If you’re on your fertility journey, this episode will be relatable to so many. When life is busy, and you have a demanding job, adding fertility testing and treatments can add to the craziness of it all – and lead straight into an overwhelm spiral.
Living and maintaining this high level of output and being used to succeeding with hard work – it can be a wake-up call when the things that you’re used to doing that usually reap rewards, all of sudden do not – which is often the case when dealing with fertility.
In this episode, I talk with an alumna student who shares her story of going from her corporate job and busy lifestyle to relinquishing some control and learning how to slow down.
She recognized that fertility does not abide by the same rules as her corporate life. She found the fertile flow, but it took reconciling with her normal mode of operation.
Here’s what we talk about in this episode:
- The importance of comfy yoga spaces!
- What happens when your ‘perfect family building plan’ doesn’t happen
- Talking about infertility with friends – the stigma
- The overwhelm of information on things to restrict when trying to conceive
- Finding fertility yoga
- Learning how to slow down and let go of some control
- Fertility Yoga benefits from a student’s perspective
- Politely Declining invitations
- Social Media – using discernment & remembering that you need to digest everything
- Seeking support beyond the medical realm
- Relationships with partners and how as the person carrying the child you are the educator and your partner defers to you about everything
