Ep 25: Strength & Self Compassion - Mindset Lessons from Running & the Fertility Journey, with Dr. Erica Bove

Running and the fertility journey may seem like two different paths, but both require resilience, patience, and a strong mindset. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Erica Bove, a double board-certified OB-GYN and Reproductive Endocrinologist, as well as the founder of Love and Science: Thriving Through Infertility. Together, we explore the parallels between endurance running and navigating fertility challenges - highlighting the importance of self-compassion, mental strength, and trusting the process. Dr. Bove shares her unique perspective on blending evidence-based medicine with intuitive knowing, offering insights to help women move through their fertility journey with confidence. Whether you're a runner, on a fertility journey, or simply looking for ways to cultivate a resilient mindset, this conversation is filled with wisdom, support, and inspiration. Tune in to learn how the principles of running - pacing yourself, listening to your body, and embracing the journey - can also apply to life’s most personal challenges.
