Why can't I get pregnant? On the quest to become a mother, you're willing to do anything and everything. You spend endless hours at doctors' offices and online searching for answers-no sacrifice is too great. But there's a reason this doesn't work: it's stressful. Research shows that your state of mind impacts fertility. Still, the mind-body connection is rarely discussed. In Fertile Ground, Spenser Brassard brings the research to life with a new, compassionate approach to conception. After an eight-year fertility journey, Spenser found that trading shame for compassion and restriction for growth strengthens the mind-body connection and can increase fertility by up to 55 percent. With a stronger connection, becoming pregnant is no longer a problem but an opportunity to reconnect with yourself before becoming a mother. Fertile Ground is your fresh start, a book you need to get your body and mind on board so that you can get your baby on board.
