Trying to conceive can feel like an emotional rollercoaster—and no one talks about it enough. In this episode of The Wellness Effect, we’re continuing Kira’s fertility journey, breaking down the mindset, supplements, and support that helped her conceive after loss.

In this deeply vulnerable and powerful episode, Kira shares more details about the physical, emotional, and spiritual layers of her fertility journey—from grieving multiple losses to navigating early pregnancy with cautious hope. She gets real about the supplements that helped, the importance of mineral support, how parasites may have played a role, and the healing power of talking to other women.

Lacey also shares the start of her own conception journey—balancing uncertainty with curiosity and shifting mindset after years of not wanting kids.

This episode is a beautiful reminder that everyone’s timeline and experience is different—and there’s no perfect way to do this.

Key Takeaways:

1. Supplements aren’t everything—but they helped.

   Kira shares the specific fertility supplements that supported her, including CoQ10, NAC, and minerals, but reminds listeners they’re only one piece of the puzzle.

2. Your partner’s health matters, too.

   Fertility isn’t just a “female issue”—it’s also important to include male partners in testing, supplements, and mindset.

3. Mindset and language shape your journey.

   Calling it a “fertility journey” vs. “infertility journey” may sound small—but how you speak about your body and path matters.

4. You don’t have to do this alone.

   Community, vulnerability, and connecting with other women on the same journey can be incredibly healing.

5. Conventional answers aren’t always the full picture.

   Question dismissive medical advice and start advocating for yourself.

6. It’s okay if your story is messy.

   This journey isn’t linear—grief, fear, hope, and joy can all coexist, and you deserve space for all of it.

Can letting go be the very thing that brings your deepest desire? In this heart-opening episode of The Wellness Effect, Kira shares her vulnerable and powerful story of navigating fertility struggles, loss, and finally… a pregnancy. This conversation isn’t just about motherhood—it’s about healing, trusting your body, and choosing softness on the journey.

Together, we dive into the deep and often unspoken realities of the fertility journey. Kira shares the emotional weight of multiple losses, the toll of clinging to timelines, and what finally shifted her path. We also discuss how emotional regulation, nervous system healing, and surrender played a role—not only in conception but in overall well-being.

This isn’t a “just relax and it will happen” story. It’s an honest look at the messy, nonlinear path of creating life and choosing self-love along the way.

Key Takeaways:

1. Letting go can open the door to healing.
2. Chronic stress, emotional dysregulation, and being stuck in a survival state can block your body’s ability to feel safe enough to conceive.
3. Pregnancy after loss brings complicated emotions. Joy, fear, grief, and gratitude often exist at the same time—and it’s okay to feel them all.
4. Healing isn't about perfection—it’s about safety. Focus on foundational support (like sleep, minerals, and nourishment) rather than obsessing over doing everything “right” made the biggest difference.
5. Everyone’s timeline is different—and that’s okay.
6. Fertility is about more than just physical health. Mindset, emotional processing, energetic alignment, and trust in your body are just as important as labs, supplements, and protocols.

Ever feel like you’re doing all the right things—eating clean, exercising, taking supplements—but still not seeing results? You might be missing a key step in your healing journey: supporting your drainage pathways.

In this episode, we break down the difference between drainage and detox, explain why your body might be struggling to eliminate toxins, and share how your lymphatic system, liver, and gut all play crucial roles in the process. Whether you're dealing with skin issues, bloating, brain fog, or fatigue, understanding drainage is essential.

You’ll learn what signs to look out for when your drainage pathways are backed up, why pooping and sweating are more important than you think, and how emotional regulation and nervous system support fit into the picture. Tune in for practical tips—from dry brushing to mineral water—that actually work.
