What if the fertility journey is inviting you to remember who you truly are?

In this episode of Sacred Fertility Flow, Ashley Holmes sits down with yoga teacher, meditation guide, somatic practitioner, author, and artist Yvette Lehmann for a thoughtful conversation about self-discovery, healing, and reconnecting with your authentic self through yoga, meditation, and creativity.

Yvette shares her powerful concept of "The Great Forgetting and The Great Remembering"—the idea that many of us lose touch with our true nature through conditioning, expectations, and life experiences, and that practices like yin yoga, restorative yoga, meditation, and creative expression can help us find our way back.

Together, Ashley and Yvette explore how these practices can support women navigating infertility, IVF, secondary infertility, and other fertility challenges by creating space to listen to the body's wisdom, process emotions, and cultivate greater self-awareness.

They discuss the difference between active and receptive yoga practices, the importance of learning to receive, and how meditation can help quiet the noise of the mind so we can hear what our bodies are trying to tell us. Yvette also shares how creativity—including mandala drawing, art, and journaling—can reveal patterns, beliefs, and insights that support healing and personal growth.
