Letting Go of Emotional Pain: The Key to Fertility, Healing & Self-Love

What if the fastest way to feel better… is to fully feel? 💭 In today’s episode, we explore the deep connection between emotional resilience, trauma healing, and fertility. Whether you’re navigating loss, fertility struggles, or emotional overwhelm, this conversation is for you.

Many of us were never taught how to process emotions, leading us to numb out with Netflix, food, or distractions. But what if instead of avoiding the pain, we learned how to move through it?

This episode reveals a groundbreaking two-phase approach to emotional healing that transforms not only fertility journeys but every aspect of life.

Joined me this episode is Rachel Kaplan, a nearly two decade long psychotherapist who was impacted by a horrific adolescent trauma and has spent the last 30 years truly overcoming said trauma and studying & synthesizing what genuine, lasting healing and resilience looks like and the most necessary tenets of this path are. She has a podcast, thriving practice, lead retreats, offer workshops and DIY healing courses. For fun, Rachel love exercise, live music, the desert, and fashion and design. "Feel Heal and Let that Shit Go: Your Guide to Emotional Resilience and Lasting Self Love"

What You’ll Learn:

🔹 Why emotional pain is like digestion—and how to "let it go" naturally

🔹 How repressed emotions create anxiety, depression, and burnout

🔹 The 2-phase approach to emotional healing (Parts Work & Emotional Release)

🔹 How unprocessed trauma affects fertility & how to heal holistically

🔹 Practical exercises to feel your feelings without getting overwhelmed

🔹 Why true resilience comes from embracing ALL emotions—not just the good ones

If you’ve ever felt stuck, disconnected, or unworthy, this conversation will help you reconnect with yourself, release emotional burdens, and move forward with confidence.
