    The Missing Piece: Why Hopeful Thinking Isn’t Enough to Get Pregnant with Lauren Enright

    In this powerful episode of Friends with Fertility, we explore the often-overlooked truth behind conception: positive thinking alone isn’t enough when the nervous system is overwhelmed and unresolved trauma lives in the body.   We’re joined by Lauren Enright, a mind-body fertility coach, somatic experiencing practitioner, fertility yoga teacher, mindfulness and meditation expert, behavioral breathwork guide, and birth doula with an academic background in neuroscience and education. With over a decade of experience, Lauren brings a deeply grounded, science-informed, and compassionate lens to fertility healing.   Lauren is the creator of the FULLY Fertile Method, a mind-body program that has helped people around the world heal trauma, process suppressed emotions, rewire limiting beliefs, and build a resilient nervous system—so they can get and stay pregnant, even in the face of age concerns, repeated loss, medical diagnoses, and discouraging statistics.   In this conversation, we unpack why the body must feel safe in order to conceive, how trauma and chronic stress can silently block fertility, and what it really takes to support the mind-body connection on the path to pregnancy. Lauren also shares how her own experience of birthing and parenting two children deepened her commitment to helping others break cycles of intergenerational trauma through education, empowerment, and nervous system regulation.   If you’ve been doing “all the right things” but still feel stuck, this episode offers insight, validation, and a missing piece that could change everything.

    In this emotionally charged episode of Friends with Fertility, we dive into the deeply personal and previously undisclosed journey of Olympic figure skating champion Tara Lipinski. Unexpecting takes listeners inside a five-year fertility journey that began in 2018, as Tara bravely shares the realities of infertility and IVF that unfolded far from the public eye. While Tara is widely known as an athlete-turned-broadcaster with a public-facing career, her path to motherhood remained a closely guarded secret. In this conversation, she opens up with raw honesty, vulnerability, and moments of humor about the physical and emotional toll of IVF, the unexpected complications she faced, and the relentless search for answers behind her struggle. This episode tackles the uncomfortable and often taboo realities of infertility and assisted reproduction, offering a candid look at what so many experience but few feel safe sharing. Tara’s resilience, strength, and willingness to tell the truth bring deep validation to anyone navigating a similar path. Unexpecting is more than a story—it’s a powerful exploration of infertility, identity, and the unpredictable road to building a family. This is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt unseen in their fertility journey.   Find Tara: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taralipinski/  Website: https://taralipinski.com/  Find Elizabeth: Instagram: @theoffcialelizabethking TikTok: @elizabethkingofficial https://www.elizabethking.com/    Thank you for listening to this episode of the Friends With Fertility Podcast.

    In this unforgettable episode of Friends with Fertility, we welcome actress, comedian, and musician Riki Lindhome—best known from Garfunkel & Oates, Another Period, Netflix’s Wednesday, and films like Knives Out.

This episode is full of honesty, humor, and hope—a reminder that even in the hardest moments, art, community, and resilience can carry us forward.   Find Rikki: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rikilindhome/  Find Elizabeth: Instagram: @theoffcialelizabethking TikTok: @elizabethkingofficial https://www.elizabethking.com/    Thank you for listening to this episode of the Friends With Fertility Podcast.
