Send a textI am extremely passionate about fertility and fertility awareness and would love to bring greater awareness around the subject and so I  am undertaking a special series within my podcast around fertility. Part 1 | Fertility and the Mindset In the first of my fertility series, I invited Becky Ackerman a fertility mindset coach who specialises in helping women struggling with infertility feel calm and confident while naturally increasing their chances of pregnancy. Navigating pregnancy announcements and baby showers can be immensely challenging if you are struggling with infertility, and within this episode, we aim to focus on how some of the challenges can be tackled as well discussing some really important topics such as unexplained infertility, secondary infertility and what could be implemented to help support oneself through fertility challenges.

Send a textOk three vastly different topics but this week I wanted to talk a little bit about  PMS and PMDD because I don't think they are widely enough discussed. Also how crazy is it planning a birthday party for a one-year-old?I also got the opportunity to rant about the water system, I know a bit of a strange topic but it all ties in because I've been struggling with headaches lately and with all the press about sewage leaks, I'm beginning to wonder if it's linked... I know it sounds like a conspiracy theory!I also go a little mad talking about all the ways I have tried to become eco-friendly around the house. Work-Life BalanceIf you would like to contribute, comment or provide general feedback you can contact me at the below email or find me on social media:Email: [email protected]:  work_life_balance_podTiktok: work_life_balance_podFacebook: Work Life Balance
