Fertility Life Raft

New podcast episode!
Comment Pod for the link or send me a dm.

Someone once said - after I released my most downloaded little piece of content ever (self compassion for a pregnancy announcement meditation)- that no amount of meditating would change how announcements would impact how she felt about them

And I got it. I really did.

And…I also know this is called a fixed mindset; if we believe nothing will change it…won’t.

A growth mindset believes things CAN change and that’s what I talk about in this episode of the pod - as well as subconscious fertility patient blame (a phrase I coined a while ago) cos we can’t talk about mindset without addressing society’s lack of understanding.

It goes together.

I’m a transformative coach and I support my clients and members all the way though fertility and beyond to radically transform the stories they tell themselves so they change their lives even when they go through infertility 🙏🏻

How do you feel about this? I’m really open to the conversation on it, talk to me 💛

I LOVED this conversation with who is bringing such a breath of fresh air to my social media feed.

I knew I had to have her on the pod as - if you’ve been here a while you’ll know - living and waiting at the same time is what I’m really about.

Lindsey has experienced three pregnancy losses and is now going through IVF with genetic testing...but this conversation really isn’t about treatment, even though it is of course a big part of the story.

It’s about what happens to your life when everything begins to revolve around “maybe this month.”

We talk about Lindsey’s story so far; how she’s managing social media and why it’s so important to trust your doctor.

We also break down an Instagram post Lindsey shared that resonated with thousands of women: her decision to stop putting life on hold while trying to conceive and how she’s planning to do it, including things like:

✨To buy clothes she enjoys now; not for pregnancy.
✨To plan holidays even if treatment might interrupt them.
✨To do things that bring joy without attaching them to fertility outcomes.

Living does not mean you don’t cry or find some days really hard too - and enjoying your life does not reduce your chances.

If you feel like everything is paused…
If you feel guilty making plans…
If you’ve been measuring your life in cycles and months…

You’re going to love this conversation, comment LIFE and I’ll send it over for you.

And a huge thank you to Lindsey for chatting with me. Your content is inspiring thousands of people.

I saw the most beautiful reel recently and I don’t know who it was - but!

It made me feel HOPEFUL.

I’ve been on Instagram for nearly 8 years and lemme tell ya, I had never seen anything like this before.

Maybe it was happening somewhere-but it certainly wasn’t usual and it definitely didn’t happen when I was going through infertility

It was simple: Women coming together, as a surprise gathering for their close friend.
Candles, hugs, laughing, gifts, holding hands, listening.

And look - I know this wouldn’t be for everyone.

But imagine if it was normal?! To hold a fertility circle and help that person in your life feel SO seen and heard and cherished and nourished with care and compassion?

Imagine the positive impact on your nervous system, mindset and energy?

I hold monthly women’s circles inside the life raft & everyone has the opportunity to speak if they want to (no pressure) because: women gathering in circle is powerful.

We’ve done it for centuries and tuning into this ancient wisdom holds a sort of strength that can’t be easily explained: you have to feel it to understand.

So while we wait for things to keep progressing in the normal world, the life raft is here for you, serving the community every single day; as we have done since 2020 ✨putting the soul back into fertility support, where it should have been all along.

Self blame in my experience, is rife in the fertility world.

It’s one thing to take ownership of our fertility, but becomes deeply problematic when we start blaming ourselves if things don’t go the way we hope.

In this episode of the podcast, I’m joined by .sekhon , a reproductive endocrinologist, IVF specialist, and author of The Lucky Egg.

She’s guided thousands of women through IVF, egg freezing and conception… and she’s also been a patient herself.

We talk about lots of the things I see every single day in my work.

The belief that if a cycle didn’t work, you must have done something wrong. You worked too much. You exercised too hard. You didn’t relax enough. You ate the wrong thing. You were stressed.

Dr. Lucky explains why, biologically, that usually isn’t true.

We talk about:
✨Her own experience of cancelled cycles, self-blame and IVF emotions
✨Why “being perfect” during treatment doesn’t determine the outcome
✨The overlooked role of s***m in embryo development
✨Red flags to watch for in online fertility advice
✨What a good fertility clinic relationship should feel like

Many women try to control fertility by controlling themselves, their food, their routines, their stress, their bodies.

But fertility treatment doesn’t work like a test you can revise harder for.

If you’ve ever replayed a cycle in your head…
If you’ve ever believed a failed transfer was your fault…
If you’ve ever thought “maybe I ruined my chances…”

Comment podcast and I’ll send the episode to you or find the Fertility Life Raft podcast wherever you get your pods!

This week on the podcast I’m joined by Chloe Sowter. She’s an IVF mother of one, a travel influencer and executive coach, a former HR director - and a previous coaching client of mine.

Chloe brings a deep understanding of what it means to hold ambition, grief, identity, and hope all at the same time.

We talk about navigating IVF, miscarriage, and loss while continuing to lead, deliver, and perform and believing, like so many women do, that infertility was her problem to manage, without burdening anyone else.

We talk about:
- How work can be a lifeline, not a threat, during infertility
- Why stress is often misunderstood in fertility conversations
- The emotional reality of miscarriage that doesn’t fit neat timelines
- Making the deeply personal decision to be “one and done”
- Letting go of embryos and what that really requires
- And an incredible decision Chloe made which moved me so much…

Fertility can challenge your identity, your confidence, your sense of safety at work, and your beliefs about who you’re allowed to be.

Relief this way 👇🏽

Right listen up I really need you to read this several times and take notes!!

1. truth is positive

Don’t gaslight yourself because a manifesting podcast told you only positive thoughts will do. No. That’s not how manifesting works.

Rage, anger, jealousy and grief ? Welcome to planet earth! Congrats…you’re a human, here’s a massive hug 🫂 and ps when you let yourself feel: this IS positive!

2. Self compassion is strength

The kinder we speak to ourselves AND the stronger our boundaries (like saying no to that baby shower) the more we build self trust and self love.

Self trust = clearer intuition.

Intuition = better, quicker decisions and less ‘what the f**k do we do NOW” when the clinic call & say they can’t fit you in on a Saturday but that’s when you need a scan to check on the follicles you’re taking so much care to nurture.

To summarise:

Truth is positive
Self compassion is strength

Practice these and you’ll change your entire life, not to be dramatic or anything.

Which do you love most?

Take care, Alice x

This doesn’t help the ache to have kids, I know- but when you hear someone talking about the fact that their kids have given their life meaning...this does not mean that yours has none if you haven’t got them.

Your life has so much meaning, importance and you are a GIFT to the world ok?!

We need you to remember this.

✨Save for a reminder

I’m joined by Jenny Wordsworth, founder of , who support fertility through innovative products and supplements after going through it personally and knowing there was something missing.

It’s a brand that has never felt like a “brand” to me, but an ally in the background saying: we see you, and we won’t lie to you.

And trust me pals, I am verrrrry choosy about who I work with!! But when Jenny asked if she could add a meditation from me inside her pregnancy test boxes I knew she was a truly good egg (pun intended 🤓) and you really do have to find the good eggs in this industry!

If you’ve ever felt blamed or rushed into a fertility product purchase then this episode is for you.

We talk about:

Why emotional support belongs in fertility care from the very beginning
Bringing MEN into the fertility conversation as standard!
The myth of “silver bullet” supplements
What ethical fertility care actually looks like
The one question Jenny believes every IVF clinic should ask you

Commend O**m and I’ll send you the link to listen x

No thank you fertile people! We don’t need your advice.

We know you’re trying to help but here’s what really helps:

✨Listening

✨Sending us nice things💐

✨Inviting us to events (but also know, it might be a bit much so not taking offence if we can’t actually come on the day)

✨Giving us a heads up if you’re announcing a pregnancy on a text before the group dinner

✨Just generally being cool and understand what we’re going through isn’t for lack of trying and effort…so giving advice on something we already have researched to death is bypassing our experience and we realllllly need our mates and family to be our safe space!!
