In this powerful episode, I’m joined by fertility yoga, Pilates, and breathwork teacher Jennifer Edmonds, whose personal journey through infertility, IVF, miscarriage, and nervous system dysregulation led her to a completely different understanding of what the body needed in order to conceive.

We dive into:
✨ Jennifer’s story of being told she was in early menopause, and what happened next
✨ Why fertility isn’t just about hormones, labs, or egg quality
✨ How chronic stress, trauma, and nervous system overload can shut down fertility
✨ The science behind the mind-body connection in conception
✨ How fertility yoga and somatic practices helped regulate her system, restore her cycle, and transform her journey
✨ What most fertility doctors overlook, and how it impacts your ability to conceive
✨ How to support your body emotionally, energetically, and physically through a fertility journey

This conversation is a beautiful reminder that your body is not broken, it may simply be asking for safety, support, and a different kind of healing.

If you’re navigating infertility, preparing for IVF, recovering from loss, or supporting your body naturally, this episode will give you tools, hope, and a new perspective on what’s possible.
