That version of you that existed before your fertility journey?
Happy-go-lucky, easy, breezy, spontaneous, hopeful about the future.
She gone, baby. She gone.
And the good news is, Rosanne Austin has the game plan for what to do next.
In Episode 399 of the Fearlessly Fertile Podcast, Rosanne gets real about one of the things women on this journey say to her most often: "I just want to go back to who I used to be." She has so much compassion for that feeling. She also lived the fertility journey for seven years and knows exactly why you are never going back — and why that might actually be one of the most powerful things that has ever happened to you.
This episode breaks down the four moves that turn the identity shift of the fertility journey from a crisis into a catapult:
In this episode:
👋 Why the happy-go-lucky, pre-journey version of you is gone — and why fighting that is a waste of your best energy
👋 What acceptance actually means (hint: it is not complacency, not giving up, and not making it mean your life is over)
👋 Why the new you does not have to be worse than the old you — and the mindset trap that keeps women from seeing that
👋 The most useless question on the fertility journey ("why me?") and the one powerful question to ask instead
👋 What "purge to pregnant" means and why clearing your environment of what no longer fits is more powerful than you think
👋 Rosanne's own story: throwing out tens of thousands of dollars in Theory suits because the woman who wore them was gone — and why she has zero regrets
👋 Why high-achieving women who have always operated as lone wolves may feel an inconvenient pull toward community on this journey — and why that is not weakness
👋 The bottom line: you only want to keep the things in your life that affirm the woman you are becoming
