Have you ever felt that your fertility journey is longer than you thought it would be? Or like you didn't realize how much inner strength and resilience you would need to keep showing up every day as a physician patient? My patients and clients know that I mark off the steps of an IVF journey like miles in a race. I see so many parallels between long distance running and the wisdom we need to make it through the fertility journey--loved, supported, and in tact. Today Dr. Quirk (a certified running coach) and I discuss the following:How to connect with your Deepest Why and revisit it oftenHow to find motivation when progress feels slowMantras and mindset shifts to refocus the mind Mindfulness, and finding joy along the wayDon't miss this high yield episode.
