In this episode of IVF This, we explore why the hardest part of IVF, grief, and uncertainty, isn't the outcome—but the emotions they bring up. We talk about emotional avoidance, anticipatory stress, and how building emotional tolerance can reduce anxiety and help you feel more grounded during fertility treatment and life's hardest moments.

Detachment in IVF doesn't mean you stop caring—it means learning how to care without losing yourself. In this episode, we explore the art of detachment during stim and transfer cycles, and how grounding helps you return to yourself while holding hope gently, no matter how this unfolds.

IVF is full of moments we think will finally make it easier — until they don't. In this episode, we talk about the arrival fallacy, why milestones rarely deliver the relief we expect, and how to support yourself through the in-between.

The in-between — that space between what was and what's next — can feel unbearable during IVF. In this episode, I explore the liminal space: why it's so uncomfortable from both a brain and emotional perspective, and how you can reclaim this time as a meaningful, even sacred, part of your becoming.

Explore how Lucky Girl Syndrome and manifestation connect to the neuroscience of the brain's reticular activating system (RAS), and how to use it in IVF without falling into toxic positivity.
