Welcome to 'What the F - From Infertility Exhaustion to Peace' podcast.Hi. I'm Tina. After my own four year IVF journey and having a baby at 42 years old (through IVF) I knew that my purpose in this world was to support other women on this journey too. I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed, lost in your thoughts, and alone during IVF. That’s why I’m here—to help you not feel alone. During my own IVF journey, I discovered the power of simple yet effective tools to cope with the emotional highs and lows, rewire my thoughts, and heal from the trauma. What I needed then, and what I’m offering you now, is a safe space to explore your fears, anxieties, struggles and beliefs that may be holding you back with someone who truly understands. At the same time I was going through my IVF treatment, I trained to become a Master NLP Practitioner and Life Coach, with over 400+ hours of practical training and 1:1 coaching with so many women. Now, I’m using everything I’ve learned to guide you through this podcast. This is a space where honest, real conversations will inspire you to move forward, especially when you feel stuck. I really want to help you find peace, balance and self-kindness on your fertility journey. Wherever you are in your process, this podcast is about finding hope, rebuilding belief in yourself, and showing kindness to your mind and body. I hope my words offer comfort, insight, and the support you need to transform your inner voice and find calmness. Sending love and hugs to you all.If what I talk about resonates with you and you like what you're hearing, feel free to follow me on social media @tinafertilitycoach.Or take a look at my website www.tinafertilitycoach.comReach out to me as I'd love to talk you in person.Disclaimer: This podcast is intended for informational purposes only.

    Ep. 38 - Why am I so angry on my fertility journey?

    Anger is one of the most misunderstood emotions in infertility and is something that pretty much all women feel at one point in their journey. I know I can honestly say that I was angry at times for many reasons. In this episode, I break down why anger shows up so intensely during fertility struggles, what’s happening in your nervous system, and how NLP can help you shift the emotional charge instead of being so overwhelmed by it. You’ll hear:  • the real reasons you feel anger, irritation or rage  • how the brain reacts during infertility and why emotions feel out of control  • a powerful NLP-based tool you can use that's super easy but so effective and really helps  • journal prompts to help you release what you’ve been holding If you’ve ever thought:  “Why am I so angry?  "This isn’t me,”  This episode will help you understand what’s really going on and how release and soften it so that feel more at peace and grounded.   Follow me on instagram @tinafertilitycoach for more support and guidance and/or send me a DM or message.

    Ep. 37 - “Why does it feel so easy for everyone else?”

    If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “Why does it feel so easy for everyone else?” — this episode is for you. We talk openly and honestly about the quiet loneliness that comes with infertility and the ache of watching other people’s lives move forward while yours feels like it’s stuck on pause in limbo. You’ll learn why these feelings of isolation, loneliness, resentment, and grief are completely normal, what’s happening in your brain when you compare yourself to others, and how to shift those thoughts using simple NLP tools and Neuroscience-backed techniques. I’ll guide you through a gentle reframe to help you stop spiralling when everyone else seems to have it all together, along with journaling prompts, affirmations, and a calming breath exercise to bring you back to yourself. You’re not behind.  You’re not broken.  You’re just human — and you’re allowed to feel it all. Thank you for listening. I'd love to hear from you and if you have some time please rate and leave me a review so that this podcast can reach more and more women that really need to feel less alone on this journey.

    Ep. 36 - I don’t even recognise myself anymore

    When you’ve been on the fertility journey for what feels like forever, it’s easy to lose sight of the woman you used to be. You stop recognising yourself, the version of you who always was up for a laugh, who wasn’t constantly overthinking every decision or waiting for the next appointment. In this week’s episode of What the F – From Infertility Exhaustion to Peace, I’m opening up about what it really feels like to lose yourself in the process and how to start finding your way back. We’ll talk about: Why chronic stress and fertility trauma change the way your brain and body work  How NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) helps you rewire your thoughts, emotions and identity  A simple but powerful NLP visualisation exercise to reconnect with YOU  Journaling prompts and affirmations to remind you that the real you is still here — underneath all the fertility noise and chaos. This episode is your gentle reminder that you haven’t lost yourself, she’s still there, waiting to be seen and heard again.
