Step Away from Dr Google: The Fine Line ...

Jennifer Edmonds
About this episode

Let me ask you this – what is the first thing you do when you receive bad news on this journey? 

My first reaction was always to jump onto google and fall down the rabbit hole of TELL ME EVERYTHING. 

When you're dealing with infertility, it's easy to reach for information as a way to maintain control over what's happening.

But there is such a fine line between educating yourself when you're struggling to get pregnant, and completely overwhelming your brain with information. 

So how do we find that balance? On today’s episode I want to share with you the tips that worked for me and so many of my students.


By the time you finish listening, you'll find out: 

  • Why your brain + nervous system keeps you in a state of constant information-seeking
  • How to set yourself up with the right people to support you if you're struggling to get pregnant
  • At what point does searching for infertility information become harmful?


If you would like to submit a question to the podcast, you can do so here! I love hearing your questions and feedback so please let me know how I can support your on your fertility journey.
