If you've ever felt like your body is working against you on your fertility journey, this episode might be the missing piece.

Rachel sits down with Laetitia Felix, fertility and pregnancy coach, mind-body practitioner, and founder of Mindset Body and Soul, to talk about something that doesn't get nearly enough airtime: your nervous system.

We get into Laetitia's own personal experience, what she sees showing up again and again in her clients, and how chronic stress and unprocessed loss can keep your body stuck in fight or flight and why that matters.

We cover:

• Why the nervous system plays such a central role in fertility and loss
• The signs your body might be stuck in survival mode
• How Laetitia works with clients to shift from fight or flight into rest and digest
• The mind-body connection

Whether you're in the middle of treatment, navigating loss, or just starting out, this one's worth a listen.

If you’ve experienced miscarriage, especially recurrent pregnancy loss, you may have been told that everything “looks normal.” But for some couples, the missing piece lies within their genetics.

In this episode, we’re joined by embryologist and Director of Embryology at The Evewell, Emma Whitney to explore how genetic testing, including karyotyping, can help uncover hidden causes of miscarriage and fertility challenges. We break down what karyotyping is, how it works, and why it’s often recommended after two or more pregnancy losses.

We discuss how chromosomal variations, such as balanced translocations, can be present without any obvious symptoms, yet still impact embryo development and implantation. Emma also explains how genetics plays a key role in IVF, including the use of preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), and how this can support more informed decision-making moving forward.

This episode is designed to give you clarity, reassurance, and practical next steps, whether you’re trying to conceive naturally or considering fertility treatment.

In this episode, we cover:

• What karyotyping is and what it can reveal about your fertility
• The link between genetics and recurrent miscarriage
• What balanced translocations are and how they affect pregnancy outcomes
• When to consider genetic testing if you’re trying to conceive (TTC)
• How IVF and genetic testing (PGT) can support healthy embryo selection
• What your options are if a genetic factor is identified

If you’re searching for answers after loss, this conversation offers expert insight and a compassionate, evidence-based perspective on your next steps.
