Episode 161 - The moment she realized it wasn’t “just her” who wanted this baby…
I have to tell you about one of the most powerful full-circle moments I’ve ever witnessed in my coaching career — and now you get to witness it too. In the latest coaching call of the Fertility Mind-Body Mastery, something magical happened. One of my longtime clients — who just completed her third (!!) round of FMBM — shows up to her very last call… with her newborn baby in her arms Baby Daniel. (Yes — partly named after a good man. My husband Dan, actually ) But that’s not even the most touching part. She opens up about a powerful force she felt all throughout trying to conceive. One she thought was pressure… or obsession… or maybe even her “crazy” for wanting another baby. But the moment she gave birth? That force left her body. And she realized… It was never fear. It was never lack. It was never selfishness. It was love. It was purpose. It was something far bigger than her, moving through her. A divine current saying: I choose you for this And now that Daniel is here, she can feel the peace again. Not because she finally got what she wanted… but because she followed the call. So my love, that’s what this episode is all about: What if your desire isn’t coming from you… but for you? What if that ache isn’t a problem to fix… but a guide to follow? What if you're not crazy for wanting more… but chosen for it? This is one of those episodes that will soften every harsh voice in your head and help you feel safe to trust your desires again — especially if the world tells you you’re asking for too much.

Episode 160 - When actually getting pregnant feels scary. (Even when you really want the baby)
Let’s cut the fertility fluff. You say you want the baby. And I 100% believe you. But the real question is: Does your nervous system—the bodyguard of what gets let in—believe it’s actually safe to receive this? This week’s episode is not for the surface-level manifesting girlies. This is for the woman who’s done so damn much and still feels like she’s stuck in fertility purgatory. Because here’s what no one tells you: Sometimes, it’s not the heartbreak you’re scared of anymore. It’s the vulnerability of letting yourself have it. This episode will hit if: You see your baby in a meditation—soft cheeks, tiny toes, you even feel their energy in the room with you—and without even thinking, you snap your eyes open and shake it off like it was too much. Too real. Too soon. You tell your friend, “Honestly, I’m okay either way.” But you feel your throat tighten—because you’re not. Not really. You just don’t want to sound desperate. You told yourself you’d rest today… but suddenly you’ve “accidentally” created a 12-point plan for optimizing your fertility routine again. Spoiler: That’s not self-sabotage. That’s nervous system survival mode just doin’ its thang. This week on the pod, we’re diving into: 4 reasons why receiving can feel like a threat, not a reward. How perfectionism kills your ability to hold paradox which is what regulates your nervous system. And how to stop managing the fertility journey like a job ...and start actually becoming the woman who can let it in that baby! LISTEN NOW! And if this episode lands like truth in your bones? Omg you have to join my new program HELD at www.spenserbrassard.com It’s where we stop gripping, overthinking, and efforting... and start building real capacity to receive.

Episode 159 - Honoring Pregnancy Loss
If you’re not in the space to hear about pregnancy loss, please take care of yourself and skip this one. But if you’ve been through it—or are in it right now—this is for you. My intention is to honor you. To walk beside you. To name the sacredness of this experience in a world that often doesn’t know how.

This most recent one, especially. Not from fear, but from surrender. Pregnancy loss brings you into direct contact with life and death at once. And yet, we don’t freaking talk about it. We don’t honor it. We very often resist it. In this episode, we’ll explore: Why we don’t honor pregnancy loss in our culture (and how that creates suffering) ️How to gently, soulfully honor a loss in your own life Spirit baby communication & what it means to be in equal relationship with that soul ️What to do with the fear of it happening again And 5 beautiful, creative ways to mark your loss with love This isn’t about fixing anything. It’s about witnessing the deeper truth of an experience that is too often shamed and dismissed in our culture. This episode is an offering from my heart to yours. Not to rush you. Not to force meaning. But to remind you that meaning will come. And that you’re not in this alone. Listen to the episode now

The one with deep resilience. You still show up — even when your heart feels shattered. Even when no one notices how much you’re really holding. And maybe you’re starting to wonder… What happens if I stop holding it all? What happens if I don’t keep over-giving, over-doing, over-functioning? That’s exactly what we’re talking about on the podcast this week: Entering Your Season of Restoration and Receiving Not because you’re weak. Not because you’ve given up. But because you’re finally wise enough to know… You don’t have to suffer to be worthy of the life you want. We’re unpacking: Why women resist receiving (even when they crave it) The identity shift it takes to feel safe in this new season of your life. What receiving actually means and looks like IRL— on a soul and body level And the truth that might crack your heart wide open: Your desire for your dream life must become bigger than your fear of judgment. This is an invitation to step into a new season. A season where you feel nourished. Supported. Loved. And absolutely fucking worthy of a fabulous dinner out… even if you did nothing all day. This episode is a portal (I’m not kidding. Listen to it and see…) And if you’re ready to be deeply held, to soften your grip, and to trust your body and your path again — come join us inside Fertility Mind-Body Mastery. This is the work.

Episode 157 - How mind-body work makes IVF 1000x better
Out of 156 podcast episodes, I’ve never done one on IVF—which is honestly kind of wild. And if I’m being really honest with you… I think it’s because I’ve been so careful with this topic. I know how deeply emotional IVF is, and I never want to add to anyone’s pain. But this year, I made a promise to myself: to speak my truth fully. Because when I hold back out of fear, I also hold back from the women who need to hear this message. Here’s the truth: IVF isn’t just a medical process—it’s a deeply emotional one. And yet, so much of the focus is on numbers, medications, and test results… while no one asks how you’re actually feeling in all of this. I know firsthand how easy it is to attach your worth to your IVF outcome. I’ve lived the shame of feeling like my body was failing me. But the most powerful shift I made—the one that changed everything—was realizing this: Your worth has nothing to do with how your baby comes to you. You are not broken. You have done nothing wrong. IVF isn’t something happening to you—it’s something you’re choosing (more about this inside of the podcast) and that shift alone is game-changing. When you approach IVF from this place—not from fear, but from deep trust in yourself—it doesn’t justfeel better… There's ample research that it improves outcomes. Studies have shown that when IVF patients apply mind-body tools, it leads to a higher quality of life and improved pregnancy rates. And yet, most women go through this process without knowing how to take care of themselves through it all. Not on my watch! In this episode, I break down: The shame so many women carry around IVF (and how to release it) The small but massive mind-body shifts that can transform your experience Why mind-body work isn’t about “being calm” but about staying connected to yourself How to move through IVF feeling stronger, not smaller. If you’re thinking about IVF, going through it, or trying to heal from it—this episode is for you.
