Episode Description

***BONUS CHRISTMAS EPISODE***

We are releasing this in the middle of Christmas in case anyone is looking for some extra emotional support during this time.


I am with one of our affiliate acupuncturists, Danielle Croft from Banbury, to discuss the emotional challenges faced during fertility journeys and how Chinese medicine can provide support.


We discuss


  • How fertility journeys can evoke a range of difficult emotions.
  • Why anger is a natural response to fertility challenges and should be expressed.
  • How finding joy is crucial for mental well-being during fertility struggles.
  • How worry and overthinking can be managed by setting boundaries and focusing on self-care.
  • Why grief is a valid emotion in the context of fertility and should be acknowledged.
  • The ways connecting with something greater can help cope with grief.
  • How movement and exercise can help release pent-up emotions like fear and anger.
