Preparing for pregnancy isn't just about getting a positive pregnancy test — it's about creating the healthiest possible foundation for yourself and your future child.

In this episode of the Sacred Fertility Flow Podcast, Ashley Holmes welcomes maternal health advocate, author, and founder of the Pre-Motherhood Movement, Khristee Rich, for a thoughtful conversation about preparing the body, mind, and spirit for conception.

Drawing from her own experience of overcoming a life-altering chronic illness through holistic healing, Khristee shares why she believes women deserve better education about fertility, pregnancy, and the entire perinatal journey—not just conception.

Together, Ashley and Khristee explore:

• Why conception is only the beginning of the journey
• How chronic stress, lifestyle, and nutrition influence fertility and pregnancy
• Why both partners play an essential role in preconception health
• The impact of epigenetics on future generations
• Natural nutrition, prenatal preparation, and supporting overall wellness
• The importance of joy, presence, and trusting divine timing
• How to advocate for yourself within the healthcare system
• Practical ways to prepare for pregnancy in the months before trying to conceive

This episode is a reminder that fertility is about far more than reproductive health. It's about supporting your whole self so you can enter pregnancy feeling informed, empowered, and connected to your body.

Whether you're just beginning your fertility journey, preparing for IVF, navigating unexplained infertility, or looking for a more holistic approach to conception, this conversation offers both practical guidance and compassionate encouragement.
