Stressed, carrying everyone's emotional burdens, going through fertility treatments that weren't aligned with her values
Key Shift
Set boundaries with family, stopped carrying others' stress, focused on self-care and meditation, applied manifestation techniques
After
Relaxed, boundaried, focused on positivity, trusting her body and intuition
Anu's journey began with devastating news - less than 1% chance of conceiving at 43. But instead of giving up, her lifelong rebellious streak kicked in. She decided to focus on being part of that tiny percentage rather than the overwhelming odds against her, setting the stage for her miraculous natural conception at 44.
Working with a Chinese medicine doctor, Anu learned that her womb was too 'cold' from eating cold foods. By warming her internal environment and viewing her womb as her child's palace, she began preparing her body holistically while stepping away from stressful medical protocols that didn't align with her evolving values.
Anu's breakthrough came when she adopted the motto 'it's not my shit to carry' and stopped taking on everyone else's emotional burdens. She set firm boundaries with family, eliminated drama and stress, and focused solely on creating positive energy around her fertility journey.
During COVID lockdown, while practicing manifestation techniques and meditation, Anu conceived naturally. The pregnancy test came back positive on July 16th - the exact anniversary of her mother-in-law's death, creating a profound spiritual connection that confirmed this baby was meant to be.
“You beat the odds. I mean, normally okay. Okay. Because this is why this is such an important story and this is such an important truth to be sharing is most of the time when people hear you have a less than one percent chance, they hang it up, they let go of the dream, they walk away. You didn't.”

Yes, it's absolutely possible. Anu conceived naturally at 44 after doctors told her she had less than 1% chance. She focused on mindset work, stress reduction, and holistic approaches rather than dwelling on the statistics.
“So I feel like we need to be our own cheerleader, and because, you know what? A doctor can tell us physically what they see potentially might be happening inside of us. But as a woman, we're very in tune with our own bodies.”
— Anu▶ 34:22
Focus on the percentage chance you do have rather than what you don't. Be your own cheerleader and trust your body knowledge. Take statistics with a grain of salt and don't let them be the final word on your fertility.
“your internal temperature in your womb is cold. Would you want your child to be born in a cold room? I said, absolutely not. He's like, we refer to the womb as a child's palace.”
— Anu▶ 6:24
Warm your internal environment through diet (avoid cold foods), reduce stress, set boundaries, practice meditation, and trust your body's wisdom. Focus on creating a welcoming 'palace' for your baby rather than just physical interventions.
“my OB GYN told me, she's like, you're one of the youngest people that I have right now in terms of who's delivering. She's like, the last few deliveries I've had, two of the women were forty seven, another one was forty six.”
— Anu▶ 39:12
While medical statistics suggest very low odds, real women are proving these statistics wrong. Fertility practices report regular deliveries from women in their mid-40s, with 44 being considered relatively young in some practices.
“I had stopped sort of Googling chances of getting pregnant, how to get pregnant naturally, etcetera, all that stuff, and I was on Facebook, and your ad popped up for your book.”
— Anu▶ 10:11
Anu stopped fertility treatments that weren't aligned with her values, focused on stress reduction, set boundaries with family, practiced meditation and manifestation, and trusted her body's wisdom. She conceived during COVID lockdown when she was most relaxed.
“My family, bless their heart, I have a huge family. My parents and my siblings, I sat down even before I told them I was pregnant. I said to them, listen, I've eliminated any stress or tension in my life, but the only people that cause me stress and thrive on drama are you guys.”
— Anu▶ 32:48
Stop carrying other people's emotional burdens, eliminate drama and stress from family relationships, surround yourself only with positivity, and put your needs first. Your motto should be 'it's not my shit to carry.'
Anu's step-by-step approach to conceiving naturally at 44 with less than 1% odds
Reframe the statistics
Focus on being part of the small percentage who succeed rather than dwelling on the odds against you
Warm your internal environment
Work with a Chinese medicine practitioner to eliminate cold foods and create optimal conditions in your womb
Set emotional boundaries
Stop carrying other people's stress and drama, adopt the motto 'it's not my shit to carry'
Practice manifestation
Use post-it notes with intentions, visualize your future baby, and create a space for them in your home
Trust your intuition
Listen to your body's wisdom over medical statistics and trust the signs you receive
Eliminate stress
Remove yourself from situations and treatments that don't align with your values
When doctors give you a less than 1% chance, focus on being part of that 1% rather than dwelling on the 99% odds against you
Anu was told at 43 she had less than 1% chance of conceiving, but she decided to focus on being part of that 1% and conceived naturally at 44, now 17 weeks pregnant.
Your womb is your child's palace - if it's cold inside from eating only cold foods, you wouldn't want your child born in a cold room
Anu's Chinese medicine doctor told her to stop eating cold foods to warm her internal temperature, which was part of her holistic approach before conceiving naturally at 44.
The minute we lose our compassion in our profession, we need to take a step back and ask ourselves what is going on
Anu observed her first fertility doctor wasn't wearing her wedding ring during their appointment but wore it in promotional videos, recognizing the doctor's personal issues shouldn't affect patient care.
If someone says I can't do something, I like to prove them wrong - this has been my motto since I was a kid
When told she had less than 1% chance at 43, Anu's lifelong rebellious streak kicked in and she decided to prove the doctors wrong, ultimately conceiving naturally at 44.
My new motto is 'it's not my shit to carry' - I was carrying everybody else's stuff and couldn't allow a life to be reborn in me
Anu realized at 44 she was carrying everyone's emotional burdens, which blocked her ability to conceive. After setting boundaries and focusing on herself, she conceived naturally.
We need to be our own cheerleader because a doctor can tell us physically what they see, but as women we're very in tune with our own bodies
Despite being told she had less than 1% chance, Anu trusted her body knowledge over statistics and conceived naturally at 44, proving the power of self-advocacy.
The fertility clinic process wasn't aligned with who I was becoming as a person - seeing lineups of women at 7am made me realize we're working on the physical part but what about the internal part
After three months of fertility treatments, Anu realized the medical approach was missing the internal/emotional component and stopped treatments, conceiving naturally a year later at 44.
I saw this little face, a baby's face, in between sleep around the time I conceived - the universe was giving me hope not to give up
Anu had a vision of her baby's face around conception time before knowing she was pregnant, similar to Rosanne's experience of 'knowing' her son was coming before conceiving naturally at 43.
We found out I was pregnant on July 16th, which was the third year death anniversary of my mother-in-law - she gave us our gift
Anu discovered her pregnancy on the exact anniversary of her mother-in-law's death, seeing this as a spiritual sign after conceiving naturally at 44 with less than 1% odds.
Age is nothing but a number - my OB GYN said I'm one of the youngest patients, with recent deliveries from women at 46 and 47
Anu's doctor confirmed that at 44, she's among the younger patients, with recent natural births from women aged 46 and 47, reframing the 'geriatric pregnancy' label.
When doctors give you a less than 1% chance, focus on being part of that 1% rather than dwelling on the 99% odds against you

CONSIDER: Focus on being part of that 1% rather than the 99% you can't control
“If you're not stressed and obsessive about fertility, you don't care enough”
CONSIDER: Relaxation and focusing on yourself creates the optimal environment for conception
“After 40, pregnancy is automatically high-risk and unlikely”
CONSIDER: Many women are having healthy babies in their mid-40s naturally
“If someone says I can't do something, I like to prove them wrong.”
“We refer to the womb as a child's palace.”
“It's not my shit to carry.”

EP261 It’s Not Too Late To Have Your Baby: A Conversation with Tsao-Lin Moy
A Chinese medicine expert reveals why the statistics telling you it's 'too late' are complete BS and shares the fertility wisdom that's been working for thousands of years.
250th Episode Celebration!
What happens after you bring your miracle baby home? Past Miracle Mamas reveal how the fearlessly fertile mindset continues transforming their lives years later.
Age-based fertility predictions are often premature and devastating, but not definitive verdicts
Heather was told at 41 she had 'no chance' of having a baby due to her age combined with endometriosis and low AMH, yet conceived naturally at 46 and delivered Emily at 47.
Finding the right medical team that supports your vision is crucial for success
Heather left the first doctor who said she had no chance at 41 and found Dr. Chek's team who embraced her journey and helped her achieve pregnancy at 46.
Biological age and chronological age are not the same thing, and fertility statistics are heavily skewed because they only track women who are struggling, not the general population who conceives naturally
Tsao-Lin Moy notes that no one keeps track of how many women get pregnant over 40 or even at 50 naturally, creating a data bias that makes age-related fertility decline appear worse than reality.
The one-year mark for trying to conceive is an arbitrary standard that doesn't account for individual differences, as no one is standard and we're all unique like snowflakes
Moy questions who decided that a year sets the standard for everyone, emphasizing that Chinese medicine focuses on personalized protocols rather than one-size-fits-all timelines.
