A new month doesn't always feel like a fresh start

A new month doesn’t always feel like a fresh start when you’re trying to conceive. September can mean another cycle to track, appointments to plan, supplements to remember, and emotions to navigate—and you don’t have to greet it feeling hopeful, organised, or excited.In this gentle episode of *The Daily Try*, Lara offers reassurance that you’re allowed to meet the month exactly as you are: tired, angry, hopeful, numb, practical, or somewhere in between. Instead of putting pressure on yourself to make big changes or believe “this is your month,” consider taking things one step at a time and choosing something small that supports *you*.Lara shares her own new workout habit, reminds you that self-care doesn’t have to mean becoming a whole new person, and guides you through a simple square breathing exercise to help calm those overwhelming or “meh” moments.Whatever September holds, you don’t have to have it all figured out today. Take a deep breath, be kind to yourself, and begin wherever you are.For more support, check out my ⁠Monthly Fertility Snail Mail letter subscription ⁠
