Transcript: Hey gorgeous, if you want success on your fertility journey, you've got to have the mindset for it.

I help women across the globe beat the odds on their fertility journey just like I did. Get ready for a quick hit of confidence, joy, feminine, bad assery, and loads of hell. Yes. For your fertility journey, it's time to get fearless, baby fearlessly fertile. Let's do this. Welcome to the Fearlessly Fertile podcast, episode 67, the number one cause of wasted time and energy on this journey. Hey, loves, this week's episode is inspired by some contemplation that I was doing recently. Can you believe we are almost halfway through the year? It blows my mind that this time, almost three years ago, I was just 22 days from having my son, Asher. I was sooooooo pregnant. My ankles were swelling like crazy, I was agonizing over whether or not I had everything ready for his arrival, and I was obsessively watching YouTube videos of first time moms prepping for their deliveries and undoubtedly sobbing through those videos with so much joy and anticipation. And as a side note, around that time I had hardcore pregnancy lips. I thought Kim Kardashian just made that shit up to hide her face fillers. But I, Roseanne Austin, can personally attest to the fact that pregnancy lips are real. Huge upside, ladies. I can't wait for you to find out for yourselves. And I kind of wish I had them back, but I digress. Rest assured that my reflection on that time wasn't solely about all of those external things. I spent a lot of time, and still do, thinking about the woman I have become and continue to become as a result of my fertility journey. One thing that keeps or kept coming up over and over again is how much time and energy we waste worrying about other people's opinions, triangulating what they might be thinking, and trying to convince others that we are right. In my opinion, it is the number one cause of quote unquote wasted time and energy on this topic. We expend so much energy on shit we can't control and pay very little attention to that which we can.

I can't believe I'm here! I mean, I could believe it, because I had envisioned it, not only being pregnant, but serving women all over the world, and I had developed the mindset of a woman who succeeds in order to support that, and I was taking action from that place, but all of that still blew my mind. Because if I had continued listening to all of the naysayers, haters, and long faced lab coats subordinating my truth to theirs, I know without a doubt, I would not have been there. Just 22 short days from meeting my boy face to face for the first time. At forty fucking three, naturally. In the early days of my journey, I'd get on fertility message boards and social media for hours. I'd be sucked in by all of the bitching and complaining. People whining about how no one understands them,
