    Taking Control of Your Fertility Journey with Dr. Laura Costello

    In this deeply honest and empowering conversation, Jeanne Collins sits down with Dr. Laura Costello to unpack the emotional, physical, and relational realities of infertility.  From misdiagnosis and IVF heartbreak to miscarriage, grief, and ultimately motherhood, Dr. Costello shares the journey that inspired her book Pretrimester. T ogether, they explore how women can shift from reactive to proactive fertility care through nutrition, stress management, detoxification, and emotional resilience.  This episode is a powerful reminder that while the path to motherhood can be long and winding, women have more agency, tools, and support available than they’ve been led to believe. Laura's Book Recommendation: You Can Heal Your Life Laura's Book:  Pretrimester: A Groundbreaking Guide to Preparing Your Mind, Body, and Environment for Pregnancy More about Laura: Dr. Laura Costello is a women’s health physical therapist, fertility and preconception specialist, and the author of the brand-new book Pretrimester, a science-backed guide to preparing the body, mind, and environment for pregnancy.  With nearly 20 years of clinical experience—and her own decade-long journey navigating stage 4 endometriosis, infertility, IVF, and loss—Dr. Costello blends evidence-based medicine with holistic, practical guidance to help women take a proactive approach to fertility.

    Expanding Your Capacity for Stress and Growth with Karen Canham

    Stress isn’t just a badge of honor — it’s a signal. In this powerful conversation, Jeanne Collins sits down with Karen Canham, founder of Karen Ann Wellness, to unpack how chronic stress lives in the body, shapes our behaviors, and quietly impacts our long-term health.  From navigating male-dominated corporate environments to launching her own neurosomatic coaching practice, Karen shares how somatic experiencing, parts work therapy, and breathwork can expand our capacity for stress and help us return to a state of flow.  This episode is a grounded, science-informed look at nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and what it really means to “take it down a notch” in a world that glorifies hustle. Karen's Book Recommendation: Bringing Home the Dharma: Awakening Right Where You Are More about Karen: Karen Canham is a Board-Certified Coach, Specialist in NeuroSomatics and founder of Karen Ann Wellness, where she helps individuals and organizations move from stress and reactivity to regulation.  Her path to this work has been a journey in itself. Over the past 18 years, Karen has evolved from fitness and nutrition coaching into yoga, functional medicine, meditation, energy work, and ultimately, somatic and parts work therapy exploring every layer of what it means to truly heal.  After years in corporate leadership, including roles within Fortune 50 and tech companies, she began to see a pattern: even the most capable people were living in a state of chronic stress, disconnected from their bodies and their truth. That realization led her to nervous system regulation as the missing link between striving and sustainable well-being. Karen’s approach is both deeply personal and practical. Having recovered from anorexia and years of disconnection from her own body, she understands that healing begins with safety, not self-discipline. Through her coaching, workshops, and trainings, she teaches people how to regulate, reconnect, and rebuild from the inside out leading, communicating, and creating from grounded presence and self-trust rather than survival. www.karenannwellness.com  Instagram @karenann_wellness  Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/karenannwellness/ 🎓 Empowerment Fundamentals Course: Use Code PODCAST15 for a 15% discount https://members.houseofjermar.com/empowerment-course 📖 Read Jeanne's Book: Two Feet In: Lessons From an All-In Life https://a.co/d/7Hyrc8m 🔗 Follow Jeanne! https://houseofjermar.com https://instagram.com/houseofjermar/ https://youtube.com/@Houseofjermar
