EP61 The HELL YES Experiment

What if the only answer you ever needed, to any question on this journey, consisted of two words? Our decisions and the spirit in which we make them are a critical aspect of our ultimate success. Hemming, hawing, and agonizing over decisions may be the “thing” that blocks you from having what you want most. The 7-day experiment proposed in this episode is a game-changer.

Welcome to the fearlessly fertile podcast, episode 61, the hell yes experiment. Hey loves, can you believe we are on the precipice of wrapping up the weeks and months we have spent as a global community in varying degrees of quarantine and social distancing? It's mind blowing. I bet that when you started 2020, you didn't know social distancing was a thing. I know I certainly didn't. The weeks and months we have spent in this way have unquestionably given us the chance to interrupt the regularly scheduled programming of our lives and really look at our shit. I mean, really look at our shit, not just as individuals, but as a planet. The reduction in pollution is crazy. The amount of global seismic activity has even dropped. Well, except for those of us in Idaho, where we had a 6. 5 earthquake a few weeks ago. Threw my husband and I for a loop as lifelong Californians, because we didn't even know that shit like that happened here in Idaho. But you get the picture. Things have definitely been weird. The loss of life, heartbreaking. And it's clear that when we all emerge from this, it may be a while before we all feel, quote, normal again. I was chatting with a mentor of mine a couple weeks ago and we talked about how this experience in our lives can serve as a crossroads. We can either emerge from this more consciously aware of what's important to us and who we choose to be in that emergence, or we can just rush to go back to business as usual and forget the lessons we've been offered during this strangely precious time. Will we be conscious or will we fall back into the swampy embrace of the normalcy bias that will lull us back to sleep in our lives? Unconscious is a word I would use to describe how I lived a significant portion of my own fertility journey. I got on the hamster wheel and ran till my paws were fucking bloody. I did everything they told me to do, but not a goddamn thing worked. What I was asleep to was the fact that the entire shit show lacked the most critical piece of the puzzle. Me. No treatment, diet, lotion, potion, vaginal steam, or boiled black chicken was going to do shit without me. Just like none of what you are doing will mean or do shit without you. You. Yes, you. And I'm giving it to you straight so you can do better for yourself. Because, look, instead of asking if something was actually right for me, Roseanne Austin, I just fucking did it. I abdicated so much power to people outside of me. It was a complete failure on my part to accept personal responsibility for my results. It's really weird, actually, because I was never a person that would have thought of herself as someone who would abdicate such responsibility.
