HELD IN HER STORIES: Amber’s Story – Worth Isn’t a Number
Hey gorgeous mama-bear,
I’m thrilled to share something brand spankin’ new with you — a special Fertile Ground podcast series called HELD IN HER STORIES.
These are real conversations with women inside my program, Fertility Mind-Body Mastery, who are rewriting and rewiring what it means to trust life, their bodies, and themselves. Each story is a living example of what happens when we stop trying to “get it right” and start letting ourselves be held — by the messiness of our emotions, the safety of community, and the unseen forces conspiring in our favor.
In today’s chat – I sat down with Amber, a returning FMBM member who got pregnant with her first baby inside the program. She came back — not because she was broken — but because she wanted to see what this fertility, this pregnancy, this baby had in store for her.
In this episode, we get into:
The moment Amber realized she’d tied her value to a number—and how she actually untied it.
Why do we so often think we’re failing when we’re really not.
The difference between shame-based self-awareness and compassionate self-awareness — and how one closes you while the other opens you.
What joy actually feels like in the body (think: grilled cheeses, pumpkin carving, laughter at the park) and why receiving your real life now is not “giving up” but getting you closer.
Fear vs. desire: letting your desire be just a little louder so your life can change.
Modeling sovereignty for our kids — trusting ourselves so they learn to trust themselves, too.
She said, “I stopped looking for proof that something was wrong with me, and life got a thousand times easier — even though nothing outside me changed.”
If you’ve done all the work and still secretly wonder, “What’s wrong with me?” — this one’s for you.
And if you felt that spark while listening — the omg, this is what I’ve been needing — Amber is literally a case study for Fertility Mind-Body Mastery. She came back for round 2 — not because she was broken, but because she wanted to see what this fertility, this pregnancy, this baby had in store for her.
Love you,
Spense
