    17. Conceiving doesn’t have to be a struggle- Katherine’s Resilient Motherhood Success Story

    17. Conceiving doesn’t have to be a struggle- Katherine’s Resilient Motherhood Success Story

    Katherine’s story is a beautiful example of resilient fertility and embracing a growth mindset on the motherhood journey. In this episode, she shares her story about her challenging conception and pregnancy journeys with her first child and how they motivated her to take her preconception preparation up a notch for her second baby.

    She shares her experience of medical sabotage with her first pregnancy that led to an induction and resulting C-section and why she’s choosing to do a wild pregnancy and sovereign birth this second go-around.

    We get into what kinds of lifestyle changes, made the biggest impact for Katherine’s fertility this time around, what she loved most about my online program Resilient Motherhood, and how she was shocked that she was able to conceive on the first go, especially after her first conception journey.

    In this episode you’ll learn about the importance of deepening your knowledge and leaning on wisdom from women who have walked this path before you, intentional planning, and unconventional prenatal care choices is discussed, showcasing personal growth and a journey towards resilient motherhood.

    We are hoping you’ll feel inspired from her story to take action - whether you are already trying to conceive or you want to have your ideal motherhood experience the first time (without going through all the trial and error).

    15. Histamine Intolerance and Period Problems: The Role of Estrogen Dominance

    This episode of the Resilient Fertility Podcast delves into the intricate links between histamine levels, estrogen dominance, and fertility issues, especially during the spring season when allergies are rampant.

    I share insights from my recent Resilience from Estrogen Dominance workshop, explaining how allergens can exacerbate period pains, heaviness of bleeding and fertility problems by affecting histamine and estrogen levels. By drawing the connection between these elements, the episode explores the root causes of histamine intolerance and offers practical strategies for mitigating symptoms through diet, gut health optimization, and improving estrogen metabolism.

    If you're struggling with period problems, allergies, or trying to conceive, this episode provides valuable insights into using your diet and lifestyle changes to support your fertility journey. If you’re interested in using food as a means to address estrogen dominance and histamine intolerance, to finally experience relief from period pain and improving your chances of conceiving, then I’ll share next steps for doing so!

    13. Am I (still) pregnant?: Navigating doubt in early pregnancy

    Have you been trying to conceive and you’re either in your two week wait (TWW) or you’re newly pregnant and you’re just feeling like you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop? Are you afraid to get excited, to allow yourself to experience the joy of being pregnant because you may have had a short luteal phase or a history of pregnancy loss? You wake up every morning to check your BBT or do another pregnancy test- “am I pregnant yet?” “am I still pregnant??” The anxiety can feel overwhelming. I created this episode to help you navigate this mysterious period of the unknown.

    The necessary role of worry and fear on your conception journey
    How to set boundaries with your fear
    Positive affirmations to say during your TWW or early pregnancy
    Whether you should you share the news with your friends and family in early pregnancy
