Episode 9: Navigating the Emotional and Mental Journey of Infertility with Ashley Holmes
Manage episode 434491757 series 3508696
Infertility affects 1 in 6 people across the globe, but rarely is it talked about publicly and many women suffer in silence. If you’ve experienced the rollercoaster of a fertility journey, or you know someone who is, this episode is for you.
My guest, Ashley Holmes, a holistic fertility coach, shares how navigating your inner world and making the time to process your emotional experience helps to make sense of your reality whether or not your fertility journey results in the arrival of a baby.
This is a tough topic and this conversation is very powerful.
Episode Highlights:
- The lowdown on my own fertility journey
- What happens when you end up with no baby after years of trying
- Accepting ‘what is’ even though it’s not what you want
- Feeling whole and complete regardless of your circumstances
- The power thought patterns have on the way you feel
- How to sit with difficult feelings
- Techniques for processing through uncomfortable emotions
- Dealing with deep rooted anger
- Managing the effects of cumulative stress
- How Ashley uses Ayurveda and energy healing to create mind & body balance
- The 3 Ayurvedic constitutions
- Becoming conscious of what you’re not only putting into your body but onto it too
- Finding a supportive community to journey with rather than trying to cope alone
Acceptance, courage and inner work and essential components on what can be a rough ride for some women. I found this conversation with Ashley very insightful and I hope, if infertility is something that’s affected you, you listen and know that you’re not alone.
