Ep 88: What if you didn’t have to rush? Finding fertility through stillness with Ashley Holmes
In today’s soul-nourishing episode of What I Wish I Knew After Pregnancy Loss, I’m joined by Ashley Holmes — a holistic fertility coach, speaker, and mother of three — whose work centers on guiding women back into connection with their bodies, emotions, and deep inner wisdom.
Ashley shares her personal fertility story, from the disempowerment of unexplained infertility to the awakening that came through practices like yoga, Ayurveda, and working with the subconscious mind. Through her own healing, she discovered that rushing wasn’t the answer — stillness was.
We explore:
• Why rushing through the next fertility cycle can quietly work against the body
• The nervous system’s role in fertility, trauma, and healing
• The subtle (but powerful) healing that begins when we tend to grief
• Ayurveda as a tool for emotional and physical balance • How to begin trusting your body again after loss or infertility
• Why healing isn’t a detour — it’s part of the path Ashley’s presence is calm, grounding, and deeply affirming.
This conversation is for you if you’re feeling the pressure to keep going… but your soul is asking you to pause.
