Episode 275: What 2.5 Years of Trying to Conceive Taught Me: 8 Raw and Divine Lessons I Wish I Knew Sooner Part 2

Episode 275: What 2.5 Years of Trying to Conceive Taught Me: 8 Raw and Divine Lessons I Wish I Knew Sooner Part 2

This is the second installment of a two-part episode detailing the deeply personal and divine lessons I've learned since my husband and I started trying to conceive.

In Part 1, I laid the groundwork of our story, including how it began and why we moved away from conventional medicine to a more holistic approach.

In Part 2 of this vulnerable two-part series, I'm sharing the next layer of raw and divine wisdom I've uncovered through 2.5 years of trying to conceive. From the outside, it may look like a fertility story… but at its core, it's about self-worth, intuition, healing, and radically redefining what it means to care for yourself.

Over the past 2.5 years, we've done it all: from medical testing and major dietary changes to detox protocols, sauna therapy, and even switching the kind of water we drink. At one point, we were actually drinking psyllium husk everyday. It was disgusting.

We have invested so much money, time, and energy into our dreams to become parents. And at times, it's easy to wonder: is this actually going to work? Do I even deserve to care for myself in such a fundamental way?

Of course, the goal is to have a baby. But it's not allll about the baby. It's also about reclaiming self-worth, loving ourselves, and honoring our health on a cellular level, because there is no better investment.

Thank you so much for the love you shared after last week's episode. It made my day hearing from you. I hope today's conversation speaks to you and lifts you up just as much.

IN THIS EPISODE:

  • Why healing rituals aren't a chore—they're an act of devotion
  • How I'm using hypnosis to unearth subconscious and generational patterns, including inherited beliefs and family trauma
  • The real (and rocky) impact this journey had on our intimacy and marriage
  • The importance of the kind of language we use and who we surround ourselves with when en route to our goals
  • Why investing in my health has challenged everything I thought I knew about money, self-worth, and what it means to fundamentally take care of myself

If you're on your own journey to conceive—or navigating any season of deep personal transformation—this episode will crack your heart open in the most healing way.
