071. At 41 years old, Orla was faced with a devastating reality: three different doctors had told her that conceiving naturally was an impossibility. In this episode, Orla shares her incredible journey of defying those medical odds and the emotional resilience required to keep going when the experts have counted you out. We discuss the mindset shift she underwent after receiving her "no’s," the holistic steps she took to support her fertility, and the moment she realized that the medical diagnosis wasn't the final word on her story. Orla’s experience is a powerful testament to the importance of listening to your own body and seeking out the "yes" even in the face of discouraging data.The conversation dives into the joy and anxiety of a natural pregnancy at 41, especially after being labeled as "infertile" by the medical community.
