I’m back after a 4-month break — and in this episode, I’m sharing what’s been going on behind the scenes 💛
I’m also diving into one of the biggest struggles I see (and have lived through myself): inconsistent or missing ovulation with PCOS.
I’ll walk you through:
🌿 Why ovulation can be so unpredictable with PCOS
🌿 What signs actually matter when tracking your cycle
🌿 The simple framework I used to go from 100+ day cycles to consistent 40–50 day cycles
If you’re ready to finally understand your body and create predictable ovulation — without restriction or stress — this episode is for you. 🩵
🎧 Tune in now — it feels so good to be back!

🍼✨ In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Kamilla Holst—pregnancy chiropractor and fertility coach best known as The Pregnancy Whisperer—for a real and empowering conversation about what it means to take charge of your fertility journey, especially when IVF is part of the path.
Dr. Kamilla shares her personal experiences with fertility challenges and IVF, and we dive deep into what she’s learned from both the clinical side and her own motherhood journey. Together, we talk about the power of individualized care, why testing matters, and how lifestyle shifts—when done intentionally—can truly support your body’s ability to conceive.
We also explore:
💭 The emotional and mental toll of TTC (with or without IVF)
🧪 The importance of testing & personalization—especially before jumping into treatment
🧘♀️ How a fertility coach can help you feel supported and less overwhelmed
🍼 Breastfeeding & fertility concerns + the reality of secondary infertility
💡 How to make informed decisions and stay empowered—no matter what path you’re on
🎧 Whether you’re considering IVF, navigating PCOS, or feeling stuck and unseen in your current care, this conversation will remind you: you are not alone, and you have more power than you think.
Because fertility support should be personal—not prescriptive. 💛

💬 This raw, honest episode is a special replay of an Instagram Live I did during National Infertility Awareness Week with fellow fertility coach Dr. Kamilla Holst—and let me just say, this conversation goes deep.
We talked about the quiet grief that comes with infertility, how perfectionism sneaks into our motherhood journeys, the shame and silence that so many women carry, and why building real community matters now more than ever.
We also explored the pressure of family expectations, the role of technology in fertility (and how it can both help and overwhelm), and what it really means to support yourself emotionally through all of it.

Dear waiting mom,
If you are like me, you're probably struggling with irregular cycles and/or insulin resistance. These issues can make your TTC journey harder for sure. That's why we are here today to learn more about what you can do in order to regulate your cycles and ovulation to increase your chances of pregnancy.
One of the things you can do that will be sooooo beneficial for you is to increase your FIBER intake!
I do not mean going out and buying Benefiber powder and mixing that with water and drink it twice daily.
I mean actually eating more dietary fiber!
If you don't know what foods have fiber, we will talk about that and so much MORE in today's episode!
P.S. I lost my voice this week because my baby got me sick so one of my lovely colleagues is filling in for me today and you guys are in for a treat!

Dear waiting mom,
So you've done the nutrition thing and you've done the lifestyle changes...
But you're still not pregnant yet...
...and you're wondering what else can you do at this point?
This is where herbal support for PCOS & fertility can come in!
For our last episode of the season (and the year!), I am joined by Lauren Eggleston, Intergrated Nutrition Health Coach, to talk to you all about herbs for fertility!
We'll go over specific herbs recommended for fertility and how you can use them.
Please enjoy this last episode (thank you so much for listening! I'll be back with a new season next year)

Dear waiting moms,
One of the most powerful ways to bring your baby home in 2024 is to start MANIFESTING him/her.
If you're new to manifestation, don't sweat!
I have invited Stefani Seek, author & certified life coach, as our guest speaker in today's episode.
She has so much insight on how to utilize this concept and make it work for your fertility journey no matter where you are.
Let's dive in and embody the power of manifestation to bring your baby home in 2024!

Dear waiting moms,
We are taking a look into what your future as a mom will look like in this episode as I speak to the founder of Moms2Moms, Christine Champagne.
As the nature of this episode is to go beyond our regular baby-making conversation, it can be triggering for some who are in the thick of their ttc journey.
However, the purpose of this podcast is to provide you with EVERYTHING you need to become a mom...
... and that includes preparing you for all the things motherhood will bring.
While we think this episode is incredibly important, you might choose to listen to this when you are ready.
When you are, we will be here to guide you on to the next step of becoming a mom.

Dear waiting mom,
When you've tried EVERYTHING you could think of to help make you dream of becoming a mom a reality...
...yet, your baby is still not here.
That's when we need to start looking at your fertility journey as a big picture - A holistic approach, if you will.
And who's better to chat with us about this other than a holistic health practitioner specializes in fertility & pregnancy.
Please enjoy this episode with our guest, Glenna James, as she gives us a closer look at how a holistic approach to fertility can help you.

Dear waiting moms,
We have been talking a lot about how nutrition and medication can help you conceive.
But they are not the only thing you should focus on if you're trying to make a baby.
Most of the time we overlook our mental health and our sleep as factors that can affect our fertility.
For our guest speaker today, Ana, she focuses 50% of her coaching to mindset and 20% to sleep.
I love helping women change their nutrition and lifestyle to further fuel their fertility, but I also love exploring other things that can help such as fertility yoga (we talked about in last episode), sleep hygiene and mindset work!
So, let's listen and find out how these concepts can become a part of your fertility journey.

Dear waiting mom,
As we navigate this journey, we tend to jump on the next best thing that supposed to help us get pregnant.
With that mindset, it can be difficult to really know what WILL actually help right?
Well, I want to introduce you to Fertility Yoga - A.K.A. the next best thing that will help you get pregnant *wink*
I love practicing yoga for my general health and wellbeing, and I have been doing it for over a DECADE (wow I feel a bit old...)
But I am sad to say that I did not discover Fertility Yoga until now!
Since I am not the expert on this subject, I have invited someone who is, and I am so excited to share this episode with you guys today!
Please enjoy this very special treat of an episode and learn all about how practicing fertility yoga will help you create your miracle baby.

Dear waiting moms,
If you have been told that you need to eat "low carb or try keto" ever in your life, then this episode is for you.
I remember laughing at my doctor's note when she recommended "low carb" to me when we found out that my A1C was in the prediabetes range.
I laughed because it was sad and funny at the same time.
Many women before me have been told this and now I am one of them.
I want to change your life and tell you that you don't have to cut out any carbohydrates at all and you can still get pregnant with PCOS (or other metabolic syndromes).
BUT HOW???
Well, let's find out, shall we?
