Finding Fertility

“You're never going to out-energetic your physical issues. And you’ll never physical your way out of ignoring your energy.” Topics Discussed * What radical responsibility looks like * Low progesterone and overlooked physical blocks * Energetic burnout vs physical imbalances * How to spot where you’ve fallen off the wagon * Getting radically honest with your habits “You can’t out-energy a physical imbalance—and you can’t out-supplement a lie.” Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here... and today, we're not sugarcoating it. This is one of those episodes—the kind that hits deep, stings a little, and heals even more. We're talking radical responsibility. Not the hustle kind. The soul-checking, lunch-skipping, progesterone-isn’t-a-fluke kind. I had a powerful session with a client who felt like she was doing everything right—tracking, meditating, eating clean—but still stuck in the same cycle. Sound familiar? Here's the truth I had to share with her: You might be doing all the right things, but if you’re ignoring known physical issues like low progesterone or gut imbalances, that spiritual hustle is only getting you halfway. Your body needs your honesty. Your presence. Your willingness to go one layer deeper, not for punishment, but for peace. Press play if you’re ready to stop outsourcing your power and take your healing into your own damn hands. “If your body could talk, she’d say: I’m still here. I’m still fighting. But I need you too.” Timestamps [01:36] The meaning of radical responsibility and why it will get you faster to your goal. [02:50] Why doing everything right still isn’t enough when dealing with low progesterone and ignored red flags. [05:10] The importance of being radically honest and getting back into alignment with both the physical and energetics. [07:40] Why you have to go a level deeper to tackle your autoimmune condition and see success quicker. [09:30] The importance of turning every stone so you never wonder “what if”. “You’re not meant to be perfect. You’re meant to be proud of how you showed up.” Full Transcript on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/how-to-be-honest-with-yourself-take-radical-responsibility-even-with-a-medical-infertility-diagnosis [https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/how-to-be-honest-with-yourself-take-radical-responsibility-even-with-a-medical-infertility-diagnosis]  Let's Do This Together 💚 Monica Message me DREAMS to access your free Fertility Breakthrough Session:   Email: monica@findingfertility.co [not .com 🤣] Instagram: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityIG [https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityIG]  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@findingfertility [https://www.youtube.com/@findingfertility] TikTok: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityTikTok [https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityTikTok]    🌺 Book Your Fertility Breakthrough Session Today here: https://calendly.com/findingfertility/discoveryconsultation?month=2022-10 [https://calendly.com/findingfertility/discoveryconsultation?month=2022-10]   🎙 Subscribe on your favourite podcast platform:⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Apple: http://bit.ly/FINDINGFERTILITYAPPLE⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ [http://bit.ly/FINDINGFERTILITYAPPLE%E2%81%A3%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A3%E2%81%A3%E2%81%A3] Stitcher: http://bit.ly/FindingFertilitySTITCHER [http://bit.ly/FindingFertilitySTITCHER] Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0BMtwCvdyR4aJyfSfcKh6i [https://open.spotify.com/show/0BMtwCvdyR4aJyfSfcKh6i]   🍍HELP SUPPORT THE SHOW🍍 You can shop for your favourite fertility support products over on: Seeking Health:https://bit.ly/FFSeekingHealth [https://bit.ly/FFSeekingHealth] & Amazon:http://bit.ly/FindingFertilityAmazon [http://bit.ly/FindingFertilityAmazon]   Anything written or said about health and diet are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, through trial and error, study, reading, listening and observing.

“Your body isn’t broken. It’s begging you to stop treating it like a failed science project.” Topics Discussed * Shame, body image, and infertility * IVF shame and subconscious fertility beliefs * Emotional healing after miscarriage and failed cycles * Cellular health and type-A burnout “If your body wasn’t healing, you’d already be dead. So maybe give her some credit.” Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here... This episode isn’t here to sugarcoat. It’s here to shake up the narrative you’ve been told about your body. You’re not broken. You’re not behind. And you sure as hell aren’t a fertility failure. You’re just running someone else’s roadmap—and your body’s been trying to scream over the GPS the whole time. I get real about a conversation with a client who spiraled into shame after one miscarriage. One. And that single event labeled her “infertile,” shoved her into IVF timelines, and triggered a full-blown identity crisis. We unpack what actually causes that my body is broken loop—and how you can stop living like a walking fertility statistic. If you’ve been hustling your way to conception, skipping breakfast and skipping joy, this one’s for you. It’s time to ditch the factory and come back home to your body. You deserve better than another checklist. You deserve a damn revolution—press play. “Your body is still fighting for you even when you're mad at it. Even when you’ve given up.” Timestamps [01:23] The importance of realizing that your body isn’t broken and it’s always fighting for you. [06:00] How to thank your body when you feel like quitting or are too tired to do anything “right”. [07:20] How one miscarriage led to an IVF rabbit hole and why trying harder is hurting your fertility. [08:40] Type A burnout, how it ruins cellular health, and the shame the medical system tricks you into. [10:15] Radical responsibility vs toxic positivity on your fertility journey. “You think you’re starting over. You’re not. You’re starting aligned.”  Full Transcript on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/how-to-stop-feeling-broken-during-infertility-and-start-trusting-your-body-again [https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/how-to-stop-feeling-broken-during-infertility-and-start-trusting-your-body-again] Let's Do This Together 💚 Monica Message me DREAMS to access your free Fertility Breakthrough Session: Email: monica@findingfertility.co [not .com 🤣] Instagram: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityIG [https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityIG]  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@findingfertility [https://www.youtube.com/@findingfertility] TikTok: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityTikTok [https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityTikTok]    🌺 Book Your Fertility Breakthrough Session Today here: https://calendly.com/findingfertility/discoveryconsultation?month=2022-10 [https://calendly.com/findingfertility/discoveryconsultation?month=2022-10]   🎙 Subscribe on your favourite podcast platform:⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Apple: http://bit.ly/FINDINGFERTILITYAPPLE⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ [http://bit.ly/FINDINGFERTILITYAPPLE%E2%81%A3%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A3%E2%81%A3%E2%81%A3] Stitcher: http://bit.ly/FindingFertilitySTITCHER [http://bit.ly/FindingFertilitySTITCHER] Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0BMtwCvdyR4aJyfSfcKh6i [https://open.spotify.com/show/0BMtwCvdyR4aJyfSfcKh6i]   🍍HELP SUPPORT THE SHOW🍍 You can shop for your favourite fertility support products over on: Seeking Health:https://bit.ly/FFSeekingHealth [https://bit.ly/FFSeekingHealth] & Amazon:http://bit.ly/FindingFertilityAmazon [http://bit.ly/FindingFertilityAmazon]   Anything written or said about health and diet are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, through trial and error, study, reading, listening and observing.

"You don’t need more tools. You need to live what you already know—especially in the mundane." 🧠 Topics Discussed: * Why knowledge without embodiment keeps you stuck * Coherence vs. perfection: how alignment creates real fertility shifts * Why doing the energetic work only at retreats or sessions isn’t enough * How to take radical responsibility in your daily routine * The emotional + subconscious patterns still running the show * The real reason it’s not “working” (even when you're doing it all) "The real work isn’t in the next session, it’s in brushing your teeth and checking your thoughts." Hello beautiful, Monica here... If you've ever thought, “I could write a damn book on healing and fertility by now,” but you still feel stuck—this episode is for you. Buckle up, because we’re diving into the sneaky little gap between knowing and doing. We’re talking about that awkward moment when you realize you’ve done all the meditations, drank the bone broth, bought the fancy supplements, and you’re still Googling "why am I not pregnant?" at 2 a.m. 😬 I get it. I lived it. I am it sometimes. In this raw episode, I spill what actually created a massive shift—not another protocol, not another healer, but showing up in my everyday life like it actually mattered. Like brushing my teeth while checking my frequency. Like choosing not to spiral on a Tuesday afternoon because a thought told me “it’s not working.” This is the episode where I tell you: You are not lazy. You are not broken. But if you’re not showing up for yourself in the micro-moments, you’re stuck in the illusion of effort. Let’s bust that lie wide open, yeah? "Your healing happens in how you do life, not how many tools you’ve collected." ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Welcome and why this episode is NOT for the faint of heart 01:31 – The myth of healing only happening in the big sessions 03:25 – How to check your frequency in mundane moments 05:24 – Why most people aren’t actually applying what they know 07:15 – Monica’s personal slip back into old patterns & how she got out 10:09 – The one-minute practice that retrains your nervous system 12:00 – The four truths of coherence & how they apply to fertility 14:27 – The difference between knowledge & embodiment 15:55 – Micro-moment check-in challenge: are you in default or coherence? 18:53 – Radical responsibility isn’t sexy, but it’s everything "The magic isn’t in the meditation—it's in how you live when you’re not meditating."

“We’ve been sold this idea that we can do it all—but no one warned us what it would cost our fertility.” Topics Discussed * Medical gaslighting in fertility care * The myth of “unexplained infertility” * How testing without intuition leads to burnout * AMH panic and the IVF fear factory * Western medicine vs empowered fertility care * Surrendering control while staying empowered “Unexplained infertility is just code for 'we didn’t bother to look deeper.” Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here… and let me just say this: if you’ve ever felt like your fertility journey has turned into a full-time job with zero PTO, this episode is going to hit. Deep. Today, I’m back with Jenna for a raw, powerful part two. We’re digging into the medical gaslighting, the industry that thrives on your fear, and what it really means to make empowered choices around fertility. You’ll hear us riff on everything from “golden handcuffs” and birth control’s broken promise to how the IVF system is built like a car dealership—complete with the closer. And yes, we’re going there. We're naming the truth: you’re not broken. Your body is wise. And sometimes the most radical thing you can do is slow the hell down, get outside, and stop living like your worth is measured in checklists and lab results. So, if you’ve been white-knuckling this journey, waiting for someone to finally say, “You can rest,” this is your permission slip. Press play, take the walk, breathe deeper. You’re not alone—and you’re not crazy for wanting more than a number on a chart. “If you're not ovulating, you're not connected to nature. And if you're not connected to nature, you're not connected to your intuition. Full stop.” Timestamps [02:25] Understanding why innate fertility is still real and how to reconnect with it. [05:39] How the fertility industry is indoctrinated and profits off your panic. [09:53] What real empowerment in fertility looks like, plus the power of trusting your intuition. [16:40] The hidden risks of IVF nobody’s talking about and the importance of boosting cellular health. [19:45] Understanding what “unexplained infertility” really means and why AMH freakouts are messing with your mind. [21:09] Jenna explains the real problem with obsessively testing everything and how to test the right way. [23:38] What low energy says about your fertility readiness and why you should have your energy in check before pregnancy. “The baby doesn’t want your hustle. The baby wants your presence.” Full Transcript on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/is-ivf-the-only-way-what-your-doctors-aren-t-telling-you-about-fertility-success [https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/is-ivf-the-only-way-what-your-doctors-aren-t-telling-you-about-fertility-success]  Connect with Jenna Longoria: * https://www.instagram.com/theperiodguru/ [https://www.instagram.com/theperiodguru/] * https://pages.jennalongoria.com/fertility-checklist/  [https://pages.jennalongoria.com/fertility-checklist/] Let's Do This Together 💚 Monica Message me DREAMS to access your free Fertility Breakthrough Session: Email: monica@findingfertility.co [not .com 🤣] Instagram: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityIG [https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityIG]  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@findingfertility [https://www.youtube.com/@findingfertility] TikTok: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityTikTok [https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityTikTok]    🌺 Book Your Fertility Breakthrough Session Today here: https://calendly.com/findingfertility/discoveryconsultation?month=2022-10 [https://calendly.com/findingfertility/discoveryconsultation?month=2022-10]   🎙 Subscribe on your favourite podcast platform:⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Apple: http://bit.ly/FINDINGFERTILITYAPPLE⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ [http://bit.ly/FINDINGFERTILITYAPPLE%E2%81%A3%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A3%E2%81%A3%E2%81%A3] Stitcher: http://bit.ly/FindingFertilitySTITCHER [http://bit.ly/FindingFertilitySTITCHER] Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0BMtwCvdyR4aJyfSfcKh6i [https://open.spotify.com/show/0BMtwCvdyR4aJyfSfcKh6i]   🍍HELP SUPPORT THE SHOW🍍 You can shop for your favourite fertility support products over on: Seeking Health:https://bit.ly/FFSeekingHealth [https://bit.ly/FFSeekingHealth] & Amazon:http://bit.ly/FindingFertilityAmazon [http://bit.ly/FindingFertilityAmazon]   Anything written or said about health and diet are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, through trial and error, study, reading, listening and observing.

“Your ovulation is your fifth vital sign. Ignoring it is like ignoring your breath.” Topics Discussed * The hidden risks of long-term birth control use * PCOS, ovarian cysts, and natural healing * Fertility timelines and age myths * The emotional cost of control on the fertility journey * Hormone-disrupting chemicals and modern lifestyle traps * Emotional load, overwork, and reproductive stress * Creating space and safety for the baby to arrive * Why slowing down is sometimes the real medicine “Your body isn’t broken. It’s brilliant. And it’s begging you to slow down and listen.” Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here... If you’ve ever walked out of a doctor’s office with more confusion than clarity and a birth control script you didn’t ask for, this episode is going to hit home. I’m talking with the incredible Jenna Longoria—aka the Period Guru—who’s lived the nightmare of being dismissed, medicated, and nearly losing an ovary on her honeymoon. Yep. You read that right. We unpack how years of fake hormones can shut down your body and your intuition, how the post-pill rollercoaster almost took Jenna out, and why timelines are straight-up illusions that fuel fertility burnout. We also go there with the truth about PCOS, secondary infertility, and why sometimes your baby hasn’t arrived yet… because your body is asking you to come home to it first. Jenna and I crack open a raw, honest conversation about the toxic pressure to do more, be more, push harder... and the quiet truth your body’s been whispering all along. We talk about the deep conditioning that keeps women sprinting through burnout while TTC and the illusion of control IVF sometimes offers. This isn’t a blame game, it’s a wake-up call. Because if you’re trying to create life from a body that’s running on empty, something’s got to give. We get radically real about redefining success, softening the grip, and why sometimes creating space (literally and emotionally) is the most fertile thing you can do. It’s not about giving up your dreams. It’s about remembering that you're already worthy — before the baby, before the timeline, before all the boxes get checked. Press play if you're ready to trade hustle for healing and make space for a miracle. “The answer to our fertility crisis isn’t more IVF. It’s more rest, more presence, more truth.” Timestamps [01:17] Jenna shares her story of painful periods, PCOS, the birth control pill, and her healing journey. [04:37] How disconnection from your natural cycle silences your intuition. [07:45] Age, fear, the myth of the fertility cliff, and why control and timelines are sabotaging your fertility. [13:10] How modern life and everyday chemicals disrupt our hormones and fertility. [16:34] The hard truth about overdoing, overworking, and the disconnect from your essence. [19:00] Understanding why connection and presence matter more than performance. [22:30] How to get radically honest with yourself and create space your future baby can feel. [24:39] The deeper reason your baby might be waiting to come through. “If you're not ovulating, you’re disconnected from your intuition and the source.” Full Transcript on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/the-real-reason-ivf-isn-t-working-burnout-control-and-your-body-s-cry-for-rest [https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/the-real-reason-ivf-isn-t-working-burnout-control-and-your-body-s-cry-for-rest]  Connect with Jenna Longoria: * https://www.instagram.com/theperiodguru/ [https://www.instagram.com/theperiodguru/] * https://pages.jennalongoria.com/fertility-checklist/ [https://pages.jennalongoria.com/fertility-checklist/] Let's Do This Together 💚 Monica   Message me DREAMS to access your free Fertility Breakthrough Session: Email: monica@findingfertility.co [monica@findingfertility.co] [not .com 🤣] Instagram: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityIG [https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityIG]  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@findingfertility [https://www.youtube.com/@findingfertility] TikTok: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityTikTok [https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityTikTok]    🌺 Book Your Fertility Breakthrough Session Today here: https://calendly.com/findingfertility/discoveryconsultation?month=2022-10 [https://calendly.com/findingfertility/discoveryconsultation?month=2022-10]   🎙 Subscribe on your favourite podcast platform:⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Apple: http://bit.ly/FINDINGFERTILITYAPPLE⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ [http://bit.ly/FINDINGFERTILITYAPPLE%E2%81%A3%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A3%E2%81%A3%E2%81%A3] Stitcher: http://bit.ly/FindingFertilitySTITCHER [http://bit.ly/FindingFertilitySTITCHER] Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0BMtwCvdyR4aJyfSfcKh6i [https://open.spotify.com/show/0BMtwCvdyR4aJyfSfcKh6i]   🍍HELP SUPPORT THE SHOW🍍 You can shop for your favourite fertility support products over on: Seeking Health:https://bit.ly/FFSeekingHealth [https://bit.ly/FFSeekingHealth] & Amazon:http://bit.ly/FindingFertilityAmazon [http://bit.ly/FindingFertilityAmazon]  🍍   Anything written or said about health and diet are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, through trial and error, study, reading, listening and observing.
