Episode Details

Why do the holidays feel so much harder when you are trying to conceive?

In this episode, Dr. Leah sits down with integrative mental health consultant Sadie Ackerman to talk about the complex emotions that often come up during the holiday season for women on the fertility journey.

From feeling triggered by pregnancy announcements to navigating grief, anger, and disappointment when you do not have the baby you hoped for, this conversation offers a compassionate and honest look at what many women experience but rarely talk about.

We also explore how to move through family gatherings, social events, and relationship dynamics during this time without feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself.

Even if you are not trying to conceive, the tools and mindset shifts shared in this episode can help you navigate emotional triggers, relationships, and expectations during the holidays with more awareness and ease.

If the holidays feel heavy this year, this episode will remind you that you are not alone and give you practical ways to support yourself through it.
