Anne Margolis joins us this week as we\\u2019re digging into how breath can help with stress on the fertility journey.

I know when I was on the fertility journey I wouldn\\u2019t have said I was stressed.

I now know that I experienced chronic stress for years.

I always felt tense and anxious (I had TMJ and at one point couldn\\u2019t even open my mouth to eat).

I was very controlling and felt the need to plan everything.

I was super impatient and put a lot of pressure on myself to keep going (I didn\\u2019t even take time to grieve when I received my POF diagnosis) I kept focused on my plan to get pregnant.

I didn\\u2019t tune into what my body was desperately trying to tell me.

I felt stuck in my job because what I really wanted was to get pregnant and stay home with my baby\\u2026and nothing seemed to be working. I felt frustrated and powerless.

I was so guarded. Because I felt if I was vulnerable I wouldn\\u2019t be able to cope with the anger and sadness.

This is all hindsight of course. It is hard to see your own issues when you are stuck in the middle of a struggle. It\\u2019s taken years of work and self-discovery to ultimately be less hard on myself and give myself some grace.

When we cultivate self-awareness we can let our walls down and the healing can begin.

Today I\'m excited to welcome Anne Margolis to the podcast. Anne is a Licensed Certified Nurse Midwife, Licensed Femme! Teacher, Certified Clarity Breathwork Practitioner, Yoga Teacher, and practitioner.

In this episode you\'ll learn:

1) The power of breathwork to reduce stress

2) Breath patterns and how they impact health and fertility

3) How to tap into the power of the breath to ultimately grant yourself grace
