In this episode, we're joined by the insightful Coach Tammie from Show Up Society, a self-care strategist who specialises in supporting women through difficult journeys. Tammie challenges the guilt often associated with personal wellness and advocates for a fulfilling life balance.
What we talked about,
Self-Care: Tammie shares her unique perspective on self-care, portraying it as the finest gift one can bestow not only upon oneself but also upon those around us. She describes how this approach can positively impact partners and children.
Empowerment by Taking Charge: Tammie emphasises the importance of focusing on what you can influence during the journey through infertility. She emboldens listeners to take command of their demeanour and outlook, regardless of external factors.
Striking a Balance Between Hope and Reality: Tammie provides insights on navigating the emotional breadth of fertility challenges, advocating for a stance that prepares for the worst while still harbouring hope for the best.
The Potency of Being Present: The dialogue underlines the significance of being in the moment and embracing every emotion — be it joy, hope, grief, or despair — illustrating that eschewing hope doesn't shield us from disappointment but instead deprives us of joy.
Setting an Example: As an exemplar in self-care, Tammie conveys her method of leading by example, reinforcing the notion that attending to one's own needs is not merely permissible but critical.
The Readiness to Endure: The conversation concludes with Tammie's reflections on the necessity of the readiness to persist in the fertility quest in spite of possible obstacles, drawing a parallel with the dual nature of love and loss.
