Powered by RedCircle
Worried about timelines and fertility treatment anxiety?
Feeling the pressure of time on your fertility journey can be overwhelming — and it often pushes people to go faster, try harder, and jump straight into protocols.
In this episode, TRB CEO & Founder Eloise speaks with Danielle Cohen, Certified Integrative Fertility and Hormone Health Coach and Founder of Danielle Fertility, about how slowing down can actually be a powerful part of moving forward.
Danielle works with people across all paths to parenthood — natural conception, IVF, FET, IUI, egg freezing, and third-party reproduction — using a personalized, empathy-led approach. She shares practical ways to handle the emotional weight of timelines, navigate tough decisions, and rebuild trust in your body and the process.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why the “go-go-go” mentality is the default on fertility journeys — and when it can cause fertility treatment anxiety
- Physical and emotional signs that slowing down may actually help
- How rest, nervous system support, and regulation can improve hormones, ovarian function, and fertility outcomes
- Tips for coping with the feeling of “losing time” while pausing
- How to rebuild trust with your body, even with low AMH or ovarian reserve
- How to navigate big decisions like donor eggs or advanced interventions
- A simple permission slip for anyone feeling burnt out, discouraged, or overwhelmed
