“If you don't feel safe, and you're in a state of fear, you're going to have cortisol overdrive.”


Hello, beautiful Monica here! And oh honey, buckle up, because today we’re diving into the emotional jungle gym that is your fertility journey. Spoiler alert: it’s not just about diet, supplements, and fancy med protocols. Sometimes, the real block is you not using your damn voice. Yep, we said it.


In this raw and revelatory episode, we sit down with a brave soul who has been through more fertility treatments than anyone should ever have to endure (we're talking double digits, people). But the real kicker? She hadn’t been speaking up—for her body, her emotions, her intuition. And let’s be real, when your husband is channeling all the Type A, competitive, masculine energy, it’s no surprise your inner child is quietly rocking in a corner whispering, “Please don’t fight.”


We talk about burping (yes, burping) and how it's somehow the digestive version of not using your voice—seriously, who knew your gut could get passive-aggressive too? We unravel people-pleasing, perfectionism, and the childhood moments that had you hustling for love and safety. Monica walks her guest through a transformational subconscious technique that had her feeling chills—in the best possible way. And just when you think you’ve heard it all, we go full metaphysical with past life patterns and inner child work. Because why not?


So if you’ve been quietly nodding along with society’s rules while screaming inside, this one’s your wake-up call. Spoiler: the more you people-please, the longer you stay in fertility hell. Let’s change that.


“You attract what you're vibing on.”
