    66. Maybe this isn't meant for me. Why do I feel so defeated during infertility? I Dear Jess

    In this Dear Jess episode, I answer your question about feeling defeated during infertility. I break down how the subconscious mind works to protect us from repeated pain, why thoughts like "this isn't meant for me" aren't actually true reflections of what's possible, and I introduces the concept of the "fertility triangle"  the idea that conception involves three parties (you, your partner, and the soul you're calling in) and why releasing some control isn't the same as giving up. In this episode: Why the subconscious mind records painful experiences as "fact" and tries to protect you from repeat pain How to separate a protective thought from your true desire The "fertility triangle" framework and why you're not the only writer of this story Why feeling defeated doesn't mean you're doing something wrong Submit your own question for a future Dear Jess episode: click here Take the quiz to learn where you most need support right now: take the quiz Connect with me on TikTok: @herfertility.support   Jess Tims is a researcher, educator, and creator of Her Fertility Support.

    63. Fertility Nurse Laura Weppler on IVF, Emotional Support & Why Your ‘Fertility Village’ Matters

    Fertility Nurse Laura Weppler on IVF, Emotional Support & Why Your ‘Fertility Village’ Matters. On the Her Fertility Podcast, host Jess interviews Laura Weppler, a nurse with 12 years in fertility care and an alum of the Her Fertility Certification Program, about her dual perspective as a fertility clinic professional and IVF patient. Laura shares her infertility journey including miscarriage, surgeries, a torn cervix, anxiety about carrying a pregnancy, and needing multiple embryo transfers before success. They discuss the critical gap in fertility care: education and emotional support, the importance of human connection (especially as people turn to Google and AI like ChatGPT for “crystal ball” answers), and the value of integrating Western and holistic approaches rather than choosing all-or-nothing. Laura now runs Rooted Fertility Co, supports clients one-on-one, and co-hosts the podcast Fertility Nurses Unfiltered to give patients an insider look at clinics and spark system improvements, while encouraging listeners to “build your village” of support beyond the clinic. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions 00:50 Laura’s Nursing Path 01:10 Her IVF Journey 04:11 Human Connection vs AI 05:29 Why She Got Certified 06:46 Blending East and West 07:44 New Podcast Launch 08:56 Nurses Power Clinics 11:48 Build Your Support Village 12:24 Where to Find Laura 12:59 Final Thanks and Reviews   Connect with Laura Instagram: @rootedfertility_co Website: https://rootedfertilityco.com  Ready for support that meets you where you are?

    "Player three is joining our family this summer, and I’m sharing how my road to motherhood included blood draws, X-rays, pills, injections, endless ultrasounds, and negative test after negative test—while still getting painful questions about when we’d have kids. Unexplained infertility felt isolating and uncertain, like chasing an oasis that disappeared every month." - Kelsey In this Her Fertility Podcast episode, I talk with Kelsey, a client I supported through unexplained infertility and multiple IUI cycles while trying to get pregnant. She shares how reaching out—despite skepticism and keeping the journey private—helped her mental health, her relationship dynamic, and her ability to stay hopeful through failed cycles. We worked on regulating her nervous system, addressing fear and doubt, and using grounding and visualization practices, and today she’s pregnant and expecting her first baby later this year. 00:02 Unexplained Infertility Pain  02:01 Starting IUI Treatments 03:14 First Session Breakthrough 06:40 IUI Before Vs After 08:21 What A Fertility Doula Does 09:30 Visualizations And Mind Body  Connect with Jess: www.tiktok.com/@herfertility.support  Find fertility support at www.herfertility.support/free Disclaimer: The Her Fertility podcast is for general educational and informational purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
