For your fertility journey, it's time to get fearless, baby fearlessly fertile. Let's do this. Welcome to the Fearlessly Fertile podcast, episode 62, fertility and faith. Nope. Hey loves. Oh man. I am absolutely thrilled that we are starting this series on faith. This is a conversation that has been on my heart for a long time. And part of my own faith was believing that I would get to it in divine timing. As we get started, I wanted to make a few things clear because this topic can be a tricky one, if you aren't 100 percent clear about the ground rules. If you've read my book or have been following my podcast for some time, you know that when it comes to the topic of faith, I am not here to proselytize any specific set of religious or spiritual beliefs. I come from the perspective that the relationship you have with your higher power is a deeply personal one. I am all about relationship, not religion. Now, that doesn't mean I poo poo religion, not at all. I simply live by the credo, you do you. Our discussion here is going to revolve around my own evolution with faith because my fertility journey, unlike any other challenge in my life, brought it to the forefront. In a way that was unique and frankly demanded my attention. It was like having someone shouting in my face with spittle flying everywhere saying, woman, you can't fucking ignore me anymore. I may have been a little slow on the uptake, but when the opportunity for expansion in this area of my life made itself known, I took that shit and ran. It's why today I describe myself as someone who has a deep and abiding faith. We'll get to all of that through this series, how I cultivated it, how I learned to deal with what looks like Gus, and when I say Gus, God, universe, source, you pick whatever word works for you, was giving me the finger and how I continue to build and explore this belief on a daily basis. Faith and belief. You know, it's a critical aspect of this journey because the fact is a constellation of things come together to get your baby here. It isn't just medicine. Anyone who has experienced what medicine calls a quote unquote perfect cycle where everything on the outside looks perfect. Your uterine lining is plush and cushy. Your follicles performed well, producing beautiful shiny eggs. Your hormone levels were wonderfully within range. Your transfer went off without a hitch. Your energy was good. You ate well and you were feeling strong and confident. Only to have a negative test knows this. In fact, if it just came down to medicine, we'd all get the right treatment and boom, one and done. We we'd have our babies. Anyone with half a brain knows that isn't always the case. There is an undeniable X factor here. Medicine, as amazing and wonderful as it is, can only take us so far. Any ethical practitioner will admit that, okay?
