Overworked, Burnt Out & Infertile? The Real Reason Women Are Struggling with Fertility with Talie Miller Part 2

Finding Fertility - A podcast by Monica Cox - Fridays

"The frequency of actually guiding a soul towards their own autonomy is the highest level mastery position you could have in this life as a female." Topics Discussed Why modern motherhood feels like a trap & how to break free The illusion of control & how it sabotages your fertility How feminism may have set women up for burnout instead of freedom The real cost of trying to “have it all” & what to do instead How unresolved generational trauma affects fertility & motherhood Why masculine & feminine energy imbalances lead to dysfunction The unexpected ways children mirror your emotional wounds The importance of presence over perfection in parenting How to recognize & break toxic patterns before they pass to your kids "You’re not here to give your man a baby or have a Pinterest-perfect pumpkin patch photoshoot with your child. You’re here to guide a soul. That’s the assignment." Hello, beautiful - Monica here and today, we’re diving DEEP into a conversation that might shake up everything you thought you knew about motherhood, fertility, and, well… life itself. We’re talking about the real reason so many women are burnt out, overwhelmed, and struggling—not just with fertility, but with life balance, motherhood, and relationships. You know that sneaky little voice that says, “You should be doing more”? Yeah, it’s been lying to you. We’re breaking down the illusion of control and how it keeps you trapped in an exhausting cycle of overwork, perfectionism, and self-sacrifice. We’re exposing the dark side of feminism—the part that told us we could (and should) do it all but forgot to mention that “doing it all” comes with a side of adrenal burnout, hormone chaos, and deep dissatisfaction. And let’s talk about generational baggage, because, spoiler alert: If you don’t heal it, your kids WILL carry it. So grab your tea (or wine, no judgment), because this episode is a no-BS, high-energy call to action to start living in a way that actually supports your body, mind, and soul. Let’s break the cycle and build something better—for us, for our children, and for the generations after that. "Women are out here taking care of other people’s kids as teachers and nannies, nurturing other families as nurses, and completely neglecting their own. Tell me how that makes sense."
