#146 Born Without a Uterus, Jennifer Gobrecht Found a Way to Become Pregnant!
Jennifer Gobrecht was told by doctors at age 17 that she was unlikely to have a child because she was born without a womb. This was because Jennifer has a rare genetic condition referred to as MRKH and occurs in 1 in every 14,500 women. Jennifer signed up for a trial at Penn Medicine to received a uterine transplant in 2018 which was a very complicated procedure that took 10 hours. After her long and difficult journey, Jennifer became pregnant and welcomed a beautiful baby boy. I am so excited for you to hear her miraculous story!

#137 The Power of the Neutral Mind
What does it mean to be in the neutral mind? The neutral mind can be compared to the eye of the storm. We experience something, anything, and we provide it meaning. Most of that meaning exists in the positive and negative mind. The positive mind will say “this is amazing, but I’m afraid to lose it” and this causes suffering from clinging. The negative mind will say “this is horrible, it needs to end” and this causes suffering from resisting. This “push and pull” is often taught about in Buddhism as one of the aspects of our suffering, and the neutral mind which is where we observe with non-judgement is where we can obtain the peace and clarity that exists in the eye of the storm. Listen in to find out how this can be applied to the fertility journey!

Join me in this episode as I speak about an important topic that rarely gets addressed – identifying with labels. Labels can come from a diagnosis, prognosis, self-diagnosing, self-doubt, people’s opinions and so on. But are they based in truth? Many times they aren’t. Listen in to find out more!
