"You have to get sick of your own shit before you can make radical change. No shortcuts, no excuses." Topics Discussed: Fertility burnout & emotional loops Radical self-awareness and inner frequency Energy and mindset shifts for conception Unlearning societal and personal expectations Practical joy-based strategies for fertility Your nervous system is listening to every thought, every feeling—get out of the loop or it keeps running your life. Hello, beautiful souls. Monica here... If you’ve ever felt like your fertility journey is a relentless hamster wheel, you’re not alone. In this episode, I continue part two of my conversation with Diane Flores as we dive deep into how emotional looping, control freak spirals, and toxic productivity can hijack your body’s ability to conceive. We’re talking about the cellular level, the stuff nobody else wants to tell you, where your joy, boundaries, and radical honesty are actually medicine. We break down the real work: not just yoga, meditation, or the “full moon ritual” hype, but how to show up in your mundane life with presence, awareness, and self-love. Diane shares her own journey of letting go of the story that her value depended on perfection and performance, and how tiny shifts in mindset, movement, and energy recalibration can literally change your fertility. This episode is for the women ready to stop white-knuckling, to stop comparing, and to start leaning into the magic of their own body’s wisdom. Expect laughter, tears, and some straight-up, unapologetic truth. Press play and let’s do this together—you’re not broken, you’re just human, and your next chapter is waiting. The more you shift your inner frequency, the more the world around you starts to shift too.
