Are you exhausted by the monthly rollercoaster of hope and heartbreak, wondering if God’s plan includes the baby you’re praying for after a vasectomy reversal? You’re doing everything you can—clean eating, supplements, tracking ovulation, maybe even testing sperm quality—but each negative test leaves you crushed. The isolation, the financial strain, and watching others get pregnant easily can make you feel like you’re failing or being left behind. You wonder, “What’s wrong with me? Why isn’t this working?” You are not alone. Welcome to Conceiving After Vasectomy Reversal, a faith-based podcast where your struggles are understood, your feelings are validated, and your hope is renewed. This is your safe space to find holistic fertility support, spiritual encouragement, and practical steps to improve your chances of conceiving naturally after a vasectomy reversal. I’m Susan Gladstein, a Board Certified Health Coach, Functional Nutrition & Fertility Practitioner, and a mom who’s been in your shoes. My husband and I faced the endless waiting, the crushing disappointment, and the constant “Why not us?” after his vasectomy reversal. It took prayer, surrender, and a holistic approach to health to finally hold our miracle baby. Now, I’m here to help you meet yours. In this podcast, we’ll cover: - Real-life stories from couples who know exactly how you feel. - Fertility strategies to support both you and your partner—nutrition, supplements, and sperm health. - What doctors don’t always tell you, like why “normal” lab results might not be “optimal” for conception. - Faith-based encouragement and prayers to help you stay hopeful, even when it feels impossible. You’re not crazy. You’re not broken. You’re not alone. You’re walking a hard path, but there is hope. Together, let’s nurture your body, renew your faith, and take confident steps toward the family you’re dreaming of. As Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Even in the waiting, God is working. I’m here to walk alongside you, offering support, guidance, and the belief that He’s preparing you for the family you’ve been praying for.

10. Four Steps to Balance Your Hormones for Better Sleep and More Energy
Monday Sep 16, 2024
Monday Sep 16, 2024
Hey Mama,
Have you ever had one of those nights where you toss and turn, only to wake up more exhausted than when you went to bed? And then, just as you’re trying to power through your day, you hit that 2 p.m. wall—the one that has you reaching for coffee, an energy drink, or anything to give you a quick boost? I’ve been there too, and I know how frustrating it can be when you’re running on fumes and feel like you have nothing left for your family.
I remember when I was juggling everything—our blended family’s schedule, work, trying to get back into shape—and I was a HOT MESS. No matter what I tried, I was either wired but tired, struggling to fall asleep, or dealing with mood swings that seemed to come out of nowhere. And let’s be honest: when we’re running on empty, we’re not giving our best to anyone, especially our families.
But what if I told you that balancing your hormones could be the key to getting better sleep, having more energy, and feeling more like you again?
Whether you’ve just finished your morning walk, survived the school drop-off line, or finally carved out five minutes of peace, get ready to dive into how your hormones affect your sleep and energy.
In this episode, I’ll walk you through four steps you can take to naturally balance your hormones and finally get back to feeling like yourself again.
Let’s get it!
XO,
Susan

09. How to Break Free from Diet Drama: Find Peace with Food and Your Body
Monday Sep 09, 2024
Monday Sep 09, 2024
Hey Mama,
Do you spend your day meticulously tracking what you eat, trying to stick to that diet plan, even if it leaves you feeling hungry, tired, and frustrated? Do you avoid foods you love, labeling them as "forbidden," and even skip social events just to keep your food choices in check? Maybe you exercise, not because it brings you joy, but because you feel like you have to—as if it’s the only way to control your body. And when you see someone else with the "perfect" body, that pit of guilt, sadness, or even anger forms in your stomach.
I know this story well because I’ve lived it. I was trapped in that same Dieter’s Mindset, convinced that if I just tried harder, ate less, and worked out more, I’d finally feel good about myself. But instead, all I found was more stress, more guilt, and a life that felt smaller and smaller. The more I tried to control my body, the less joy I found in my everyday life.
But here’s the good news—there’s another way. In today’s episode, we’re going to unpack these struggles and explore how you can break free from the Dieter’s Mindset. We’ll talk about six practical steps you can take to find freedom from food rules, embrace your body with kindness, and live in a way that honors the beautiful, unique creation that you are. And yes, we’re going to bring in some biblical truths to remind you that you are so much more than a number on a scale.
So, if you’re ready to ditch the diet drama and step into a healthier, happier way of living, stay with me. Let’s dive in!
XO,
Susan

Hey Mama,
Do you ever feel like you're always the last on your own to-do list? Struggling to carve out some 'me time' while juggling everything and everyone? You're definitely not alone. In this episode, I'm chatting with Shelby — a mom, military wife, personal trainer, and former firefighter as she opens up about her journey to finding real self-care through faith, fitness, and therapy—elements that have been game changers in helping her escape the burnout cycle. We'll dive into how you can start putting yourself first, model healthy behaviors for your kids, and break free from old family patterns—all while keeping your faith front and center. If you're fed up with feeling guilty for needing a break and ready to power up, this talk will motivate you to be at your best for the ones you love most.
Thanks for listening!

Susan

Hey Mama,
Can I ask you something? How do your mornings usually go? Do you find yourself hitting the snooze button one too many times, only to wake up in a mad rush trying to get everyone out the door? Are you already feeling drained before the day even begins, with your patience running thin and your stress levels through the roof?
You’re not alone. I’ve been there—scrambling to get the kids dressed, lunches packed, and somehow fit in a half-decent breakfast. It feels like no matter how hard you try, the morning chaos is just too much to handle. And let’s be real, that stress sticks with you all day.
But what if I told you there’s a way to flip the script? What if you could start your day with a sense of control and calmness — no matter how many little feet are running around your house? Sounds like a dream, right?
Well, today’s episode is all about turning that dream into reality. I’m sharing 4 game-changing tips that transformed my chaotic mornings into moments of peace and intention. Trust me, these are lifelines for any mom feeling overwhelmed and exhausted before the sun even comes up.
So if you’re ready to say goodbye to the morning madness and hello to a more peaceful, productive start to your day, stay tuned. We’re about to change all of that, right here, right now.
Thanks for listening!

Susan
