Episode 164 - HELD IN HER STORIES: Amber's Story – Worth Isn't a Number
Manage episode 518900888 series 2198694
I'm thrilled to share something brand spankin' new with you — a special Fertile Ground podcast series called HELD IN HER STORIES.
These are real conversations with women inside my program, Fertility Mind-Body Mastery, who are rewriting and rewiring what it means to trust life, their bodies, and themselves. Each story is a living example of what happens when we stop trying to "get it right" and start letting ourselves be held — by the messiness of our emotions, the safety of community, and the unseen forces conspiring in our favor.
In today's chat – I sat down with Amber, a returning FMBM member who got pregnant with her first baby inside the program. She came back — not because she was broken — but because she wanted to see what this fertility, this pregnancy, this baby had in store for her.
In this episode, we explore the moment Amber realized she'd tied her value to a number—and how she gently untied it. We talk about why we so often think we're failing when we're really not, and the difference between shame-based self-awareness and compassionate self-awareness — how one closes you while the other opens you. You'll also hear what joy actually feels like in the body (think: grilled cheeses, pumpkin carving, laughter at the park) and why receiving your real life now isn't "giving up" but actually getting you closer. Plus, we dive into fear vs. desire — letting your desire be just a little louder so your life can change — and how modeling sovereignty for our kids helps them learn to trust themselves, too.
"I stopped looking for proof that something was wrong with me, and life got a thousand times easier — even though nothing outside me changed."
If you've done all the work and still secretly wonder, "What's wrong with me?" — this one's for you.
