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.

05. Self-Care vs. Self-Sabotage: Morgan's Journey to Finding Balance
Monday Aug 12, 2024
Monday Aug 12, 2024
Hey Mama,
Are you feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure if you're doing enough? If you're struggling to find balance, prioritize self-care, or simply need some encouragement, this episode is for you.
I had the pleasure of sitting down with Morgan, a fellow homeschooling mom of three littles from Tennessee, and we got to dive deep into the topic of self-care vs. self-sabotage and how prioritizing healthy habits can transform your family life.
Being new to homeschooling myself, I was searching for help and discovered Morgan through her amazing Homeschool With Excellence Course. I loved that the foundation of everything in her course was built around prioritizing healthy habits and I love that Morgan is passionate about helping homeschool moms find their sweet spot so they can thrive as the heart of their home.
This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt stories that will inspire you to create a balanced home life.
XO,
Susan
