While I’m on maternity leave, I wanted to share something a little different. A few weeks ago, I was interviewed on the Elevate HER podcast and we went deep, not just into health, but into the parts of my story that shaped the work I do today.

When the world feels chaotic, uncertain, or heavy, it’s easy to slip into avoidance. To numb. To disconnect. To slowly abandon yourself. So in this short pep talk, I’m reminding you of something important: you may not be able to control what’s happening around you, but you can control how you show up for yourself. Your health- mentally, physically, emotionally, is not something to put on the back burner when life feels hard. It’s the very thing that grounds you through it. This episode is a reminder to choose care over self-destruction and to come back to yourself when everything else feels out of control. Do you feel like your metabolism has slowed down?

We did the testing. We asked the questions. And when no clear answers came back, we knew “unexplained infertility” wasn’t the full picture. We talk openly about: This isn’t a protocol, or a one-size-fits-all solution, but an honest conversation about advocating for your health when the odds feel stacked against you.
