The Wilde Way: Fertility Unfiltered 25. If You’re Afraid to Hope Again, This Is for You
This is a short New Year’s Eve episode for anyone who’s still waiting.
Waiting for a pregnancy.
Waiting for answers.
Waiting for life to look different.
New Year’s Eve can feel exciting and hopeful, but it can also feel heavy when you’re on a fertility journey. This episode isn’t a lesson, a list, or a plan. It’s a pause. A moment to breathe. And a reminder that you’re not doing this wrong.
In this solo episode, I share honestly about what New Year’s Eve felt like for me before I became a mum. The tension between hope and fear. The quiet panic around time passing. The backup plans we make just to feel safe. The guilt, the spiritual questions, and the deep desire to become a mother while still feeling scared to hope again.
We talk about:
- The emotional weight of New Year’s Eve when you’re still waiting
- Why hope can feel risky after a long fertility journey
- The pressure women put on themselves at this time of year
- Why your body doesn’t need more pressure, it needs more safety
- A gentle reflection on what you might want to leave behind and carry into the new year
If January feels heavy for you, this episode is here to remind you that nothing is wrong with you. You don’t need to decide anything tonight. You don’t need a word for the year. You don’t need a perfect plan.
As I move into 2026, I’ll be releasing the podcast fortnightly. It’s the rhythm that feels right for this season of work and mamahood, and it allows me to create these conversations with more intention and care.
You’re allowed to want this.
You’re allowed to be scared.
You’re allowed to hope carefully.
And you’re allowed to slow down.
Happy New Year, lovely. Wherever you are on your journey, I’m holding you in it.
