EP 162: Path to Parenthood with Kayla

► Get a personalized IVF Toolkit with videos based on where you are (retrieval or transfer) and what's not working (no embryos, low egg count, pregnancy loss, etc.): https://go.tashablasi.com/personalized-toolkit   Meet Kristin. After starting IVF just after turning 42, she found herself feeling defeated. Two rounds at a local clinic left her with disappointing results and one devastating lab error that resulted in her viable eggs being lost entirely. She was ready to give up. Then she connected with Tasha Blasi. What happened next is a powerful reminder that the right strategy can change everything. With a more individualized approach, better protocol execution, and a clinic chosen based on real outcomes data, Kristin's next rounds told a completely different story: stronger results, healthier embryos, and ultimately, a pregnancy. In this episode, Kristin opens up about what was missing the first time around, how lab quality and personalization made all the difference, and why combining science, lifestyle shifts, and a faith-driven mindset helped her keep going. This is a story about resilience, informed decisions, and learning how to move forward without fear especially when the odds feel stacked against you.   ► FOLLOW & LISTEN: Instagram | @tashablasiPodcast on Apple | IVF UncoveredPodcast on Spotify | Listen here Website | tashablasi.com ► TAKING SUPPLEMENTS?

If you're navigating IVF and want clarity, confidence, and a second set of expert eyes on your protocol, this episode is for you. ► FOLLOW & LISTEN: Instagram | @tashablasiPodcast on Apple | IVF UncoveredPodcast on Spotify | Listen here Website | tashablasi.com ► TAKING SUPPLEMENTS?

I'm sharing the hard truths I wish someone had told me sooner, pulled straight from my own experience in the trenches. We talk about why results matter more than research rabbit holes or impressive doctor titles, and how staying focused on your actual goal—building your family—can change everything.   Hear about some of the biggest traps I see clients fall into and we'll also get real about the mental and emotional toll this process takes, and why that side of the journey isn't optional—it's essential. This episode is part tough love, part deep compassion, meant to help you protect your energy, your finances, and your hope, while moving forward with clarity and intention. You're not broken, and you're not alone. 💛 ► FOLLOW & LISTEN: Instagram | @tashablasiPodcast on Apple | IVF UncoveredPodcast on Spotify | Listen here Website | tashablasi.com ► TAKING SUPPLEMENTS?
