In today's episode, I had the amazing Misty Gant, founder of Bija on to talk all things fertility. Bija is an online collective for women on their journey to motherhood. She is an integrative wellness practitioner with a focus on women's health. She is also a certified birth and postpartum doula. Through her work and her own fertility journey, she has felt and witnessed a void in the support women have when trying to conceive, navigate pregnancy and birth, and in the supremely tender postpartum period. She saw how there was a lack of connection, and tools for grounding, and somewhere along the way the magic was lost! She built Bija to serve and support those in the deepest depths of their experiences and to help bring the magic back.
We discussed:
- When to come off birth control to prepare
- Major don'ts and big do's to support your journey
- Creating a team to support you
- A little breakfast hack
- The importance of knowing everyone's journey is unique
- Trusting your body and knowing
- Becoming aware of the stories you are telling yourself
- To prenatal or not to prenatal
- What supplements will support you
- Being patient and kind to yourself
& so much more
If you are on your own journey towards conceiving right now I am sending you the biggest hug and prayers that it is coming for you.
