    32. Pregnancy Loss, Miscarriage & Grief: What No One Tells You (And What You Actually Need to Heal)

    Share your TTC story ✨ Hey beautiful, This one is deep. The kind of episode that might make you pause for a moment… take a breath… and just feel. Today I’m joined by Lauren (aka Lolo), founder of A Soulful Sorrow — a space for women navigating pregnancy loss, grief, and everything in between. And before we dive in… quick note — the tech gods were not on our side and we lost the first part of the conversation (I know 😅). But don’t worry, I’ve filled in the gaps so you’re not missing anything important. And truly… this is one of those conversations that stays with you. We’re talking about the parts no one really prepares you for — the grief, the shock, what happens in the body, the nervous system, the loneliness… and also what can gently support you through it. Because let’s be honest… So many women are walking through loss, IVF, negative tests, heartbreak — and being told to “just stay positive.” And if you’ve ever been on the receiving end of that… you’ll know it’s not always that simple. 🤍 In this episode, we chat about:  Why pregnancy loss is still so silenced, and why that needs to change  The real experience of miscarriage, beyond what we’re often told  The kind of grief that can feel unpredictable and all-consuming  What’s happening in your nervous system during loss  Why so many women feel alone in this, even when they’re not  The pressure and confusion around the “12-week rule”  What actually feels supportive… and what doesn’t  Gentle, practical tools to support your nervous system through grief  Pregnancy after loss, and why it can feel like a completely different journey  Ways to honour your baby and your experience in a meaningful way 🧠 The big takeaway? Grief isn’t something to fix or rush. It’s something to be felt, supported, and witnessed… in your own time, in your own way. And you’re not meant to do this alone. 🤍 Resources mentioned: Lolo’s work + support: A Soulful Sorrow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asoulfulsorrow/💬 If this episode resonated… Feel free to share it with someone who might need it, or pop it on your stories and tag me 🫶 It really does help get this into the ears of more women who might need to hear it.

    31. What I’d Do in the 90 Days Before IVF (If I Wanted to Do It Properly)

    Share your TTC story ✨ Alright, lovely… if you’re about to start IVF or you’re hovering around it like “ummm should I be doing more here??” …this one is for you. Because let’s be real for a second…  IVF is not a “we’ll just see what happens” kinda vibe. It’s emotional.  It’s physical.  It’s a financial investment (like… hello $17K 🫠). So no… we’re not just rolling in with vibes and a green juice. In this episode, I’m walking you through exactly what I would do in the 90 days before IVF if I wanted to give my body the absolute best shot. Because here’s the truth… 👉 Your eggs have been developing for the last 90 days (and beyond)  👉 Which means this window right now? It matters. A LOT. We’re not just talking ovaries here. We’re talking whole-body, root-cause, get-your-sh*t-together energy. ✨ What we get into: 💥 Why egg quality = your whole body terrain (not just your ovaries doing their own little solo act) 💥 The real reason your nervous system is EVERYTHING for fertility (and why you can’t out-supplement stress… sorry babe) 💥 Simple daily rituals that actually move the needle 💥 Nutrition without going full orthorexic meltdown (we are not surviving on almonds and air, thanks) 💥 Blood sugar balance and why your hormones are low-key obsessed with it 💥 The alcohol convo no one wants… but we’re having it anyway 🍷🚫 💥 The supplements that actually matter (and why timing is everything) 💥 Root cause testing vs guessing (gut, thyroid, inflammation, nutrients, the whole shebang) 💥 Detox, gut healing, and reducing your toxic load without spiralling into fear 💥 Why filtered water is a non-negotiable (yes, I said it) 💥 And the biggest shift of all… going from overwhelmed + spiralling → calm, clear, and confident 🔥 The vibe shift we’re going for: This isn’t about controlling the outcome (because we can’t). But it is about walking into IVF feeling like: ✨ “I’ve done what I can”  ✨ “My body is supported”  ✨ “I’m not guessing anymore” And honestly… that energy alone? Game changer. 🫶 Your next steps: If you’re in that 90-day window right now and your brain is doing the full Google spiral… 👉 Grab my free IVF Prep Checklist This will walk you through exactly where to start and what actually matters (no fluff, no overwhelm) Download here: https://abiwilde.myflodesk.com/ivf If you’re craving a little extra support, my link in bio is full of free resources to get you started — including my IVF Prep Checklist and my Two-Week Wait Support Kit to help you feel a little more grounded during that in-between.

    30. The Real IVF Experience: Infertility, Miscarriage & the Emotional Rollercoaster of Trying to Conceive

    Share your TTC story ✨ What happens when two funny, brutally honest humans decide to document their IVF journey in real time? You get this episode. Today I’m joined by Lauren and David Finn, the duo behind The Baby Making Business, and this conversation is equal parts hilarious, heartbreaking, raw and refreshing. We chat about what infertility and IVF actually look like behind the glossy clinic brochures and the weirdly chirpy “stay positive” energy floating around this space. We get into the real stuff here. The emotional chaos. The pressure on relationships. The grief. The waiting. The money. The miscarriages. The uncertainty. And the bizarre realities of sperm sample rooms, sad hospital teddy bears, and why dark humour can sometimes be the only thing keeping you from losing it. Lauren and David share their fertility journey with so much openness, vulnerability and wit. Conversations like this remind you that you are not the only one crying in a clinic car park, rage-Googling uterine lining thickness at midnight, or trying to hold hope and heartbreak in the same body. In this episode we chat about: • how The Baby Making Business came to life • what it’s really like navigating infertility and IVF as a couple • the emotional, physical and financial toll of treatment • why humour has become one of their biggest coping tools • how IVF impacts relationships, work, friendships and everyday life • the importance of advocating for yourself inside the fertility system • what actually feels supportive from friends and family (and what really doesn’t) • the emotional whiplash of hope, grief, waiting and uncertainty • what they wish they’d known earlier in their journey This episode is for anyone who is in it right now. Trying. Waiting. Injecting. Hoping. Grieving. Advocating. Holding it together by a thread and a dark joke. Lauren and David bring so much heart to this conversation, along with the kind of humour that makes the unbearable feel a little more survivable. Think infertility chat with a side of emotional support sarcasm.

    29. The Emotional Toll of Trying to Conceive, IVF & Pregnancy After Loss with Dr. Andrea Liner

    Share your TTC story ✨ And then, if you finally see those two pink lines… surprise. The anxiety doesn’t magically evaporate. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Andrea Liner, a licensed clinical psychologist and reproductive psychologist specialising in infertility, IVF, pregnancy after loss and postpartum mental health. She’s also an IVF mama herself, so she understands this world from both sides of the chair. We talk about the stuff that doesn’t make the highlight reel: • How infertility can quietly erode your relationship  • The identity crisis around “egg quality issues”  • What IVF does to your nervous system  • Why pregnancy after infertility feels like a confusing in-between  • Disenfranchised grief and sadness you don’t feel “allowed” to have  • Rebuilding trust with your body after months of monitoring We also dive into her story of PCOS, autoimmune issues, egg retrievals, being told at 32 to consider donor eggs, uncovering inflammation and gut imbalances, switching clinics, and eventually welcoming her son, Miles. You can find Dr. Andrea Liner at  https://fluxpsychology.com and on Instagram at  https://www.instagram.com/reproductivepsychologist/ If you loved this conversation and want a deeper dive into what happens inside the IVF lab, listen to my episode with Emma the Embryologist here:  https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/14-inside-ivf-with-emma-the-embryologist-myths/id1825750893?i=1000731837986 Because understanding both the emotional and biological side of IVF? That’s power. If you’re trying to conceive and exhausted, in the middle of IVF, pregnant after loss and terrified to relax, or just craving support from someone who truly gets it, this episode is for you. If Andrea’s story made you realise fertility doesn’t exist in a vacuum, that inflammation, gut health and stress matter, it may be time for a new approach. I work with women to support fertility from the foundations up. We focus on inflammation, gut health, nervous system regulation and targeted EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique, to create the healthiest possible environment for conception and naturally support egg quality.

    28. When Trying to Conceive Becomes Exhausting (and How Nervous System Regulation Actually Helps)

    Share your TTC story ✨ Let’s be real for a second. Trying to conceive can be absolutely bloody exhausting. Not just emotionally, but on a whole-body, nervous-system, running-on-fumes level. In this episode of The Wilde Way, we’re talking about why trying for a baby can feel so draining, even when you’re “coping”, doing all the right things, and holding it together on the outside. Because TTC isn’t just about tracking cycles and timing sex. It’s the waiting. The hoping. The bracing. The monthly emotional gymnastics. That quiet urgency humming away in the background like a dodgy fridge you can’t ignore. And yep, your body feels that. In this episode, I unpack why urgency and waiting don’t just live in your head, but in your nervous system, and why nervous system regulation isn’t some fluffy wellness add-on for fertility. It’s actually pretty central to how supported and safe your body feels while you’re doing this. I also share a bit of my own recent wake-up call around depletion, burnout, postpartum recovery, and what happens when a body has been giving for a long time and finally goes, “Okay… that’s enough now.” Inside the episode, we chat about: Why trying to conceive often becomes a full-body state of vigilanceHow urgency and pressure impact your nervous system and fertilityWhy your body may shift into protection mode when it’s been under strainThe difference between hope and urgency (and why they’re not the same thing)Why “just relax” is trash advice and can honestly get in the binFive practical, doable ways to regulate your nervous systemWhy rest, rhythm, and safety matter more than trying harderThis episode is for the woman who’s been giving a lot. Holding a lot. And quietly wondering why she feels so bloody tired. You’re not broken. Your body isn’t failing you. It’s communicating. 💛 Support mentioned in this episode If listening to this makes you think, “I don’t want to do this alone anymore,” I offer free one-on-one preconception chats. Zero pressure. Just a real, grounded conversation. 👉 Book a free preconception chat here: https://calendly.com/abi-wilde/30min 🕯 Tools I love for nervous system support I mention red light and blue-light management in this episode.

    27. 6 Things I Wish I’d Known About Fertility at 38: Age Fear, Low AMH & IVF

    Share your TTC story ✨ If you’re on a fertility journey and feeling pressure around age, time, low AMH, or the sense that you need to “figure this out now,” this episode is for you. In this solo episode, I share the six things I wish I’d known about fertility when I was 38 and deeply afraid I was running out of time. Now at 43, I reflect on how age fear quietly drives urgency, rushed decisions, and burnout — especially when IVF enters the conversation. This episode is not anti-IVF. I’ve done IVF. It gave me my son. But it is a truth-telling conversation about timing, nervous system safety, advocacy, and why slowing down can sometimes be the most powerful move forward. In this episode, we explore: • Why feeling urgent doesn’t mean time is actually running out  • How age fear and AMH anxiety compress decision-making  • IVF as a powerful tool — not a race you have to enter immediately  • Why fertility doesn’t live in your ovaries alone  • The importance of advocating for your body and asking better questions  • Why calm is a biological requirement for fertility  • How simplifying your approach can often move the needle more than doing everything at once Mentioned in this episode: 🎧 Inside IVF with Emma the Embryologist https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/14-inside-ivf-with-emma-the-embryologist-myths/id1825750893?i=1000731837986 Work with me (limited availability): I’ve opened just two spots for one-on-one fertility coaching — the only spots I’m opening right now, and they will fill quickly.

    26. Unexplained Infertility, IVF Failure & Root-Cause Healing with Fertility Specialist Gabriela Rosa

    Share your TTC story ✨ Alright lovely, let’s talk about the phrase that makes my left eye twitch. “Unexplained infertility.” If you’ve been told everything looks normal If you’ve done the tests, the supplements, the IVF cycles If you’ve quietly wondered if it’s you that’s broken This episode is for you. Today on The Wilde Way, I’m joined by Gabriela Rosa, globally recognised fertility specialist, Harvard Doctor of Public Health candidate, and one of the sharpest minds in evidence-based fertility care. And this is not a sugar-coated chat. We unpack why unexplained infertility is often not unexplained at all, why more IVF cycles aren’t always the answer, and why so many women get stuck on the fertility hamster wheel being told to just “try again”. Spoiler:  It’s not because you’re lazy, broken, or too old.  It’s usually because the right questions haven’t been asked yet. This conversation is equal parts science, truth bombs, validation, and relief. Less “just push harder”, more “let’s actually figure out what’s going on”. What we cover Why unexplained infertility is one of the most misleading fertility diagnosesThe real reasons IVF cycles fail, even when tests look “normal”Why doing more isn’t always betterThe role of inflammation, stress, metabolic health, and lifestyleWhy sperm quality matters just as much as egg qualityThe difference between normal vs optimal fertility markersHow genetics and epigenetics influence fertility outcomesThe big reframe There is no simple solution to a complex fertility problem.  But when you slow down, zoom out, and look at the whole picture, things can shift. This episode isn’t about blame.  It’s about clarity, agency, and better options.

    25. If You’re Afraid to Hope Again, This Is for You

    Share your TTC story ✨ This is a short New Year’s Eve episode for anyone who’s still waiting. Waiting for a pregnancy. Waiting for answers. Waiting for life to look different. New Year’s Eve can feel exciting and hopeful, but it can also feel heavy when you’re on a fertility journey. This episode isn’t a lesson, a list, or a plan. It’s a pause. A moment to breathe. And a reminder that you’re not doing this wrong. In this solo episode, I share honestly about what New Year’s Eve felt like for me before I became a mum. The tension between hope and fear. The quiet panic around time passing. The backup plans we make just to feel safe. The guilt, the spiritual questions, and the deep desire to become a mother while still feeling scared to hope again. We talk about: The emotional weight of New Year’s Eve when you’re still waitingWhy hope can feel risky after a long fertility journeyThe pressure women put on themselves at this time of yearWhy your body doesn’t need more pressure, it needs more safetyA gentle reflection on what you might want to leave behind and carry into the new yearIf January feels heavy for you, this episode is here to remind you that nothing is wrong with you. You don’t need to decide anything tonight. You don’t need a word for the year. You don’t need a perfect plan. As I move into 2026, I’ll be releasing the podcast fortnightly. It’s the rhythm that feels right for this season of work and mamahood, and it allows me to create these conversations with more intention and care. You’re allowed to want this. You’re allowed to be scared. You’re allowed to hope carefully. And you’re allowed to slow down. Happy New Year, lovely. Wherever you are on your journey, I’m holding you in it.
