“Hi, my name is Nadia. I live in Dubai in the UAE, and I completed Fertile From Within in 2025. I’m currently in my third trimester of pregnancy. What I know now that I wish I’d known at the beginning of my fertility journey is that fertility isn’t just about doing more.
I came into this journey the way I approached everything else in life. Researching, planning, analyzing, trying to find the perfect protocol and the next thing I could do to improve my chances. What Lauren taught me was that there was another side to fertility that I had completely overlooked. My nervous system, my emotions. And my relationship with my body.
The biggest shift for me was learning that I didn’t have to live in a constant state of fear, urgency, and hypervigilance. I learned how to create more safety, trust and calm within myself. Even when things felt uncertain. The work helped me reconnect with who I was outside of fertility. It helped me stop seeing my body as something that was failing me, and start seeing it as something that deserved compassion, support, and trust.
Whether you’re trying naturally, going through IVF, or somewhere in between. These are tools that stay with you far beyond conception. I still use many of them now during pregnancy.
If you’re feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or like fertility has taken over your entire life. I would just say there’s another way to do this journey, and I’m so grateful I found Lauren in the work when I did.”
