Description:

We’re diving into how perfectionism and emotional stress can affect fertility - and why letting go might be the key when you're trying to conceive.

If you’ve been diagnosed with Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR), Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI), or Poor Egg Quality—and you tend to over-research, overanalyze, or feel like you need to “do everything right”—this episode is for you.

We’re diving into how perfectionism may be quietly impacting your fertility. Chronic stress, control, and the constant pressure to get it all right can take a toll on your hormones, disrupt ovulation, and affect egg quality. You’ll learn how high cortisol levels and nervous system dysregulation keep your body stuck in survival mode—and what to do instead.

We share powerful mindset shifts, nervous system regulation tools, and practical steps from our Fab Fertile Method to help you reduce overwhelm, restore balance, and reconnect with your body.

Whether you're planning for IVF, navigating loss, or just feeling stuck, this episode will give you the insight and tools to move forward with more calm, clarity, and confidence.
