Fertility Stress, Grief & Burnout: Tiny Shifts That Actually Help (with Elisha Goldstein)
Beyond AMH Podcast with Dr. Marc Sklar
207 views
Trying to conceive can take over far more mental and emotional space than you expect.
You’re noticing every symptom, thinking about what happens next, comparing yourself to others, and trying to hold onto hope while preparing for disappointment.
In this episode of the Beyond AMH Podcast, Dr. Marc Sklar sits down with psychologist, mindfulness teacher, and Tiny Shifts author Dr. Elisha Goldstein to talk about the mental load of fertility struggles and what can help when it all starts to feel overwhelming.
This is not a conversation about “just relaxing.” Marc and Elisha explore why uncertainty can keep us stuck in cycles of fear, comparison, and future-focused thinking, how stress can show up in the body, and how small shifts can help us respond differently.
Elisha also shares the four-step framework from Tiny Shifts: Recognize. Release. Refocus. Reinforce.
They also talk about relationships, different coping styles between partners, intimacy during TTC, and how to create more connection during an incredibly stressful season.
