What the F — Rise Beyond Fertility
What the F — Rise Beyond Fertility is for the woman whose life got turned upside down by TTC, IVF or pregnancy loss… and who knows this journey cracked open something deeper than hormones, scheduling, appointments and test results.
This is not a podcast about “staying positive” or waiting patiently for your turn.
It’s about identity, grief, anger, culture, pressure, relationships, self-worth and the quiet question so many women are afraid to say out loud:
Who am I becoming through this?
Hosted by Tina Padia — Fertility & Life Coach blending neuroscience, NLP and emotional healing this podcast goes beyond clinics, timelines and medical protocols. We talk about the emotional and cultural layers of fertility, the parts no one prepares you for, and what it really takes to feel safe in your body and confident in yourself again.
If you’ve ever felt lost, resentful, disconnected or like your life has shrunk to two lines on a stick… you’re not broken. You’re in transition.
Fertility may be the doorway.
But this is about rising beyond it.
Rise Beyond Fertility - The RISE Reset - A 5-day journey back to yourself
If you’re currently going through TTC or IVF or are somewhere inbetween and you’ve been feeling like you can’t keep doing this the same way emotionally, I’ve created something for you.
From 16–20 March, I’m hosting a free live Zoom experience:
12.30PM GMT | 8.30PM SGT | 7.30AM EST
This isn’t about “just staying positive" or "pushing harder" or "doing more".
It’s 5 days of guided nervous system regulation, subconscious mindset shifts and emotional support designed to help you feel steadier inside while you move through treatment.
This is the same foundational work I use inside my private coaching programs, now offered in a live, accessible format.
If you’re ready for this chapter to feel different, I would love to welcome you.
It’s free.
It’s live.
And you don’t have to share or speak if you don’t want to. You can simply come and receive.

Ep. 40 - When “just stay positive” makes you want to lose it
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
“Just stay positive” is usually meant with good intentions, no harm or people being intentionally cruel.
But when you’re already overwhelmed, exhausted or emotionally stretched, those words can trigger you and make you completely spiral.
In this episode, we explore why being told to stay positive can feel so unsupportive during a fertility journey. We talk about emotional honesty, the nervous system and why forcing optimism isn’t the same as being resilient.
This is a space where you don’t have to be upbeat, hopeful or okay. You’re allowed to feel what you feel, without judging yourself for it.
If positivity feels like too much right now, this conversation is for you.
Journal prompts to explore after listening:
- What happens in my body when someone tells me to “stay positive”?
- What do I actually need in those moments instead?
- Where have I been forcing myself to be okay when I’m not?
- What would self-kindness look like for me today, without needing to feel positive?
You don’t need to fix anything here.
Just notice.
