Episode 17: Slowing Down to Get Knocked Up with Coni Longden-Jefferson
Manage episode 401856236 series 3530701
What's one of the last things we consider doing on our fertility journeys? After the endless medical appointments, the supplements, the acupuncture, the testing..
Doing...less.
I was always under the impression that more = more when managing fertility. But it took me years and many hard lessons to realise this has the opposite result.
Today's guest will completely shift the way you think about approaching your fertility. Coni Longden-Jefferson is a women's health writer, fertility advocate, speaker and the founder of Nixi Body underwear. She's also on her own fertility journey, and started a campaign last year called "Slowing Down to Get Knocked Up" after she realised how badly the mindset of doing ALL THE THINGS to get pregnant was affecting her.
Today she shares:
- Her own personal journey of fertility challenges which she is currently navigating
- Period shame and how this impacts your fertility
- What "Slowing down to get knocked up" is all about, and how you can get involved
