Fertile Ground: A Mind-Body Approach to Getting Pregnant Without It Taking Over Your Life

By: Spenser Brassard

Narrated by: Spenser Brassard

Why can’t I get pregnant?

On the quest to become a mother, you’re willing to do anything and everything. You spend endless hours at doctors’ offices and online searching for answers—no sacrifice is too great.

But there’s a reason this doesn’t work: it’s stressful. Research shows that your state of mind impacts fertility. Still, the mind-body connection is rarely discussed.

In Fertile Ground, Spenser Brassard brings the research to life with a new, compassionate approach to conception. After an eight-year fertility journey, Spenser found that trading shame for compassion and restriction for growth strengthens the mind-body connection and can increase fertility by up to 55 percent. With a stronger connection, becoming pregnant is no longer a problem but an opportunity to reconnect with yourself before becoming a mother. Fertile Ground is your fresh start, a book you need to get your body and mind on board so that you can get your baby on board.

Great content! Weird narration.

I want to say: the content of this book is gold. I have been on the fertility journey for 4+ years and it’s been so painful. Spenser’s wisdom was refreshing and absolutely perfect.

However, I found her narration to mimic the vocal tone and tenor of a children’s cartoon, like Dora the Explorer. It was tough to keep going at times, but the content pulled me forward. Just a word of warning if you’re sensitive to that kind of narration.

Great content

I have read this book previously and the material is worth its weight in gold if TTC. If you don’t vibe with the audible version I highly recommend reading the book instead.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’m having a hard time listening to this with how the book is narrated. The author is usually an excellent speaker (I’ve listened to her podcast), and very conversational, but I can’t get into the audible version with how she’s narrating.

There’s a consistent pattern of tone and inflection that feels off. It feels too commercial or scripted and less conversational and I find myself zoning out.

For someone that hadn’t listened to her speak previously it may not be a problem. Either way, the material is great so I still highly recommend the written book.
