Ep.28/ A Holistic Guide to Fertility with Sophia Tremenheere
What are the common and lesser known factors that affect fertility? what are the impacts of stress and diet upon our bodies? The role of our nervous system, our mindset and beliefs? Sophia shares a broader perspective on our health and wellbeing affecting our fertility.
Period & Women's Coach, Fertility Awareness Educator and TEDx Speaker Sophia Tremenheere last got together to record Episode 22 Perfect Your Period. Sophia helps women and menstruators to experience happier, healthier periods and is passionate about guiding women to unlock their power, potential and productivity by aligning their life and business/career with their menstrual cycle and coming home to their bodies. She also supports women to chart their cycle for contraception and conception by using the ‘Fertility Awareness Method’.
I thought this episode was a really important conversation to bring to the table since I myself know so many women who have or still do struggle in the area of conception and pregnancy. It seems to be so widespread and part of me wonders what or if there is some way we are collectively living our lives and experiencing the world that is contributing to these challenges, which is not said with any blame or shame or making wrong, but more so we can gain deeper awareness, zoom out and look at what is working and not working and thus make empowered decisions for ourselves on what feels right and good for us.
This conversation brings fertility therefore into a boarder context, encompassing diet, lifestyle, the huge impact of stress, the nervous system, your emotional landscape, your mindset around getting pregnant, beliefs about yourself or your body that you might be unconsciously attached.
This can be a very sensitive topic for a lot of women and couples, whether you are trying to get pregnant or not trying or thinking about trying or have been trying for a while, so please note that everything we discuss here is purely an invitation. It’s not to make right or wrong. It’s not to conflict with any medical advice you’ve been given but to work in conjunction, offering a well-rounded and holistic approach. I invite you to listen with a keen ear and open heart, looking for nuggets of insight that feel right for you. As with all these episodes, take what you like and leave the rest.
If you haven’t already you might wish to go back to Episode 22 to more deeply understand your cycle, which is supportive for you as a woman whether you are trying to get pregnant or not.
