Get to know the host of The Unspoken Cycle Podcast, Leah Vaughn during this brief introduction.

On today’s episode of The Unspoken Cycle Podcast we’re going to dive deep into the meaning of being an empowered woman. We’ll revisit some of the most pivotal moments in history for women, we’ll define what empowerment looks like and we’ll learn how to embrace our individual empowerment every day, through the great days AND the tough days. Are you ready to evolve YOUR empowerment?  

On this episode of The Unspoken Cycle Podcast we’re talking about the cycle of generational trauma. We’ll explore what it is, what it looks like and how it specifically impacts the lives of women. We’ll dig into real life examples of just how deep generational trauma flows and most importantly, we’re going to learn how to break that cycle once and for all!  

Welcome mamas, aspiring mamas and mamas who can relate to all fertiity related struggles!  Join me for Fertility Fridays each week as we talk about the raw and real fertilify battles that exist when trying to start a family and trying to grow a family.  Through my journey of secondary infertility, I learned that SO many women had shared experiences and SO many women desire more community, support and transparency around this difficult life issue for women.

Do you consider yourself an empath? I know many people who do, including myself!  However, according to some, identifying as an empath leads to red flags indicitave of severe childhood trauma. Today I'll explore what it means to be an empathic person, if it truly is a representation of unhealed trauma and how we can best care for ourselves in meaningful and healing ways.

Sometimes the most intimidating part of the fertility journey is figuring out what you should know or should've know along the way.  In this episode I explore the basic foundation of information that we should equip ourselves with, as well as share tools and resources that have been incredibly helpful to me in making this journey a much less intimidating process.  Knowledge is power mamas!

As a woman, it seems like everywhere I turn, there’s a new pressure to step up my game and how I express my femininity. I’m constantly being challenged to wear the perfect outfit, have the perfect hairstyle, be calmy composed at all times and even find the perfect solution to stop aging in its tracks.  But this only creates an unrealistic journey to perfection that I know I can’t achieve. On Today’s episode of The Unspoken Cycle Podcast, I explore the topic of classic femininity (think Audrey Hepburn), in a progressive society (think Kim Kardashian).  How can we better embrace who we are as feminine women at all ages and stages of life and love ourselves in the skin that we’re in on a deeper level? 

Grief shows up in many ways while trying to conceive.  It's important for those of us who are TTC to know what grief looks like, that it's absolutely OK to embrace it and how to use our grief to find hope again.  In today's episode I talk about that heaviness of grief, why we should welcome it, and how we can use it to empower ourselves along the way.
