container like this? How much time do you get to be coached?

    All these answers are inside the podcast. Listen now!

    Episode 131 - Your pain wants to heal you. Here’s how to let it.

    Episode 131 - Your pain wants to heal you. Here’s how to let it.

    Vulnerability share: I had a really hard few days last week. For the first time in what felt like forever, I had a lot bubble up inside of my body. At first, I resisted. I pouted. I complained. (Like any other human does at the feeling of deep feels.) But then… eventually…  I surrendered.
    It got me thinking…
     
    My God… us human beings have this massive capability of feeling emotions inside of our bodies. To help guide us and process our life experiences. To literally help us become healthier. Admittedly, it’s very hard to feel it. It’s uncomfortable to be present with your sadness, your grief, your anger. It takes self-worth to create enough space in your life, to process, cry and witness what wants to come up. 
     
    On top of this really hard part of being a human, we are taught to believe that these aspects of ourselves are wrong. Bad. Maybe we even believe they rise up because we aren’t “good enough” at managing things. And it’s so not true. 
     
    I realized in my experience that pain is so healthy. Pain is so natural. Pain is healing in motion. It helped me to discover so much about myself, about my life, about what my body needed, about what I can change for the better. Although it did not feel like it at the time, it was a total gift from God.
     
    We all feel these intense emotions. They are nothing to be ashamed of. It’s the price of being a human being. 
     
    So why not just feel them? 
     
    I released a new podcast today: Your pain wants to heal you. Here’s how to let it.
     
    It’s to show you how to create enough safety within your mind and body to say yes, the next time your body is ready to feel the more difficult emotions.  
     
    You’re not alone in having them. There’s nothing wrong with you for having them. You are safe to feel them. Listen now.

    Episode 130 - How to handle setbacks and frustrations around time while TTC

    Episode 130 - How to handle setbacks and frustrations around time while TTC

    Time is at the core of so much suffering when you’re TTC. So it only makes sense for me to devote an entire free podcast to it, to alleviate the panic it’s causing you.

    My view point: 
     
    I’m probably the world’s most impatient person. When I want something, I want it now. I’m even annoyed at it needing to take a whole damn day for Amazon to send me my shit! 
     
    But… I’ve learned to both accept and shift this aspect of myself. My fertility journey taught me exactly how to develop a new relationship with time. 
     
    Questions for ya: 
     
    What if time wasn’t the royal pain the ass you think it is?
     
    What if time wanted to offer you more than a baby? (Would you say yes?)
     
    What if the setbacks and the change of plans are because the Universe is orchestrating every-fucking-perfect-detail behind the scenes, to give you 1. What you want, but also 2. An even better life than you had planned?
     
    Time isn’t against you. Time will, however, feel like and become what you perceive it as. 
     
    Your relationship with time is not set in stone. Time is not a fixed, set, hard aspect of reality. It’s 100% malleable. 
     
    Time expands and is incredibly generous, when you expand your perception of it.
     
    You have a healthy sense of control on how you respond to the unfolding nature of time. Particularly, on your fertility journey. 
     
    And I’m going to offer you a new relationship with time in this weeks brand new Fertile Ground Podcast: How to handle setbacks and frustrations around time while TTC.
     
    Stop suffering from the illusion of time that culture has wrongly placed on us.  
     
    Be open to what time is here – right now – to offer you inside of this podcast.
     
    Listen now!

    Episode 129 - Confirmation Bias and how it can affect fertility

    Episode 129 - Confirmation Bias and how it can affect fertility

    I watched the Super Bowl with my family a couple weekends ago and I noticed that the members of my family that were cheering for San Francisco (Not Taylor Swift’s BF’s team) had to go on and on about how much air time Taylor got and how she was annoyingly interacting with her friends. (HOW DARE SHE?!)
    Me, my mom and my husband were cheering for Kansas City. So we were loving watching her celebrate and enjoy herself. She was acting like a completely normal human being watching someone they love play an important football game. 
    What the members of my family have is called a: Confirmation Bias. 
    Which means, human brains actively search for evidence to validate their current beliefs.
    IE, “I want Kansas City to lose = Taylor Swift is annoying.” Even if she’s really not. But our brains and our ego’s would rather be right, than see the truth.
    A confirmation bias plays out often in the fertility journey and can be a very sneaky, subconscious way to resist the change that brings us closer to our babies. 
    FOR EXAMPLE:
    Let’s say you have the super common perfectionist belief that: “I’m not doing enough to get pregnant.” 
    Despite this belief, you start making small changes in your life to improve your mental and physical health. You’re more present, you have more energy, you’re more connected with your partner, and you’ve even started going on daily walks. You feel sooo good and at peace. But then…  you get your period. Even though you have evidence in your mind and body that you’ve never felt better and you’re making so much progress, your locked in confirmation bias of “I’m not doing enough.” kicks into full gear. And you fall back to square 1. 
    The confirmation bias belief is what actually runs the show. Because it will always look for evidence to be RIGHT, instead of letting go of the ego, and entering into the uncertain territory of pregnancy.
    This is SO IMPORTANT to become aware of, so I recorded a podcast on it: Confirmation bias and how it affects fertility. 
    And I even share ways to change this, in simple, powerful steps. Listen now!

Love this podcast

TTC is a rollercoaster of a journey. Community, openness and conversation is not easy to come by. Appreciate all the knowledge and support!

kmpoole ,

such great wisdom!

i just found this podcast and am loving these episodes!! there is so much wisdom, strength, and insight from Spenser and her guests. my only complaint is that Spenser interrupts her interviewees so often which can be a little bit frustrating as a listener and probably for their guests.

Grateful

I’m so grateful I stumbled on this podcast. I was in a dark place after 2 back to back miscarriages and Spenser’s positive words and attitude turned me right around. I took all of her advice and wound up pregnant the same month I started listening to the podcast. Every woman trying to conceive must listen to this podcast!!!
