Becky Ackerman, founder of Lily & Bee Fertility Coaching, focuses on creating a thoughtful approach to mindfulness and fertility and has been a guiding light for many. With her permission, we’re thrilled to share her insights with you.


Navigating fertility treatment can often feel like an emotional rollercoaster. A fertility vision board offers a creative, empowering way to gain clarity, set actionable goals, and nurture positivity during your journey.

The Benefits of a Fertility Vision Board

  • Turning Intentions into Actionable Steps

While your ultimate goal might be to have a baby, a fertility vision board helps break that aspiration into smaller, actionable steps that you can control. This clarity can provide direction and a renewed sense of purpose.


  • Empowering Your Mindset

By focusing on achievable goals and positive imagery, vision boards reinforce a sense of agency and optimism, essential for emotional well-being during fertility treatments.


  • Promoting Relaxation and Stress Relief

The act of creating your vision board can be meditative, offering a much- needed respite from the challenges of infertility.


  • Encouraging Positive Thinking

Surrounding yourself with affirming images and words helps shift your mindset toward gratitude, hope, and a focus on what’s within your control.


How to Create Your Fertility Vision Board

  1. Gather Your Supplies

You’ll need a poster board, magazines, scissors, glue, and any optional decorations like markers or stickers.

  1. Reflect and Plan

Spend some time thinking about your goals and values. Becky suggests asking questions such as:

  • What steps can I take to feel good about myself during this journey?

  • What activities bring me joy or relaxation?

  • How can I optimize my fertility naturally?


  1. Find and Collect Inspiring Images and Words

Search for visuals and phrases that resonate with your reflections. You can cut these from magazines, print them, or write them out yourself.


  1. Design Your Board

Arrange your materials on the board in a way that feels meaningful and inspiring. Once you’re happy with the layout, glue everything down.


  1. Display Your Vision Board

Place your finished vision board somewhere visible as a daily reminder of your intentions and the steps you’re taking toward your goals.

Your vision board doesn't have to be literal, but reflect your larger goals and desires. Sometimes posting pictures of babies can actually be harmful rather than focusing on the mindfulness of the board.

Remember, your fertility vision board is uniquely yours—there’s no right or wrong way to create it. Whether it’s a reflection of self-care, actionable goals, or activities that bring you joy, the process of crafting your vision board can help you find clarity, peace, and empowerment.
