Why High-Achieving Women Struggle Most With Infertility and How to Start Thriving

High achieving women are often told to try harder.


But in infertility, striving can quietly keep the body stuck.


In this episode of the Love and Science Podcast, Dr. Erica introduces Starting To Thrive, a 12 module course created from over a decade of clinical experience in reproductive endocrinology.


She shares why infertility so often overwhelms the nervous system, why information alone is not enough when the body is in survival mode, and how real transformation begins when the mind and body return to safety.


In this conversation, Dr. Erica explores:

• Why chronic striving increases stress and blocks healing
• How calming the nervous system supports fertility
• The role of authentic hope grounded in science
• Making empowered, values based decisions
• Navigating triggers, bad news, and waiting
• Building support and community in an isolating journey

This episode marks the official launch of the Starting To Thrive Course, which includes a structured 12 week program, practical tools for meaningful change, and 18 CME credits for physicians and other health aligned professionals.


If you have been doing everything right but still feel exhausted, anxious, or stuck, this conversation offers a grounded and compassionate path forward.


You do not need to push harder.


There is another way, and it starts with learning how to thrive.
