Episode 274: What My 2.5 Year Fertility Journey Has Taught Me: 8 Raw and Divine Lessons I Wish I Knew Sooner Part 1

May 1

This is the most personal episode I’ve ever recorded.mI’m unpacking everything I’ve learned so far on my 2.5 year fertility journey.

For 2.5 years, I’ve been on a fertility journey that’s tested every part of me—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Today, I’m taking down the walls and sharing it all: the pain, the shifts, the healing, the mindset work, and the unexpected joy I’ve uncovered along the way.

This episode isn’t just about fertility. It’s about identity, empowerment, and finding purpose even when life doesn’t go as planned.

I never want to look back at this period in my life and just see pain, frustration, or confusion. Joy isn’t at the finish line: it’s in the detours, the upgrades, and the protein-rich breakfasts I eat now that I never used to enjoy! Joy is in becoming the healthiest version of myself I’ve ever been.

IN THIS EPISODE:

Why I refuse to call myself "infertile"—and how the language we use reshapes our reality
The heartbreaking gaps in conventional care (and what finally helped me feel heard and supported)
How environmental toxins affect fertility and hormone health, and small daily choices became acts of radical self-love
Harnessing spiritual connection and faith in this journey and why hope and deep trust in timing have been essential

Whether you’re navigating your own fertility experience or facing a different kind of life detour, this episode will speak to your soul.

🎧 Press play to explore fertility, identity, and mindset through a deeply human lens—and leave feeling lighter, stronger, and more connected to your own journey.

Please send the positive vibes, and I hope this episode encourages you to cultivate joy and purpose in your life, even in the midst of big challenges.

REFLECTION QUESTION

Have you ever had a struggle or a goal became all-consuming? What would it look like to shift focus and bring more enjoyment to the journey, even before you reach your desired outcome?

“If I fast forward my life to a point where I finally have the baby that I'm meant for, I'm going to completely miss the life that I have right now. Even though it's been frustrating and there are so many different things we've tried that maybe haven't worked, I have found that I need to just enjoy this. I need to start loving to heal myself. I need to start loving my health.” - Karolina

“I haven't been pushing away the sadness. I've allowed myself to cry. I've allowed myself to feel things. But I have to shift my mindset. I can't believe that I'm infertile. That is not even a story that I'm allowing myself to tell myself. And that's one of the tips I'll talk about too: even the language that we use to describe these kinds of things is so, so important.” - Karolina
