What if there is no "right" way to do IVF—only the way that is right for you?

IVF can be an incredibly information-heavy experience.

There are protocols to understand, decisions to make, statistics to consider, doctors to listen to, opinions to navigate, and endless possibilities to research.

But somewhere in all that information, many women lose touch with the most important voice in the room: Their own.

In this episode I’m joined by my friend Elena Lipson, an intuition and self-trust coach, for a deeply meaningful conversation about what it means to trust yourself during IVF.

We explore the question so many women quietly ask:

"How do I know what's right for me?"

Elena offers a beautiful reframe: rather than searching for the universally "right" or "wrong" decision, we can learn to develop our own inner authority—the ability to take in information, listen to ourselves, and make choices that feel aligned with our individual path.

And this is especially powerful during IVF, when the stakes can feel enormous.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

· Why IVF can make it so difficult to trust yourself

· The difference between "What is right?" and "What is right for me?"

· How to recognize your intuition

· Why stress can disconnect you from your intuition

· The pressure to "get IVF right"

· The power of slowing down

· Why self-trust doesn't mean doing it alone

One of my favorite parts of this conversation is our reminder that trusting yourself doesn't mean becoming an island. We need support, loving people, and a team that can help us carry what feels heavy.

What if one of the most powerful things you could do during IVF had nothing to do with another supplement, another protocol, or another appointment?

In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with psychic medium, energy alchemist, and entrepreneur Brittney Carmichael to explore the role of self-love, joy, nervous system safety, and energetic healing while navigating life's biggest uncertainties—including fertility. She shares her perspective on preparing the body and soul for life's biggest dreams, cultivating safety and joy in the midst of uncertainty, and why healing ourselves is one of the greatest gifts we can offer—whether we're building a business, creating a meaningful life, or walking the deeply personal path of fertility.

Although Brittney hasn't personally experienced IVF, her decades of guiding women through healing journeys offer a fresh perspective on what it means to prepare your body, heart, and spirit to receive what you're calling in.

Together, we discuss how manifestation can be empowering without becoming another source of pressure, why healing isn't about perfection, and how reconnecting with yourself may be one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself throughout your fertility journey.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why self-love is foundational during IVF—not something that waits until motherhood

• How nervous system safety influences your emotional well-being throughout fertility treatment

• The difference between trying to control your IVF journey versus co-creating with it

• Why joy, play, and pleasure deserve a place in your fertility journey

• The role of energetic healing, intuition, and releasing old beliefs

• How manifestation can support your fertility journey without creating guilt or blame

• Brittney's SHIFT framework for navigating uncertainty and personal transformation

• Why preparing your vessel emotionally is just as important as preparing physically

• Practical ways to reconnect with yourself when IVF feels like it's consuming your life

What if your fertility journey isn’t your whole story?

In this episode, I’m joined by Speaker, Storytelling Coach, and author Alex Street for a conversation that completely reframes how we think about struggle, healing, identity, and transformation.

Alex believes that your story is your superpower—and together we explore what it means to move beyond defining ourselves by one painful chapter and instead begin seeing our lives through the lens of growth, meaning, and possibility.

This conversation felt especially powerful because while Alex doesn’t come from the fertility world, his work helping people uncover and own their story connects deeply to what so many women navigating IVF and infertility experience.

We talk about how our hardest moments do not become our identity.

Instead, they become part of something bigger.

If you’ve ever felt consumed by waiting, grief, uncertainty, or the pressure of fertility treatments, this episode offers a different perspective: your story is not the struggle itself—it’s the transformation happening through it.

Inside this episode, we explore:
✨ Why your story is more than your fertility journey
✨ How to move from confusion toward clarity
✨ Why transformation matters more than timelines
✨ The difference between honoring pain vs. becoming consumed by it
✨ How storytelling can support healing and identity shifts
✨ Journaling prompts to reconnect with yourself
✨ Finding peace and possibility even in difficult seasons
✨ Why your story is first for YOU before anyone else

One of my favorite reminders from Alex:
“Your story isn’t the moment. Your story is the transformation.”

If you’re walking through IVF, infertility, grief, waiting, or simply becoming someone new through life’s unexpected turns—I hope this conversation reminds you that this chapter is not your whole book.
