Welcome to today's episode of What We Tell Our Daughters. Coming to you from Koh Samui, Thailand this week! We're continuing on our fertility journey together this week - but instead of hormones and labs, we're talking about the mindset of fertility.
In Western Medicine & in Functional Medicine, we talk A LOT about physical root causes of infertility, labs, cycles, science, numbers... but we almost never talk about the emotional and spiritual journey that struggling with fertility brings. Today I'll share with you some of the biggest lessons I learned in my fertility journey and some gems that my mentors shared with me.

Journaling Prompts:
Do I believe in a little baby spirit? If not, is there another form of energy, science, meaning this baby spirit could take that would align with my belief system?
How can I make more space for growth, evolution, trust, patience on this fertility journey?
If I don't believe in a spiritual connection or an unknown, how do I find peace with the things that feel beyond my control in this journey?
