THE WHOLESOME FERTILITY PODCAST
#121 Why Your Intuition is Vital for Your Fertility Journey
Everyone is born with intuition. In fact, the intuition is simply another sense that may have not received as much attention or acknowledgment as our other senses – at least not in the scientific world.
We have all had moments where we ignored our intuition only to later regret it. Why do we have such a strong memory of the urge we felt and then later ignored? It’s as if we knew the difference between intuition and thought but simply doubted it.
Join me on this episode as I share the reasons why most of us ignore our intuitive calls and how to evoke and strengthen this amazing sense! When you’re on the fertility journey, it becomes the clarity you need to make important decisions!

#103 Miracles, Spirit Babies, and Post Traumatic Growth! | Dr. Maria Rothenburger
Maria T. Rothenburger, PhD, LPC is a Therapist and Coach specializing in fertility and family building. When infertility reared its ugly head, Maria says she “went a wee bit crazy for 5 1/2 long years and one day spontaneously experienced profound joy.” She states the struggle of infertility is what propelled her toward joy even before she was a mom! She then became obsessed with finding out why she was able to feel so happy even amidst terrible trauma. In fact, she believes it was because of the trauma. Hence, her doctoral research focused on Posttraumatic Growth and Infertility (not the posttraumatic stress that is so prominent in the media). She has since made it her life mission to help others achieve the same growth she experienced. Though she still practices traditional psychotherapy, her passion has become Fertility Coaching around the world involving a four-pronged approach - biological, emotional, social, and spiritual wellness - for movement toward optimal fertility, which she talks about in the Miracles Happen Fertility Podcast. http://www.drmariarothenburger.com
