Episode 070: Rising Rates of Infertility + What Steps We Can Take

This episode is a sticky one and an important one. I’m exploring the rising rates of infertility we’re seeing globally, what might be contributing to this shift, and most importantly, the steps we can take to protect our fertility, our environment, and our sense of hope.There’s a mix of existential anxiety and empowerment woven into this conversation, because that’s exactly where so many of us live on the fertility journey. My intention, as always, is that you leave feeling more grounded, more informed, and more connected… both to your body and to our shared humanity.Ready to go deeper?

You are not alone. And you were never meant to do this journey in isolation. The babies coming through right now are wise, intentional souls. They are choosing you! They are choosing this moment in history for a reason, even if it makes no logical sense to us at the moment.If you need real human connection after this episode, I’m here.
