What happens when we stop trying to follow someone else’s blueprint and begin listening to the wisdom within ourselves?

In this heartfelt episode of Sacred Fertility Flow, Ashley Holmes sits down with longtime friend, fellow co author of Nourished Wisdom: From Leaders Living in Flow & Fulfillment, and Ayurveda educator and practitioner Hannah Levin for a conversation about nourishment, healing, self trust, family, and the many possibilities life can hold.

Hannah begins by making Ayurveda accessible for those who are new to this ancient wisdom. She explains the five elements and the three doshas, Vata, Pitta and Kapha, and why Ayurveda is not a one size fits all diet. Instead, it invites us to understand our unique constitution, listen to our bodies, live more consciously with the seasons and make small, sustainable changes that support greater balance.

Hannah also shares the personal health experience that changed the direction of her life. After being diagnosed with high grade cervical dysplasia and being told she needed surgery, she chose to advocate for herself, seek another medical opinion and explore other options. Her experience ultimately became a catalyst for learning Ayurveda and discovering the work she was meant to share with other women.

Ashley and Hannah then travel to India through conversation, exploring what it was like for Hannah to experience the culture where Ayurveda originated, her time at an Ayurvedic healing centre and the profound sense of connection she experienced there.

The conversation also returns to Nourished, where Hannah wrote about her evolution from depletion, lack and self doubt toward a life of joy, beauty, nourishment and meaning.

And then comes one of the most personal parts of the conversation: Hannah’s experience as a bonus mom.

Hannah shares honestly about joining a family with two children, the fulfillment and joy she has found in helping raise them, the challenges and moments of isolation, and the tremendous lessons she has learned along the way. Her story opens a much needed conversation about the many ways family, motherhood, love and belonging can look.

At its heart, this episode is about possibility.

Hannah leaves listeners with a powerful reminder: we are never stuck. There are always options, perspective shifts and different ways of moving through life.

What if we allowed ourselves to become seeds of potentiality and asked not only, “What is happening?” but “What is possible?”

This is a conversation about Ayurveda, healing, nourishment, self knowledge, motherhood, family, dharma and trusting that life may have a different path waiting for us than the one we originally imagined.

What if your body isn't failing you? What if it's communicating with you?

This conversation with Sarah Lascano is about so much more than energy medicine.

Sarah is a best-selling author, doctor-trusted energy medicine expert, and creator of The Lascano Method™. After experiencing a major health crisis during her first pregnancy and being told by doctors that there was nothing more they could do, Sarah began exploring a much bigger picture of health- one that included the physical, emotional, mental, and energetic body.

In this episode, we bring that perspective into the fertility journey.

What happens when you've spent months or years tracking, testing, researching and trying to find the answer and your relationship with your body has become one of frustration, fear or disappointment?

Sarah and Ashley explore the difference between striving and flow, and why constantly trying to control an outcome can make it harder to hear the quieter information available within us.

We talk about “static” in the body, unresolved emotions, nervous system regulation, subconscious patterns, intuition and what it means to actually listen when your body is trying to get your attention.

Sarah shares a simple practice you can use before bed to create 30–60 seconds of space to ask:

What do I need to know? What do I need to connect with? What do I need to process?

The conversation also explores what happens when we've been given a diagnosis, prognosis or statistic and begin to mistake that information for the boundaries of what is possible.

And perhaps most importantly, we talk about agency.

Not blaming yourself for your fertility journey.

Not ignoring medical care.

Not pretending difficult experiences don't exist.

But recognizing that there may be more available to you when you begin looking within, processing what you've been carrying, calming the noise and allowing yourself to receive guidance.

For me, this was one of those conversations where the questions seemed to arrive exactly when they needed to. Sarah and I repeatedly found ourselves saying, “Yes. Exactly.”

There were more than a few goosebumps moments.

If you've ever wondered whether your body is working against you, this conversation invites you to consider a different possibility:

What if your body is communicating with you and learning to listen could change the way you experience your fertility journey?

What if infertility isn't one problem to solve, but a puzzle with multiple pieces?

In this episode of Sacred Fertility Flow, Ashley Holmes welcomes Dr. Kela Smith, PhD, a women's health and fertility expert who specializes in fertility, hormone health and root-cause healing.

This conversation is also a beautiful full-circle moment. Ashley and Dr. Kela have connected through the years, with Ashley previously appearing on Dr. Kela's Hormone Puzzle Podcast and speaking at her Solving Infertility Summit. Now, they come together on Sacred Fertility Flow to explore what may be missing when women are searching for answers about their fertility.

Dr. Kela shares the personal fertility journey that led her to develop the Hormone Puzzle Method and explains why she believes fertility challenges often require us to look beyond reproductive hormones alone.

Ashley and Dr. Kela explore what can be missed when a woman is told her tests are "normal," including nutrition, gut health, nutrient absorption, stress, nervous system regulation, sleep, exercise, environmental factors and the internal cellular environment.

They also dive into Dr. Kela's six fertility non-negotiables, why fertility optimization isn't about doing everything perfectly, the importance of considering male fertility, and how small, consistent changes can help women feel more empowered in their health journey.

And in a particularly meaningful part of the conversation, Ashley asks Dr. Kela what Sacred Fertility Flow means to her after years of personal and professional experience in the fertility space.

Dr. Kela also shares about her new book, Solving Your Infertility Puzzle, and her free Fertility Puzzle Assessment designed to help women identify where they may want to focus next.

If you've been told "everything looks normal" but you're still searching for answers, this conversation offers another way to look at your fertility journey, not as something that is wrong with you, but as an opportunity to understand your body more deeply.
