Read the full notes and transcript at Dr. Aimee's website. After 20 years of practicing medicine, I’ve learned that not everything is sunshine and rainbows. To help myself and my fertility patients, I’ve adopted a “float through life” mindset—emphasizing mindfulness, calmness, adaptability, and acceptance. Whether you’re going through IVF or simply exploring your fertility options, cultivating a positive mindset can help you feel more grounded and supported in the process. In this episode, I share how mindfulness and a flexible mindset can be powerful tools for fertility patients. Instead of being consumed by stress or uncertainty, you’ll learn how to approach IVF and your fertility journey with more ease, presence, and hope. This shift toward a positive mindset doesn’t mean ignoring challenges—it means embracing tools that allow you to move through them with greater strength and grace. In this episode, we cover:
- How to embrace situations as they come without spiraling when plans change
- The power of mindfulness and accepting impermanence in difficult times
- Ways to stay flexible, cultivate gratitude, and detach from rigid outcomes
- Why humor, lightheartedness, and community support matter in tough moments
- Practical steps for prioritizing self-care, limiting overthinking, and trusting the journey
