Let’s be real for a second.

Trying to conceive can be absolutely bloody exhausting.
Not just emotionally, but on a whole-body, nervous-system, running-on-fumes level.

In this episode of The Wilde Way, we’re talking about why trying for a baby can feel so draining, even when you’re “coping”, doing all the right things, and holding it together on the outside.

Because TTC isn’t just about tracking cycles and timing sex.
It’s the waiting.
The hoping.
The bracing.
The monthly emotional gymnastics.
That quiet urgency humming away in the background like a dodgy fridge you can’t ignore.

And yep, your body feels that.

In this episode, I unpack why urgency and waiting don’t just live in your head, but in your nervous system, and why nervous system regulation isn’t some fluffy wellness add-on for fertility. It’s actually pretty central to how supported and safe your body feels while you’re doing this.

I also share a bit of my own recent wake-up call around depletion, burnout, postpartum recovery, and what happens when a body has been giving for a long time and finally goes, “Okay… that’s enough now.”

Inside the episode, we chat about:

• Why trying to conceive often becomes a full-body state of vigilance
• How urgency and pressure impact your nervous system and fertility
• Why your body may shift into protection mode when it’s been under strain
• The difference between hope and urgency (and why they’re not the same thing)
• Why “just relax” is trash advice and can honestly get in the bin
• Five practical, doable ways to regulate your nervous system
• Why rest, rhythm, and safety matter more than trying harder

This episode is for the woman who’s been giving a lot.
Holding a lot.
And quietly wondering why she feels so bloody tired.

You’re not broken.
Your body isn’t failing you.
It’s communicating.

If you’re on a fertility journey and feeling pressure around age, time, low AMH, or the sense that you need to “figure this out now,” this episode is for you.

In this solo episode, I share the six things I wish I’d known about fertility when I was 38 and deeply afraid I was running out of time. Now at 43, I reflect on how age fear quietly drives urgency, rushed decisions, and burnout — especially when IVF enters the conversation.

This episode is not anti-IVF. I’ve done IVF. It gave me my son. But it is a truth-telling conversation about timing, nervous system safety, advocacy, and why slowing down can sometimes be the most powerful move forward.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why feeling urgent doesn’t mean time is actually running out
• How age fear and AMH anxiety compress decision-making
• IVF as a powerful tool — not a race you have to enter immediately
• Why fertility doesn’t live in your ovaries alone
• The importance of advocating for your body and asking better questions
• Why calm is a biological requirement for fertility
• How simplifying your approach can often move the needle more than doing everything at once

Alright lovely, let’s talk about the phrase that makes my left eye twitch.

“Unexplained infertility.”

If you’ve been told everything looks normal
If you’ve done the tests, the supplements, the IVF cycles
If you’ve quietly wondered if it’s you that’s broken

This episode is for you.

Today on The Wilde Way, I’m joined by Gabriela Rosa, globally recognised fertility specialist, Harvard Doctor of Public Health candidate, and one of the sharpest minds in evidence-based fertility care.

And this is not a sugar-coated chat.

We unpack why unexplained infertility is often not unexplained at all, why more IVF cycles aren’t always the answer, and why so many women get stuck on the fertility hamster wheel being told to just “try again”.

Spoiler:
It’s not because you’re lazy, broken, or too old.
It’s usually because the right questions haven’t been asked yet.

This conversation is equal parts science, truth bombs, validation, and relief.
Less “just push harder”, more “let’s actually figure out what’s going on”.

What we cover

• Why unexplained infertility is one of the most misleading fertility diagnoses
• The real reasons IVF cycles fail, even when tests look “normal”
• Why doing more isn’t always better
• The role of inflammation, stress, metabolic health, and lifestyle
• Why sperm quality matters just as much as egg quality
• The difference between normal vs optimal fertility markers
• How genetics and epigenetics influence fertility outcomes

The big reframe

There is no simple solution to a complex fertility problem.
But when you slow down, zoom out, and look at the whole picture, things can shift.

This episode isn’t about blame.
It’s about clarity, agency, and better options.

This is a short New Year’s Eve episode for anyone who’s still waiting.

Waiting for a pregnancy.
Waiting for answers.
Waiting for life to look different.

New Year’s Eve can feel exciting and hopeful, but it can also feel heavy when you’re on a fertility journey. This episode isn’t a lesson, a list, or a plan. It’s a pause. A moment to breathe. And a reminder that you’re not doing this wrong.

In this solo episode, I share honestly about what New Year’s Eve felt like for me before I became a mum. The tension between hope and fear. The quiet panic around time passing. The backup plans we make just to feel safe. The guilt, the spiritual questions, and the deep desire to become a mother while still feeling scared to hope again.

We talk about:

• The emotional weight of New Year’s Eve when you’re still waiting
• Why hope can feel risky after a long fertility journey
• The pressure women put on themselves at this time of year
• Why your body doesn’t need more pressure, it needs more safety
• A gentle reflection on what you might want to leave behind and carry into the new year

If January feels heavy for you, this episode is here to remind you that nothing is wrong with you. You don’t need to decide anything tonight. You don’t need a word for the year. You don’t need a perfect plan.

As I move into 2026, I’ll be releasing the podcast fortnightly. It’s the rhythm that feels right for this season of work and mamahood, and it allows me to create these conversations with more intention and care.

You’re allowed to want this.
You’re allowed to be scared.
You’re allowed to hope carefully.
And you’re allowed to slow down.

Happy New Year, lovely. Wherever you are on your journey, I’m holding you in it.

This is a short, gentle Christmas Eve episode for anyone navigating fertility, hormones, or the quiet waiting that so often comes with the journey to mamahood.

In this solo episode, I’m not here to teach, fix, or overwhelm you with more info. I wanted to offer something softer. A pause. A moment of reflection. And five lessons I genuinely wish someone had whispered to me years earlier, when I was deep in my own fertility journey.

I share a personal story from December 2020, almost five years ago, when I wrote my very first preconception plan while lying on the beach, devouring fertility research, holding equal parts fear and fierce determination. That moment changed everything for me, even though I couldn’t see it at the time.

From there, I walk you through five lessons that shaped my healing, my mindset, and ultimately my path to motherhood. Lessons that I hope help you feel a little less alone, a little more grounded, and a little more trusting of your body today.

In this episode, we explore:
• Why your body is not your enemy and how symptoms are often protective signals
• What stress really means for fertility and why it’s not just emotional stress
• Why consistent, stabilising nourishment matters more than a “perfect” fertility diet
• How to release the feeling that you’re behind and trust your own timeline
• Why support is not a luxury on a fertility journey, it’s essential

This episode is especially for you if Christmas feels tender this year, if you’re holding hope quietly, or if you need a reminder that your story is still unfolding.

Take a breath. Let this be a gentle listen. And know that you’re doing so much better than you think.

Your period isn’t random.
Your symptoms aren’t “just how you are”.
And no, you absolutely do not have to just “deal with” PMS.

In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Sarah Gale, aka The Hormone Nutritionist, for a super real, super practical chat about what your body is trying to tell you every single month.

We get into spotting, cramps, bloating, acne, cravings, mood swings, PCOS, PMDD, ovulation, progesterone, inflammation, stress… all the things.
And honestly, once you understand how to read your cycle, everything changes.
You stop feeling confused or annoyed at your body, and start feeling connected to it.

This is 100 percent an episode you’ll want to save and probably send to every woman you love.

Inside the episode

• Why your symptoms are actually messages, not problems to ignore
• How to track your cycle without becoming obsessive
• Why this month’s period was shaped by the last three months
• What short or long cycles really mean
• Spotting before your period and when to pay attention
• Blood colour and texture decoded (yes, we go there)
• Painful periods and when it might point to endometriosis
• PCOS, blood sugar and insulin resistance
• Why you’re ravenous in the luteal phase
• PMS, irritability and anxiety through a hormone and nervous system lens
• Inflammation, gut health and how it shows up in your cycle
• Hair loss, low libido and postpartum shifts
• When to advocate for yourself and ask for deeper support

The big takeaway

Your cycle is basically a monthly health report.
Once you know how to read it, your body stops feeling like the enemy and starts becoming your guide.

Hey beauty. If you’ve ever been told your eggs are “too old,” your AMH is “too low,” or that time is running out… take a deep breath with me.

This episode clears up the biggest fertility myths keeping women scared and stuck — and shows you the truth about what actually shapes your egg health.
Spoiler: it’s not what you think. 💛🍑

We dive into:

• The wildly misunderstood truth about egg quality and age
• The truth about AMH, what it actually measures, and why low AMH does not equal poor egg quality or infertility
• The sneaky ways your everyday symptoms are actually trying to help you
• What your body is really doing when it’s stressed
• A simple framework that instantly explains your hormones, immune system and inflammation
• The surprising everyday habits that make egg quality better... or worse
• The breakfast mistakes that send your hormones into chaos before 9am
• The underrated lifestyle shifts that change your terrain more than supplements do
• How to spot when your body is in “woe mode” and the gentlest way to shift out
• The one thing women over 35 really need to focus on (and it’s not rushing to IVF)

This is a deep-exhale, “wait… why has nobody told me this?” kind of episode.
You’ll walk away clearer, calmer and genuinely empowered about your next steps.

Hello my love — today’s episode is a warm, honest, slightly chaotic deep dive into something every woman feels but almost no one talks about.

Because here’s the thing:
We think the fertility journey ends the moment we see that positive test…
but it doesn’t.
It follows you.
It shapes you.
It becomes the blueprint for how you survive (and sometimes even thrive in) mamahood.

In this episode, I’m opening up about:

✨ The emotional skills your fertility journey secretly trains you for

Breathwork. Resilience. Surrender. Holding heartbreak and hope at the same time.
These become your superpowers in mamahood.

✨ The micro moment that showed me my fertility tools were actually mamahood tools

One overstimulated night, two kids melting down, and a single breath that changed everything.

✨ Why nervous system regulation matters more in mamahood than at any other time

Forget 20-minute meditations — it’s all about tiny, potent pockets of calm.

✨ The nutrition clarity you need before postpartum

Because learning blood sugar, energy cycles, and hormone-supporting meals while sleep-deprived?
Absolutely not.

✨ The identity shift no one prepares you for

Becoming a mama means losing parts of yourself, finding new ones, and learning to hold both.

✨ The simple tool that has saved my sanity: “The List”

One piece of paper that becomes your lifeline when your brain can’t brain.

This episode is your reminder that:

You’re not ungrateful if mamahood feels hard.
You’re not failing if you’re overwhelmed.
You’re not broken if you cry on the bathroom floor.
You’re human.
You’re a mama.
And you are so wildly capable.

Everything you’re doing now to support your fertility — the nourishment, the boundaries, the nervous system work, the mindset shifts — it’s all preparing you for mamahood in ways you don’t even realise yet.

If this episode landed softly for you, please share it with a woman you love.
