Show Notes

Every person faces a unique set of challenges, mental, emotional, physical, and situational when struggling to get pregnant. When undergoing infertility, stress levels have been shown to be the same as someone who is going through AIDS, Cancer and Heart Disease. In today's episode, I interview Rena Gower, a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) and Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. Today we discuss all things mindset and dive into everything from how to successfully communicate with loved ones, when to seek additional support, how to navigate big feelings of jealousy and envy and much more. I hope you enjoy the show.
