On today’s solo episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I explore the often-misunderstood world of manifestation, especially as it relates to trying to conceive. If you’ve ever felt guilty for having negative thoughts or wondered whether your mindset is blocking your fertility, this episode is for you.

I break down the energetic and physical layers of manifestation, share how flow state and nervous system regulation impact your ability to create (including fertility), and offer actionable tips for integrating mindset work in a way that supports, not overwhelms, your journey. From ancient wisdom to real-life stories (including how I manifested my dream job and meeting my husband), I share how true manifestation stems from a state of ease, alignment, and wholeness.

Key Takeaways:

• Manifestation is not about toxic positivity or blaming yourself for your fertility journey
• Flow state, deep presence and openness, is the true foundation of creation
• Fertility is an extension of the body’s creative energy and should be supported holistically
• Validation of your emotions is essential, resisting them leads to stagnation
• Aligning body and mind through practices like meditation, journaling, and joy-based activities can help shift your energetic state
• Affirmations work best when they feel safe, believable, and rooted in gratitude

On this powerful solo episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I explore the deep connection between blocked creativity, emotional trauma, and the womb—and how this interplay can directly affect your fertility. While so many focus on ovulation tracking, supplements, and diet, it’s often the unspoken, unprocessed emotions that quietly influence conception.

In this episode, I share the wisdom of ancient traditions and modern science, revealing how the womb is not just a physical organ but an energetic, emotional, and creative center. From Chinese medicine’s heart-womb connection to somatic healing practices like visualization and movement, I offer actionable ways to reconnect with your womb and unlock its healing potential.

Whether you're trying to conceive or simply seeking a deeper relationship with your body, this episode will invite you to listen inward, release what’s been stored, and restore safety and softness to the womb space.

Key Takeaways:

• How trauma, grief, and emotional blocks can be stored in the womb
• The ancient and energetic significance of the womb as a creative center
• How the heart and uterus are connected through Chinese medicine
• Practices to restore safety and regulation in the nervous system
• Simple tools like visualization, movement, and self-compassion to nurture the womb

On today’s episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I’m joined by Jillian Greaves @jilliangreavesrd, a functional medicine dietitian and women’s health expert, to unpack the complex but often overlooked, relationship between blood sugar balance, hormonal birth control, and fertility. Jillian shares her personal health journey from battling persistent symptoms like acne, bloating, anxiety, and hair loss to uncovering the deeper root causes through functional medicine.

We dive into how hormonal birth control impacts your hormones, gut, liver, and micronutrient status, and why so many women feel worse when coming off the pill. Jillian also breaks down why managing blood sugar is essential not only for hormone balance but also for egg quality, ovulation, and creating safety in the body.

Whether you're navigating post-birth control symptoms, thinking about conception, or simply curious about how nutrition and nervous system regulation influence your cycle, this episode is packed with insights that will leave you feeling empowered and informed.

Key Takeaways:

• Hormonal birth control suppresses your natural hormone cycle and can lead to long-term nutrient depletion, gut imbalance, and inflammation.
• Coming off the pill is often a bumpy process that requires patience, support, and targeted care.
• Balanced blood sugar is the foundation of hormonal health and fertility—swings in either direction can create stress signals in the body.
• Fasting and trendy diets like intermittent fasting may backfire for women, especially those trying to conceive.
• Nutrition is powerful, but blood sugar regulation also depends on stress management, sleep, and circadian rhythm alignment.
