“You cannot logic your way out of resentment. You have to feel it, name it, speak it.”
Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here...
Let’s get real: resentment is that hot, heavy energy that creeps in when you’ve been holding it together for too long. It’s the quiet rage when your partner doesn’t “get it,” the sting when another woman gets pregnant doing all the wrong things, or the heartbreak of feeling like your body betrayed you. Resentment builds in silence, in over-giving, in minimizing your truth—and it will block your fertility just as much as poor egg quality or high cortisol.
Resentment isn’t just an emotion. It’s an energy that hardens, clogs your flow, and eventually becomes a cellular issue—tight fascia, hormonal misfires, nervous system chaos. You can eat the kale and do the yoga, but if resentment is looping like an old VHS tape in your cells, your body won’t feel safe to conceive. The only way through? Radical honesty, naming your truth, and alchemizing the pain into power.
This is about cleaning up your emotional junk drawer before you step into motherhood. Because bitterness is not the inheritance your baby is calling for. Love, joy, presence—those are. So press play, get radically honest with yourself, and start shifting resentment into clarity, power, and a womb space that feels safe again.
“Where have you swallowed your truth? That’s where resentment is living.”
