This is the question Rosanne Austin has been sitting with after twelve years of watching women succeed and fail on the fertility journey.
Where are you making this harder than it has to be?
Not as an accusation. As love. As the most useful question a woman in the thick of it can answer honestly.
In Episode 395 of the Fearlessly Fertile Podcast, Rosanne gets specific about the places where high-achieving women unknowingly pile on unnecessary difficulty: the societal shame of simply being on this journey, the receiving problem that stops accomplished women from investing in their own hearts, the Batman identity that refuses to ask for help, the self-esteem wound that comes from an identity built on success suddenly under attack, and the regret that comes from waiting.
And the one thing you have always had, and can always use.
In this episode:
♀️ Why asking "where am I making this hard?" is an act of love, not judgment
♀️ The societal messages that make women torture themselves for being on this journey (and why the data says something entirely different)
♀️ Women over 40 are in a baby boom. What the most recent census actually shows.
♀️ Why high-achieving women have a specific and underacknowledged struggle with receiving
♀️ The Batman identity: why the woman who has everything together refuses to ask for help
♀️ How an identity built on success makes a fertility setback feel like a catastrophic personal failure
♀️ The regret trap: why it is a lie worth walking away from
♀️ The one thing you can always control: your perception
♀️ A paper-and-pen exercise to do right now
♀️ Why the mind and body work together, and what is currently happening between your ears
