In this episode, Kelsey is joined by Dr. Rachel Corradetti-Sargeant to explore a topic that’s rarely discussed on the Visionary Life Podcast but incredibly important, fertility especially for high-achieving women balancing business and family goals.

Drawing from over a decade of experience as a naturopathic doctor specializing in fertility, Dr. Rachel shares the realities many women face when trying to conceive, the common challenges like PCOS and thyroid imbalances, and how stress and modern lifestyles factors play a crucial role.

We unpack the myth that “women can do it all” without consequences and dive into how timing, understanding your cycle, and environmental toxins impact fertility. Dr. Corradetti-Sargeant shares practical advice on how to navigate this journey without overwhelm, emphasizing self-compassion over perfection.

For entrepreneurs and busy women, this episode is a reminder that while ambition is vital, so is listening to your body, setting non-negotiable wellness habits, and seeking the right support when you need it.

Whether you’re just starting to think about family or deep in the process, Rachel’s wisdom offers clarity and hope.

• Why fertility awareness should start early, especially by your 30s

• Common hidden factors that can impact fertility like PCOS, thyroid issues, and lifestyle habits

• How environmental toxins and everyday choices influence reproductive health
