Home insemination is becoming an increasingly popular route to parenthood for single women and couples using donor sperm, but it is not always straightforward and there is a lot of conflicting information out there. In this episode, we are joined by Rachel Mackay, founder of Tily Blooms, who has designed a home insemination kit specifically to make the process safer, more comfortable and more effective.

In this episode, we cover:

• Who home insemination might be a good option for, and when it may not be suitable
• The practical and emotional challenges people commonly encounter when trying to conceive at home
• How Rachel's kit has been designed to address these issues
• Timing, hygiene, and the small details that can make a meaningful difference to success rates
• What to expect from the process, from start to finish

Whether you are just beginning to explore your options or are already on this path and want to make sure you are doing everything you can to support your chances, this conversation offers practical, honest guidance from someone who has built her career around solving this exact problem.

If you've ever felt like your body is working against you on your fertility journey, this episode might be the missing piece.

Rachel sits down with Laetitia Felix, fertility and pregnancy coach, mind-body practitioner, and founder of Mindset Body and Soul, to talk about something that doesn't get nearly enough airtime: your nervous system.

We get into Laetitia's own personal experience, what she sees showing up again and again in her clients, and how chronic stress and unprocessed loss can keep your body stuck in fight or flight and why that matters.

We cover:

• Why the nervous system plays such a central role in fertility and loss
• The signs your body might be stuck in survival mode
• How Laetitia works with clients to shift from fight or flight into rest and digest
• The mind-body connection

Whether you're in the middle of treatment, navigating loss, or just starting out, this one's worth a listen.

TTC and been told you need IVF but you're not sure you're ready? You have more options than you might think. In this episode, I'm joined by Marija Skujuna from Plan Your Baby to talk about monitored cycles and ovulation induction: what they actually are, who they could help, and why they might be the step that changes everything before you ever set foot in an IVF clinic.

This Episode Is for You If…

• You've been told IVF is your next step but you want to explore other options first
• You're TTC and feel like you're not getting enough information or support from your current care
• You've been trying for a while with irregular cycles or suspected ovulation issues
• You want to understand what's actually happening in your body before committing to a treatment plan
• You feel overwhelmed by IVF and want a more gentle, monitored approach first

Marija Skujuna is a fertility specialist and the founder of Plan Your Baby, a clinic dedicated to supporting women through their conception journey with monitored cycles, ovulation induction, and personalised fertility care. Plan Your Baby's approach is built around working with each patient's individual cycle, not applying a blanket protocol.
