Welcome to the Fearlessly Fertile podcast, episode 85. Are we the reason I'm not getting pregnant? Hey mama, I am super excited to be here with you this week, particularly because we are going to be taking up a subject that is particularly close to my heart these days. And I have a new book coming out about it. My love, we are talking about relationships, this journey, and the impact your relationship may be having on your path to fertility success. It's all related, baby. Part of covering your bases, mind and body on this journey so you don't look back on it with regret is getting your mind right about your relationship.

Meditate till I levitate like a fucking monk. And I've got to look at my relationship on top of all that? Well, my love, my answer to that question is a big fat hell yes. Yes, doll. If you want to live the life you've always dreamed of, baby and all, you gotta do it. This is you taking a stand for more than just crumbs on this journey. You get to have the whole goddamn cake. No one else is going to get it for you. So you got to do it. And let's, so let's go back to my previous thought. Where do we start with all of this?
