Welcome to day#1 of our Mini-Series on the impact of stress on fertility. Over the next 3 days, I\\u2019ll be giving you actionable steps that you can implement right now to reduce the top stressors so that you can optimize your body for pregnancy success.

We all know that mental-emotional stress can impact our health, but what impact does it have on our fertility?

I\\u2019m sure someone has probably told you \\u201djust relax\\u2026 you\\u2019ll get pregnant\\u201d. And while this advice may be well-meaning \\u2013 it is completely unhelpful and places blame on you. Because after all if you could relax and get pregnant you would have done it already!

It may seem unfair that other people don\\u2019t have to change their diet, down a million supplements, and never meditate and get pregnant with ease\\u2026while you\\u2019re stuck doing \\u201call things\\u201d and it\'s not working.

And this could keep you stuck in comparison. I know we\\u2019ve all been there and it can be a slippery slope that is disempowering and can lead to hopelessness.

I wanted to give you some steps to help so that you can address mental-emotional stress and prepare your body to get pregnant naturally.

In this episode you\\u2019ll learn:

1) Does stress actually cause infertility - we break down the common myths

2) Why telling someone to relax or blaming yourself for stress is not helpful

3) How to address mental-emotional stress so that you can have pregnancy success
