Medicine Mother
Welcome to Medicine Mother. Hosted by Life Coach, Yoga Teacher and Mother, turned Creative, Kate Caddle.
In this podcast I uncover the profound wisdom embedded in the stories of women.
The medicine the world seeks lies within the voices and journeys of mothers—voices of intention, informed by lineage, and laced in deep-seated wisdom.
This podcast shines a light on mothers stories from conception, birthing, matrescence and well beyond, in an effort to help us and in turn, the planet, to reconnect to the innate wisdom within us all and regain the lost connection to soulful purpose.
So, settle in and join me as we rediscover our innate wisdom and lovingly enjoy the stories of one another.
Welcome, to Medicine Mother.

Episode 80 : Infertility, IVF and Pregnancy with Fabienne of YCL
I have loved and followed the journey of YCL for years now, but only recently discovered the founder and creative director, Fabienne, on social media. I quickly learned she is a fellow Taurus, I can just pick them! But I also learned that Fabienne’s journey to motherhood was a complicated one.
I got in touch right away, and I couldn’t be happier to be sharing her story with you today.
From not wanting to be a mother, to discovering her nurturing side and knowing motherhood would be part of her path, then discovering that conception would be a little different for her and her partner. Fabienne shares with openness and vulnerability, and I know that her story will bring validation to those on their conception path.
Fabienne is the creative director and founder of YCL Jewels. She began working in aged care as a nurse when she was 15 and went on to study a Bachelor of Nursing at ACU in Brisbane after Highschool. In 2013 she left her stable career & university degree (just two subjects short of graduating) to pursue her love for jewellery making full time. Fabienne is entirely self-taught in jewellery design and has no formal training in jewellery making or business.
Fabienne has dedicated herself to building a beautiful and intentional brand with YCL now exporting to over 100 countries globally, with main international export countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, & Germany.
At the time of recording, Fab is 36 weeks pregnant.
In this episode we talk about…
- How Fab didn’t want to be a mother, and what changed that
- How her pregnancy has been, and why the night be we recorded she was thrown off
- How Fab’s plans for birth have changed at this point, and how she is working through that
- Her journey with IVF, including egg collection, hormones, embryo’s, failed transfers and eventually pregnancy - and everything in between
- How she plans to spend her postpartum period
And so much more.
