Today we're digging into what you need to do so that you don’t waste time when you are TTC.

Happy New Year!

We all know the saying new year - new you. And if you’re reading this right now you’re probably thinking, 2021 is the year that you’ll finally get pregnant and have your baby.

So you start with diet changes, dust off your yoga mat, and commit to meditation. You’re on a roll for the first couple of weeks and then LIFE gets in the way and in comes self-sabotage.

And you give up. It’s not your fault. The average person gives up their new year's resolution by January 19th.

I know you’re thinking “I’m a type-A, action taker and a doer by nature” - I’ll push through”.

But what if you’re doing things that actually set you back - instead of optimizing your fertility?

I want to make sure that you don’t waste time in 2021 doing the wrong things that don’t get you closer to your goal of having your baby.

This episode is for you if:

1) You want to prepare your body for a baby in 2021

2) You’ve researched and done everything possible for your diagnosis - but it is not working

3) You’re not sure what you should do next - you want a plan

On this episode you'll learn:

1) My top 3 biggest time wasters I see with couples who are trying to conceive and what you can do to fast track your pregnancy success

2) Why New Years resolutions usually fail and how to set an intention that you actually stick to so that you can prepare for your baby.

3) How to get out of your own way so you don't waste time self-diagnosing, self-prescribing, and following recommendations that may be setting you back.

We are looking for the "quick fix" but are truly wasting time.
The mental and emotional stress of fertility (and why we have to address it)
