In this episode of What the F – From Infertility Exhaustion to Peace, Tina talks about the emotional impact that social media has on women going through IVF and fertility struggles. She discusses the pressure to share your fertility journey online and how it can sometimes create unrealistic expectations that add unnecessary stress. Tina opens up about the "fertility perfection" myth. The idea that everyone else’s IVF journey is smooth and easy, while yours may feel like a constant freakin' emotional rollercoaster.
Tina shares her own experience with feeling disconnected as she compared herself to others online, and how she overcame this by shifting her mindset. She also introduces NLP tools like reframing and breathwork to help listeners release the pressure of comparison and focus on their own unique journey of fertility and life in general.
This episode encourages women to step back from the social media highlight reel, reconnect with themselves, and reclaim their emotional well-being. It’s a reminder that you don’t have to perform for an audience and that your experience is valid, and self-compassion is key to navigating the highs and lows of IVF.
