Download CHAPTER 1 of Fertile Ground
Chapter 1: MIND AND BODY ARE DESIGNED TO WORK TOGETHER
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.

Why it’s normal to feel skeptical about mind–body work

You haven’t gotten to the best part yet!
