As this year comes to a close, many people on a fertility journey reach a painful realization: a positive pregnancy test before the end of the year just isn’t possible. That moment can bring grief, frustration, and a sense of hopelessness, or even the thought of “Why even keep trying?” If you’ve been feeling stuck, discouraged, or unsure how to move forward, this episode is for you.

2025 has felt especially heavy for so many, filled with loss, uncertainty, and experiences that pushed people to their limits. While we can’t change what this year held, we do have choice in how we prepare for what’s next. In this episode of The Brilliant Fertility Podcast, I share three gentle, powerful steps to help you clear physical, emotional, and energetic space as you intentionally prepare for 2026. This is not about forcing positivity—it’s about honoring what you’ve been through and creating room for healing, hope, and fertility.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✨ How Year-End Fertility Pressure Affects the Nervous System: I explore why the realization that “this year is off the table” can impact motivation, self-care, and emotional resilience during infertility.

✨ Why 2025 Felt So Hard & How to Release It: We talk about collective heaviness, grief, and the sense of shedding that many experienced this year, and how you can consciously move forward.

✨ Step One: Clearing Physical Space to Create Fertility Flow: I explain how organizing and decluttering—even ONE small space—can shift stagnant energy, reduce overwhelm, and support hormonal and emotional balance.

✨ Step Two: Letting Go of What No Longer Serves You: Through journaling and reflection, I guide you to identify beliefs, habits, and emotions you’re ready to leave behind as you close out 2025.

✨ Step Three: Designing Your Ideal 2026: I invite you to imagine what you want—sensory details included—while noticing fears, resistance, or subconscious beliefs that arise around pregnancy and joy.

✨ Understanding Subconscious Beliefs in Infertility: We discuss how unspoken fears, medical trauma, and scarcity thinking quietly shape fertility outcomes—and how awareness is the first step to release.

✨ The Role of Intuition and Safety in Conception: I share why intuition, nervous system support, and feeling safe in your body are essential foundations for fertility and healing.

This episode is a sticky one and an important one. I’m exploring the rising rates of infertility we’re seeing globally, what might be contributing to this shift, and most importantly, the steps we can take to protect our fertility, our environment, and our sense of hope.

There’s a mix of existential anxiety and empowerment woven into this conversation, because that’s exactly where so many of us live on the fertility journey.

My intention, as always, is that you leave feeling more grounded, more informed, and more connected… both to your body and to our shared humanity.

Education on EPA Registration of Forever Chemical Pesticide

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✨ Why infertility rates are rising worldwide: I walk through the updated data (from 1 in 8 to nearly 1 in 6), what this means for fertility awareness, and how this shift shows up for real people on their TTC journey.

✨ How environmental toxins impact conception: We explore PFAS “forever chemicals,” pesticide exposure, clean water, nutrient-dense food, and how environmental health directly affects egg quality, sperm health, hormone balance, and long-term fertility outcomes.

✨ The emotional toll of living in an overwhelming world: I talk about navigating doom-and-gloom headlines, how the nervous system contracts under stress, and why taking breaks from the news can be a powerful fertility support tool.

✨ New technologies, AI, and the fear of the unknown: A gentle dive into artificial intelligence, planetary resources, and why so many of us feel unsettled…and how to hold that tension without shutting down.

✨ What you can do to support your fertility (even when the world feels heavy): From conscious environmental choices to community, mindfulness, detox support, and regulating your nervous system - the small but meaningful steps that truly matter.

Even though some of these topics feel big, heavy, or existential, you are not powerless. You are not alone. And you were never meant to do this journey in isolation. The babies coming through right now are wise, intentional souls. They are choosing you! They are choosing this moment in history for a reason, even if it makes no logical sense to us at the moment.

If you need real human connection after this episode, I’m here. You can always send me a DM or reply to the email you got about this episode. Sending you so much love, strength, and hope as you navigate your fertility journey. 💛

This time of year brings up so many feelings…some joyful, and some overwhelming. And for those who are TTC, the end-of-year fertility anxiety can really sneak in. In this episode, I talk about the pressure December can create, why time feels so emotional on a fertility journey, and how to reconnect with trust, intuition, and your own inner knowing when everything feels “behind schedule.”

I’m sharing a personal story from my own TTC experience, as well as the beautiful pregnancies, miracles, and transformations happening inside the Brilliant Fertility community. My hope is that this episode gives you more than comfort — that it gives you a felt sense of possibility, hope, and relief.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✨ Why the final month of the year can trigger fertility anxiety: Discover the psychology behind timelines, comparison, and the pressure we put on ourselves when December rolls around during the TTC journey.

✨ My own story of conceiving after a hard year: I share what it felt like to face a December without a positive test — and how I eventually conceived after releasing pressure and reconnecting with trust.

✨ Real fertility success stories from this season: Hear stories about pregnancy after loss, thyroid issues, and long timelines — and what helped shift their journey.

✨ The role of intuition and nervous system regulation in conception: Learn how connecting with your body, listening to your inner voice, and calling in your baby’s spirit can support your conception journey.

✨ Why consistency matters more than perfection: Understand how nutrition, sleep, acupuncture, thyroid support, vitamin D, and emotional wellbeing work cumulatively — not instantly — and why the “small things” matter.

Even if this month feels heavy, uncertain, or full of grief, you are not behind. Your body is not behind. Your timeline is not wrong. There is room for hope, healing, and magic. Stay consistent with the things that support you, give yourself grace, and remember that so much can change in the course of a few months.

If you feel called to go deeper, you can schedule a discovery call with me, explore the Brilliant Fertility Program, or simply stay connected for new offerings coming next year. Sending you so much love this December. ❤️
