I’ve had 5 miscarriages over the last 5 years and myself and my partner are planning to try and conceive again very soon. We’ve had some investigations done however it’s still unclear as to what may be causing the miscarriages (however it is possible that my immune system could be the cause). The first miscarriage …
My partner and I are trying to conceive. I found out last spring that I have polycystic ovaries and I was prescribed Letrozole to stimulate ovulation. Since I started the Letrozole treatment in November, I’ve ovulated twice, which is exciting. If I don’t get pregnant in the next few months though, my OBGYN is likely …
Hello, It was interesting to read another question about pregnancy as a goal, coming out of the Recalibrate and Activate workshop. I’ve likewise been hesitating about having a baby as a goal for this year – I’m on my own, and embarked on an IVF journey last year, and had no luck with 5 cycles. …

Hi I’m in very early pregnancy and feeling really anxious. I’ve tried sitting with my emotions and feeling how they come up. Also doing some thought downloads and using intentional thoughts like ‘this is possible for me’ ‘I trust my body knows what it’s doing’ but keep having thoughts that this won’t work for me …
So Im nearly 41, Ive been through quite a few years of what I would describe as torment in trying to figure out if I want to have a child or not. In my mid 30s I decided I really did and to slow down on a very stressful career and job (av 12 hours …
I suspect I have PMDD. I’ve been trying to log my cycles on and off for years. I have two children 1 & 4 year old, with a pregnancy loss in-between. For the past 5 years, I’ve been pregnant, postpartum or breastfeeding. Therefore very few bleeds, making it more tricky to track. I have started …
I’ve just finished the Recalibrate and Activate workshop and one of the goals that first came to mind was to conceive a healthy baby in 2023. At first, I steered away from that as I had a thought that conceiving a baby is not something I have control over – the story that supports this …
I’m trying to decide whether to go ahead with my first round of IVF, which is booked in for January, or delay it by a month. I already have one child but we have struggled to conceive a second. I am about to turn 42, and given my age feel like I need to get …
Hello lovely coaches, I have not made any progress yet towards my Autumn goal, which was to be kinder and more loving towards myself (more specifically, to stop being so angry at myself). I fall into anger at myself so easily, and it’s something I’ve been working on in therapy for a few years now. There …
Hello, One challenge coming up for me this holiday season is facing all of the messy feelings associated with my sister coming home to Australia from Germany with her new husband, and one year old baby. I’m 39, on my own after leaving a difficult relationship several years ago, and have no children – though …
My partner and I keep thinking/talking about trying for a family. This has been a desire for us both since before we were married but we married young at 23 and have focused on careers/saving for a house/other fun things etc. I am turning 30 next year and aware of the biological clock. We have …
Hi there coaches, I am 37 and currently I am caring for my Mum who has terminal cancer. I also cared for my Dad who had a terminal illness in my early 30’s. I am happily married and my husband and I have both been ambivalent to having kids, leaving it to nature and allowing …
Hello lovely coaches, I am going into my next try at ICSI in my next cycle and am finding myself feeling a lot of pressure. My thoughts revolve around: This has to work. This is our last chance. I need to get out of my head. I want to be pregnant and want it to …
Thanks again for the coaching on this. It’s really helpful to acknowledge the shift I’ve achieved and how quickly I was able to achieve it. And also to reflect on how I did this, which I think boils down to being open – to experiencing everything that Anna’s life and death has brought me, to …
Thank you for your response. I’ve felt like there’s a lot of uncertainty in my life at the moment, particularly when I submitted the question, I’ve felt quite lost this past few months. But what you’re saying makes so much sense and how I should be approaching things. Being specific is more digestible, more doable. …
Thank you for your response. It’s helpful to see the effect of shame and that the result is that I’m punishing myself. I can also see that having a medical explanation, supported by my identifying a possible source of infection, has provided some clarity and comfort for my brain. Before the post mortem results I …
Hello lovely coaches, Things have been rough and the thoughts going through my brain keep going back to “I can’t cope, I can’t take much more, I’m so alone, what else is going to be thrown at me” etc. In the last ten days of august: I hurt myself badly falling down the stairs, I …
Inspired by the Finding Peace After Pregnancy Loss call, I’ve started taking a look at my thoughts around losing my daughter Anna. The first area that I want to look at is blaming myself. Anna was stillborn as a result of congenital toxoplasmosis. From my bloodwork in early pregnancy compared to at her birth, we …
Hello, I’m seeking support with making some changes to my sleep patterns – going to bed earlier, getting up earlier and getting more sleep overall – effectively, and from a loving rather than critical place. Going to bed earlier (and getting up earlier, and getting more sleep) are all fundamentals to me, and are ‘rocks’ …
Thanks for such a helpful response. I’ve reflected on the questions you asked and felt a positive shift. I’m working on these two intentional models and would appreciate any further thoughts. C: My thought “What about Anna?” T: Of course I’m thinking that F: Acceptance A: Acknowledge that I’m checking in on our relationship; accept …
Listening to the podcast episode this morning about a sense of completion (and in the end of summer review) I had something come up that I’d like some coaching on. When I think about what feels complete for me, it’s the time I’ve spent with a focus on conception, pregnancy, breastfeeding etc. – and my …
I’ve needed time to reflect on your brilliant coaching. And when talking to my partner, we decided that we would continue for the rest of the year actively ttc, and then if it doesn’t happen by January we’ll re-assess. This way I get out of the decision limbo rut and force myself to see what …
Hi there, I would really appreciate some input and coaching… My boyfriend and I are trying to conceive for almost a year now, I feel like I’m getting impatient and frustrated in the process and it’s affecting too much of my life. I have PCOS with long & irregular cycles, therefore ovulation is rare and …

I have been struggling with the decision about whether to start trying to conceive again after a miscarriage 3 years ago. All of the workshop things are helping me to stop avoiding the decision and if I had to take no action my decision is yes I already know I want this. But I’m 39 …
I have been ttc for 3 years. I have had many tests, tried everything from acupuncture, reflexology, therapy, investigations with laparoscopy, finally seeing a nutritionist who has also prescribed herbs etc. It is a hard road, i have turned a corner with being aware of my thoughts however feel like i am in a constant …
I’m the CEO of a charity and have been in my job for over 10 years. I’ve achieved some success but until a couple of years ago my approach was very much about hustling, putting in all the hours, working hard all the time, expecting consistency from myself, perfectionism, and people pleasing. Just over two …
Hello coaches, Here we go… I feel very stuck, in that I have constrained my desire to have a healthy relationship with my cycle by implementing the use of hormonal birth control methods that I truly do not want.

Hello! I am reaching out for some new perspectives on how to approach a sticky pattern around food timing that is meaning I persistently put my body into hypoglycaemia.

Thank you so much for the prompts. Here is what I came up with: My thoughts about my feeling detached from my body, my nervous system shutting down, and experiencing emotions in small installments are… T: This is probably my body’s and nervous systems’s self-defense mechanism as they know that these emotions are raw and …
Dear team, I am currently trying to recover from my third miscarriage within the past ~3 years, and I am having a really hard time trusting my body again.
