Infertility and the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: How to Change the Narrative Mar 23, 2025

If you’ve been on this fertility rollercoaster for a while, you’ve probably said something like this:

Gain back your self-confidence, sense of self, and self-respect in the midst of infertility Jan 03, 2025

When you can’t picture yourself holding your baby in your arms. Aug 19, 2024

One of the things I struggled with a lot on my fertility journey, was not being able to picture holding a baby in my arms at the end of it. I had hopes and dreams before we started trying to conceive, but a couple of years in, and I just couldn’t imagine it anymore.

And it worried me. Actually, it...

What to do when you’re consumed by infertility Aug 05, 2024

Infertility can feel all-consuming. It’s the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning, and it’s the last thought you have when you close your eyes at night.

Dealing with judgement on your fertility journey. Jun 17, 2024

I read some comments on a post over on Instagram the other day that were completely offensive to those who are trying in vain to have children via assisted reproductive methods. It made my blood boil, because it made me feel judged for the decisions I had made to create my family. Plus they were mad...

How cold-water therapy can reduce your stress (and a whole lot more). Jun 04, 2024

I originally stumbled upon cold water therapy when the Whim Hoff method was at its most popular. I got caught up in it while it was trending, and then lost interest.

But since then, then I’ve incorporated hot-cold therapy into my life for other reasons, the most significant being…..to regulate my n...

If you’re feeling overwhelmed and burnt out right now, you’re not alone. Competing priorities, impossible expectations, and a never-ending to-do list can do that to you.

What happens if this doesn’t work out how you planned? Mar 11, 2024

When you’re struggling to conceive, or to stay pregnant, this is a question we ask ourselves all the time.

What if this doesn’t work out?

What if all the shit I’ve put myself and my family through is all for nothing?

Letting go of self-blame on your fertility journey Feb 19, 2024

Last week I wrote a blog on all the things we blame ourselves for, and why these things are not your fault. You can read the exhaustive (and exhausting) list HERE.

I think deep down we know we’re being unreasonable in our self-blame, and that the things we’re blaming ourselves for don’t actually ma...

This is not your fault – and here’s why... Feb 05, 2024

We live in a world where it’s more important to find out who’s fault something is, rather than how we solve the problem.
