372. IVF Begins
Garrett drops a major update-- she is preparing for her first IVF cycle, including an egg retrieval and a fresh embryo transfer this August. She walks us through the cliff notes version of the lat 2.5 years of trying to conceive naturally-- including the challenges, learnings and health improvements. Despite conceiving her son Decklen naturally (first try) she and her husband Jeff now fall into the category of "unexplained [secondary] infertility."
Below are some of the helpful and reflective episodes she mentioned in this episode.

Jordana is a certified professional coach, Positive Lawyering professor, and founder and CEO of JC Coaching & Consulting, a company devoted to helping lawyers and other high-achieving professionals achieve greater satisfaction and sustainable success in their lives and work.
Her journey out of perfectionism and high achieving ways set her up for a better experience with IVF, as fertility is not something you can simply "achieve." Today she walks us through her story of healing, IVF and surrender.
In her blog, Chronicles of a Recovering Type A+ Perfectionist, Jordana shares stories and offers science-backed tips and strategies for reining in fear and cultivating joy, love, and values-based living in our crazy cut-throat world.

369. Men's Fertility with Matt Lenz of Posterity Health
Matt Lenz is the Chief Growth Officer for Posterity Health, a place where males go to manage their fertility. Posterity Health is the only digital male fertility platform that empowers you to learn about your fertility and take action.
Our host, Garrett, has been friends with Matt for 25 years and after a year of trying to conceive with no luck, Matt helped her on her journey by getting her husband Jeff access to testing.
Fertility awareness is an important pillar of Garrett's personal life, but also a part of our mission at kozēkozē as it's step one on the perinatal journey; many women try for months and months, beating themselves up, when there's a 50% chance that it's their partner's health.
Tune in to learn more about men's infertility, fertility as a biomarker, and more on Posterity Health's mission to change the fertility landscape for the better.

368. Is calm even possible with toddlers? (Nervous system regulation)
Garrett joins us for a solocast on nervous system regulation and her current thesis that "calm" is not fully accessible during the newborn + toddler era. It's more about bobbing and weaving between the levels of consciousness-- for instance, fight or flight is needed, at times, if your little one is injured; reactive consciousness is needed when you hear them scream across the park; restful awareness can be cut short when they scream for no reason (LOL). This episode dives into the navigation between the levels of consciousness and sheds light on how as moms, we can give ourselves permission to *not* be calm, but do things to access it intermittently... and that is a practice and a skill!

Customer Reviews
Great community to belong to and learn from!
So thankful I met Garrett and for her ability to connect women so gracefully and fostering communication that makes me feel less alone in the TTC journey!
Great Topics!
Garrett asks compelling questions to get to the deeper layers of people and life. Great listen!
Informative and gets you thinking!
I came across this episode after seeing it posted about on Instagram and it was the episode I didn’t know I needed. Garrett thoughtfully shares her knowledge and wisdom on the existential question “who am I?” - an easy question to get lost in due to the vagueness of it. Garrett helps to narrow down 5 relationships in your own life, and really causes you to pause, reflect and challenge yourself on how you are managing those relationships. I highly recommend giving this a listen - no matter where you are in your life or relationships! I believe everyone can learn from this. Thank you Garrett for sharing!
