Hi. I'm Alice.
After my own fertility journey I wanted to support and empower other people facing one too. I needed:
powerful tools to cope
crucial information
must have mindset hacks
connection to a community who got it
So, on board my podcast the Life Raft this is what you'll find.
It's a totally safe space, so you can get cosy and listen to warm, honest, sometimes funny, inspiring and uplifting conversations with leading life coaches; mindset experts, thought leaders, real life patients plus topical news and so much more.
I am determined to make this all just feel much less scary or overwhelming for you, less lonely and much more manageable, whatever your story. It is time to radically change the narrative for people going through all this (and our wider society).
Also, I promise never, ever to tell you to 'just relax'. Not on my watch.
PLUS when you subscribe, rate and review I'll send you a big box of chocolate brownies OK?? The more ratings and reviews we receive, the more people will find it and hopefully use it to build their own Life Raft. (*alright the brownies were a big fat lie, but I will send you a LOT of virtual love).
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Oh, also I have an amazingly positive and lovely Instagram community so come and find us there for more support.
If you're ready to start feeling better right now, head to fertilityliferaft.com where you can find actionable, bite-sized downloads including my best selling 10 day mindset shift course.
Take care,
Axx
I'm so pleased to share this conversation.

Mind-body connection with Dr. Sula Windgassen
Feeling in need of a reset? Take our free quiz to find out what sort of self care will best suit you - because not everyone needs a meditation: https://fertilityliferaft.com/quiz
On this episode, I’m joined by leading health psychologist and author of It's All in Your Body: A Practical Roadmap to Healing, Dr Sula Windgassen, to talk all things mind–body connection and what it means for your fertility journey.
Dr. Sula shares her personal experience of living with chronic, debilitating bladder symptoms that left her feeling dismissed by the medical profession.
When traditional medical routes didn’t provide answers, it was as a last resort she began exploring mindfulness thanks to her Dad's suggestion; she finally found relief and this led to a her research and vocation as a health pyschologist.
This is a MUCH needed voice in the mind-body space...
We talk about:
What the mind–body connection actually means (and what it doesn’t)
The difference between stressors, stress reactions, and your response
Reframing your relationship with your body during infertility
Letting go of self-blame
How mindfulness can change your relationship with symptoms and uncertainty
If you found this helpful please leave a review! It takes 30 seconds and means a lot. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LISTENING!

How yoga changed my life through infertility with Jen Edmonds
Want to find your fertility voyager archetype? Click here to take my quiz and receive a personalised self care report: https://fertilityliferaft.com/quiz
Jennifer Edmonds is one of those people you cannot help but be drawn to online! Her hilarious RELATABLE reels combined with gentle invitations to reconnect to your body through yoga and pilates is so needed in the fertility space.
The founder of Elements Pilates & Yoga, Jen, based in Australia but with a global audience, supports women through infertility and pregnancy loss using fertility yoga, pilates and nervous system work.
Jen shares her own fertility journey in this episode, which includes an early menopause diagnosis in her early 30s, which led to cycles that didn’t respond to IVF medication, and years of trying to understand what was happening in her body.
Against the odds, she conceived her daughter through IVF. But when she later faced secondary infertility, multiple failed treatments and pregnancy loss, everything changed again.
It was discovering yoga during the COVID lockdown that helped Jen reconnect with her body, regulate her nervous system, and slowly rebuild trust in herself.
We talk about:
Being diagnosed with early menopause in your 30s
IVF cycles that don’t go to plan
Secondary infertility and the guilt that can come with it
The role of nervous system regulation in fertility
How yoga and spiritual practices supported Jen through loss and pregnancy
So much of the fertility journey happens in the spaces between appointments.
Those days, weeks and months where you are waiting for answers.
How you care for yourself during those stretches makes a huge difference.
