  • Why Waiting for a Fertility Problem Is a Mistake | Dr. Natalie Crawford

    Why Waiting for a Fertility Problem Is a Mistake | Dr. Natalie Crawford
    Feb 18 2026
    What if fertility care didn't start when something went wrong, but before? In this episode, Dr. Natalie Crawford MD, a board-certified OB-GYN and reproductive endocrinologist, and author of The Fertility Formula, joins Beth for a refreshingly honest conversation that blends medical expertise with lived experience. Dr. Crawford opens up about her own infertility journey and shares what she wishes more people knew earlier about fertility, inflammation, and reproductive health. You'll hear why early fertility testing matters, what key labs like AMH and thyroid levels can reveal, and how lifestyle and chronic inflammation quietly impact reproductive outcomes. Together, we unpack the gaps in fertility education, why so many patients feel dismissed, and how shifting from reactive treatment to preventive care can change everything. This episode is equal parts empowering, informative, and hopeful, especially if you want to understand your fertility sooner, advocate for better care, or feel less alone navigating the unknown. If you've ever wondered whether you should be testing earlier, asking better questions, or trusting your intuition about your body, this conversation is for you.

  • Why Adult Friendships Change and How to Cope When They Do

    Why Adult Friendships Change and How to Cope When They Do
    Feb 11 2026

    Friendships don't usually end with a bang. They fade. They shift. They quietly stop fitting the life you're living now. In this episode of Quiet The Clock, Beth goes deep into the unspoken reality of adult friendships. The kind no one warns you about. The slow drifting. The sudden jealousy when someone else's life moves faster. The grief that shows up when a friendship doesn't survive a new season. Beth shares personal stories you haven't heard before and reintroduces her powerful "Friendship Pyramid," a simple but eye-opening tool to help you understand who truly belongs in your inner circle and who may be meant for a different tier or a different chapter altogether.

    This conversation is honest, tender, and grounding. It's about learning when to fight for a friendship, when to release it without guilt, and how to make room for new connections without betraying your past. If you've ever felt confused, lonely, or quietly heartbroken about a friendship that changed, this episode will make you feel deeply seen. Because growing up also means grieving friendships and choosing them with intention.

    We Also Talk About:

    • The evolving nature of friendships as people age and experience life changes.

    • The emotional complexities of friendship breakups and ruptures.

    • Personal experiences of feeling disconnected from friends due to differing life stages.

    • The importance of honest communication in addressing feelings like jealousy and envy in friendships.

    • Introduction of the "friendship pyramid" exercise to categorize friendships based on closeness and support.

    • Strategies for making new friends in adulthood, including joining social groups and activities.

    • The significance of grieving the loss of friendships and appreciating their past value.

    • The societal tendency to prioritize romantic relationships over friendships.

    • The need for regular self-assessment of friendships to ensure they meet current needs.

    • Encouragement to invest time and effort into friendships, recognizing their importance in overall well-being.

  • After The Bachelor: Julie LaPlaca on Fertility, Fear, and Starting Over

    After The Bachelor: Julie LaPlaca on Fertility, Fear, and Starting Over
    Feb 4 2026
    What happens when you freeze your eggs at 39, leave a high-pressure TV career, and finally stop forcing life to follow a script? In this episode of Quiet the Clock, Beth sits down with Julie LaPlaca, who went from producing The Bachelor to becoming a hypnotherapist, to explore fertility, fear, and the art of trusting yourself when society's timeline grows louder. Julie opens up about her decision to freeze her eggs at 39, the emotional weight of age and societal expectations, and what it really felt like to step away from a career that looked "successful" on paper but no longer fit. She shares how hypnotherapy, spirituality, and nervous system work helped her move through uncertainty, reconnect with her intuition, and soften into life instead of white-knuckling it. We also dive into Julie's upcoming book, The Love Producer, where she explores love, vulnerability, and the courage it takes to stop performing and start living authentically. If you're navigating fertility decisions, questioning your career path, or feeling behind in any area of life, this episode is a reminder that there is no expiration date on becoming yourself. ABOUT OUR GUEST: Julie LaPlaca is a seasoned television producer with over two decades of experience working in the entertainment industry. Most notably, she spent years crafting some of reality TV's most iconic love stories as a supervising producer on The Bachelor franchise. She is also an author, life coach, hypnotherapist, and the founder of The Love Producer, a personal development brand devoted to helping others produce the love they desire in their lives. Julie writes about her transition from producing happily-ever-afters for others, to embarking on her own journey for love in her upcoming memoir, The Love Producer, releasing in July 2026. She is now dedicated to flipping the script—guiding others (and herself) on the greatest journey of all: finding the love within.
