The Hidden Reason You’re Addicted to “Doing” on Your TTC, Infertility & IVF Journey
Stillness isn’t stagnation. It’s integration. Topics Discussed The chaos addiction blocking your fertilityNervous system dysregulation and fertility strugglesHow trauma patterns show up after you get pregnantEpigenetics, motherhood, and the cost of overdoingWhy your body can’t receive in a high-alert stateThe energetic upgrade from hustle to healingHow to actually trust the pause without spiraling You can chase in chaos, but you can’t receive in chaos. Show Notes Summary Hello Beautiful Souls, the voice of Monica here... This one's raw, real, and honestly a little uncomfortable, in the best way. I skipped a podcast episode for the first time in five years. Not because I forgot. Not because I didn’t care. But because I’m practicing what I preach: stepping out of chaos and into calm. This episode is a full-on permission slip to stop running yourself into the ground in the name of fertility. The endless doing, fixing, tweaking, chasing—it might feel productive, but it’s actually the very frequency that’s keeping your body in survival. Stillness, on the other hand, is scary because it’s unfamiliar. But that’s exactly where your intuition gets loud and your nervous system learns to receive. I get into how these patterns don’t magically disappear once you get pregnant, and why so many mamas find themselves overwhelmed, triggered, and exhausted postpartum. If your chaos feels safer than peace, this episode is your invitation to shift. Press play. Let it land. And ask yourself: what if letting go is what moves you forward? You’re not falling behind. You’re finally tuning in.
