In this episode, I’m so excited to welcome Madison Waggoner, a compassionate Ayurvedic Doctor and natural fertility specialist who supports women and couples in preparing their mind and body for pregnancy. Madison blends ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern functional hormone science to help create a fertile, nourishing foundation for conscious conception.

We explore what conscious conception really means and why fertility preparation goes far beyond ovulation tracking and protocols. Madison shares how tending to your “inner garden” — through gut health, hormone balance, and nervous system regulation — can deeply support both fertility and overall well-being.

Madison and I talk about how slowing down, listening to your body, and creating balance before conception can change the entire experience of the fertility journey. This conversation is a beautiful invitation to approach fertility with more intention, softness, and trust in your body’s innate wisdom.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✨ What Conscious Conception Means: Understand how preparing for pregnancy starts long before conception.

✨ The Ayurvedic View of Fertility: Learn how nurturing your “inner garden” supports hormone balance and reproductive health.

✨ The Gut–Hormone Connection: Discover why gut health plays a key role in fertility.

✨ Calming the Nervous System: Why safety, rest, and regulation are essential for conception.

This episode is a gentle reminder that fertility is not something to force — it’s something to support with care and intention. 💛

In today’s episode of The Brilliant Fertility Podcast, I’m sharing reflections from a recent women’s retreat that shifted me on a cellular level. This conversation weaves together conscious conception, conscious parenting, trauma healing, fertility, and the power of women gathering in intentional community. I explore how healing begins long before pregnancy—and how the work we do now shapes the world our children will inherit.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and consider how your inner healing, relationships, and nervous system regulation are already part of your fertility journey and future parenting path.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✨ Conscious Parenting Begins Before Pregnancy: I explore how conscious parenting starts with conscious conception and how healing trauma before pregnancy supports fertility and emotional resilience.

✨ Wisdom from an Indigenous Cacao Ceremony: I share a powerful cacao ceremony experience in Mexico and how plant medicine, ancestral wisdom, and the land deepen our connection to creation and motherhood.

✨ Healing Trauma for Future Generations: We talk about generational trauma, cycle breaking, and how doing our own inner work allows our children to experience more emotional safety.

✨ Nervous System Regulation & Fertility: I reflect on how learning to regulate my own nervous system transformed the way I parent—and why this matters deeply for fertility and pregnancy.

✨ The Power of Women in Community: I share why gathering in intentional women’s circles is essential for healing fertility struggles, reducing isolation, and co-regulating together.

✨ Letting Go of Perfection in Parenting: Conscious parenting isn’t about being perfect—it’s about awareness, compassion, and learning to respond instead of react.

This episode is a gentle reminder that there is no perfect timeline and no perfect parent. Conscious conception and conscious parenting are living, evolving journeys rooted in honesty, healing, and community. If you’re feeling called to do this work—for yourself and for the generations to come—know that you’re not alone. I’m sending you so much love, gratitude, and grace as you walk this path.

Being labeled as “Perimenopause” can feel so overwhelming, especially if you’re also trying to conceive! In this episode, I unpack the truth about perimenopause and fertility, clear up common myths, and remind you that perimenopause does not mean the end of your fertility journey.

We talk about what perimenopause really is, why it can start earlier than many people expect, and how pregnancy can still be possible when your body is supported in the right way.

Since getting good sleep is KEY for thriving through perimenopause I’m including my favorite guide:

10 Steps to Optimize Sleep and Circadian Rhythm

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✨What Perimenopause Actually Means: Perimenopause is simply the transitional phase before menopause—not a fertility deadline.

✨Can You Get Pregnant in Perimenopause?: Yes, you can. If you’re ovulating, there is still a chance of conception each cycle, even during perimenopause.

✨Early Signs and Symptoms of Perimenopause: From subtle cycle changes to insomnia, mood shifts, and heart palpitations, we explore how perimenopause can show up differently for everyone.

✨Why Age Alone Doesn’t Tell the Whole Fertility Story: Fertility is influenced by far more than age—sleep, nutrition, stress, inflammation, and metabolic health all play powerful roles.

✨Lifestyle Shifts That Support Fertility in Perimenopause: Slowing down, honoring your circadian rhythm, prioritizing protein, and deeply nourishing your body can make a meaningful difference.

✨Why Stress and Unprocessed Trauma Matter: I share why unresolved trauma and long-term emotional strain can intensify perimenopausal symptoms—and how listening to your body creates healing.

✨Individualized Support Makes All the Difference: From acupuncture to nutrition and, in select cases, hormone therapy, fertility support in perimenopause must be personalized.

Perimenopause is not a dead end, it’s a transition that asks for deeper care, stronger boundaries, and more self-trust. With the right support, it can become a powerful time of healing and realignment rather than fear.

If you’re navigating perimenopause while trying to conceive, please know you’re not alone and that there are ways to support your body and your fertility through this season. I’m sending you so much love.
