Demi said she’s scared of what fertility medications will do to her mental health — and I couldn’t scroll past this without responding. 🤍
Because she is absolutely right to be concerned. And so are you.
Here’s what most fertility clinics won’t tell you:
Women going through infertility experience anxiety and depression at rates comparable to a cancer diagnosis.
1 in 2 women say it’s the most stressful experience of their entire lives — more than job loss, more than divorce.
And research shows that women who receive mental health support during treatment have higher success rates and are less likely to stop treatment early.
Your mental health is not separate from your fertility journey. It is part of it.
I know this because I lived it. I sat exactly where you might be sitting right now — terrified, exhausted, and completely unsupported emotionally. That journey is what led me to become a licensed mental health professional and fertility emotional wellness coach.
And it’s why I built a 6-week program to take women from barely surviving their fertility journey… to emotionally thriving through it.
100% client satisfaction. No fluff. Just real support from someone who has been in the trenches and knows the way out.
If Demi’s words stopped you today — this was meant for you.

You are not alone. And you don’t have to do this alone. 🤍

Here’s the obvious and not-so-obvious 👇
Obvious:
Let me reiterate this for those in the back:
Don’t ask women if they’re pregnant or not. Whether they’re not drinking or if you think you see a little bump.
Postpartum, especially after twins, can severely impact your body. I don’t want people to point out that I still look pregnant.
Not so obvious:
This also made me reflect on my body’s journey and others undergoing fertility treatments. You can see in my linked reel how my body (and many others) responded to the treatments. I was bloated and gained some weight.
If I had been asked if I was pregnant at that time, at the peak of my efforts to conceive, I would have been devastated. It would have been a reminder of the negative aspects of fertility treatment, yet I still didn’t have a baby.
Have you ever been asked the dreaded question? How did you respond? How did it affect you? How did you cope?

It’s hard to put into words what these past 3 months have meant to me 🤍
After everything… the waiting, the uncertainty, the heartbreak, the moments where I questioned if this would ever be my story, one of motherhood despite infertility, we are finally here, our family complete.
There is a kind of gratitude that only comes from walking through infertility. A depth. A softness. A knowing of just how much this moment means. I don’t take a single second for granted.
I also want to acknowledge that if you’re still on your journey, this might be hard to see. I remember what that felt like, and I never want to share something like this without honoring that reality too.
If that’s you, I see you. I’m holding space for you.
I hope, more than anything, that this can be a small reminder that different outcomes are possible… and that your story is still unfolding.
Sending you so much love 🤍
I ain’t f*cking with you…🤣

Let’s f*ck with ppl who get it!
Is it normal to delay telling people you’re pregnant after a miscarriage?
Absolutely. A thousand times yes. And I’ve done that too.
When you’ve lived through loss, your body might be pregnant again…
but your heart often needs more time to catch up.
It’s normal to feel overly cautious.
It’s normal to worry more than you want to.
It’s normal to hold your news close until you feel emotionally safe.
You’re not being dramatic.
You’re not being negative.
You’re protecting your peace — and that is valid.
But just because it’s normal…
doesn’t mean you have to navigate this part alone.
There is support to make this phase feel lighter, steadier, and less overwhelming. Inside Fertility Mindset Metamorphosis, I help you build the emotional tools to move through pregnancy after loss (or any step of your fertility journey) with more calm, confidence, and grounding.

😳My jaw hit the floor with this one..
👯IDENTICAL TWINS!👯
The chances of my embryo splitting were about 1%, but somehow it happened.
The crazy thing is this exact thing happened to a very good friend of mine with the same doctor about 2 years ago and she was the last person this happened to since me. The universe can be so mysterious!
What came was an unexpected set of emotions. We had only planned for one more , so initially I felt very overwhelmed with the thought of twins and 2 year old. But damn we had to go through so much to get here that of course any pregnancy was a blessing, much less two.
And while twins is often something many IVF couples dream of (including myself at certain points of my infertility journey) the reality is that they do come with a significantly higher risk of complications.
And it was this reason that I’m behind on updating you all in real time of where I’m at with my journey to baby 2 (now 3!). I’ll be sharing all the highs and lows of this twin pregnancy with you all in due time.

That first ultrasound after loss…
it’s a mix of hope and pure fear.
I remember walking into the room trying to steady my breath, telling myself to stay calm. But the truth? I was terrified. My hands were trembling, my heart was racing, and my mind wouldn’t stop replaying the “what ifs.”
No one prepares you for how trauma can follow you into the moments you want to feel joyful. You want to believe this time will be different — but your body remembers.
If this is you right now, I want you to know that you’re not broken for feeling scared. You’re simply human. But there are real tools to make this experience easier. For you to find peace despite the past.
✨ Comment PEACE below to move from barely surviving to emotionally thriving in 3 steps with my newest support program, with only a few spots available! I’m here for you and there is light if you let it in.

After months of waiting and mock cycles for the lining to be right , we made it!
Why did it take so long?? My doctor believes since I am post menopausal, my lining wasn’t used to responding to estrogen, and essentially “forgot” what to do. She thought it just needed repeated exposures and would respond over time, which she was right. Although it was hard to wait and I had to fight off doubt I would make it here , sometimes this is the way the IVF journey goes. Bumps along the way are often part of the process , but there are some key tools myself and clients of mine use to stay resilient throughout. ❤️
We made the decision to do a fresh embryo transfer and are hopeful we will have some great embryos by transfer day!
Now I get to add in the fun part… PIO shots ! 💉
But luckily I made a podcast with all about injections!!
