#146 - A different type of COVID-19 loss: Pregnancy dreams “on hold” with Fertility Coach Nicola Salmon

Has your fertility or medical care been delayed or disrupted due
to COVID-19? My guest today is Nicola Salmon, author of Fat and
Fertile. We discuss how her work as a fat positive fertility
coach has changed dramatically in the face of COVID-19. You’ll
learn how she is helping people through and it just may help you
grieve the losses you’re feeling at this time, fertility or not.
Plus she shares insight on her own self-care practices as a
higher weight person feeling vulnerable (thank you, crappy weight
stigma misinformation and nasty memes). Nicola shares her
unwavering commitment to her emotional well-being during
quarantine through gentle self-care practices.


About Nicola
Nicola Salmon is a fat-positive and feminist fertility coach and
author of “Fat and Fertile”.


She advocates for change in how fat people are treated whilst
accessing help with their fertility.


Nicola supports fat people who want to get pregnant using her
unique FAT+ve fertility framework to find their own version of
health without diets, advocate for their bodies, relearn how to
trust their body and believe in their ability to get pregnant in
their current body.
