The Egg Whisperer Show

On the latest episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I'm joined by the incredibly compassionate Naomi Woolfson, founder of Embrace Fertility and a trauma-trained hypnotherapist who specializes in helping women feel emotionally supported through fertility treatment.


Naomi shares her own four-year journey through IUI, IVF, miscarriage, and anxiety and how it led her to create The Embrace Fertility Method, a mind-body approach that empowers women to feel calm, confident, and connected as they prepare for pregnancy.


We talk about how powerful the mind-body connection can be during IVF, how to gently shift from fear to hope, and how practices like visualization, EFT tapping, and guided hypnosis can help bring emotional healing and clarity. Naomi even leads us through a beautiful meditation designed to bring comfort and encouragement right now, wherever you are on your journey.


If you're feeling overwhelmed or unsure, this episode is a reminder that you're not alone—and that there are powerful, loving tools to help you move forward with greater peace and strength.


In this episode, we cover:

Naomi's personal story of infertility, IVF, and emotional healing


The Embrace Fertility Method and how it supports the mind-body connection


How to manage emotions and reduce anxiety during fertility treatment


Daily practices like visualization, EFT, and mindset exercises


A guided meditation to help bring calm and clarity on your path to pregnancy

In our discussion, Mary and I are talking about 
💙How Eastern medicine and acupuncture can support fertility treatment
💙Why you should consider acupuncture during fertility treatment
💙What to know if you have a fear of needles
💙How acupuncture can help with the emotional and mental health side of being a fertility patient.


I especially love how Mary explains the focus of Traditional Chinese Medicine, "Chinese medicine literally is about health and longevity and proactive health care. So even when you do fertility treatment, it's like we take care of all of you in mind, body, and spirit."

I'm joined by Dr. Diane Tober, medical anthropologist, researcher, and author of Eggsonomics, a book that exposes the hidden realities of the global egg donation industry. Her NSF-funded research includes nearly 900 survey participants and close to 300 interviews with donors across the U.S., Spain, and beyond.
We talk about the real risks donors face, the ethical complexities of how donors are selected and compensated, and what a more transparent fertility industry could look like for donors, intended parents, and doctors alike.
Read the full show notes on my website.
In this episode, we cover:
Why egg donors often don't feel like "real patients"  and how clinics can do better
The truth about OHSS complication rates and why the statistic that "less than 1%" of those going through egg retrieval may be misleading
How donor compensation in the U.S. varies by education, ancestry, and school prestige
Key differences between egg donation in the U.S. vs. Spain
What donors need to know about donating eggs, and how to self-advocate
How private equity is changing patient care at fertility clinics
Why 90% of donors in Dr. Tober's study actually want a national donor registry
