EP109 276 Days. Use Them Wisely

Rosanne challenges women to use the remaining 276 days of the year wisely by doing an honest retrospective of their first quarter progress and creating a plan for success. She emphasizes that most women aren't actively thinking on their fertility journey - they're stuck in thought patterns based on past experience and what others tell them.

The Reality Check: 276 Days Remaining

Rosanne opens with the sobering reality that only 276 days remain in the year, challenging women to use this time wisely rather than wake up with nothing changed. She emphasizes that this isn't meant to create panic, but to connect women with their power to be the CEO of their own lives.

Why Retrospectives Are Powerful But Uncomfortable

She explains why doing honest retrospectives on our personal lives is harder than professional evaluations - it brings us face to face with truth about whether we've kept promises to ourselves. This discomfort is exactly why the work is so powerful and necessary.

The Mindset Difference That Changes Everything

Rosanne distinguishes between women who actively think and choose their beliefs versus those stuck in thought loops based on past experience and statistics. She emphasizes that every woman for whom being a mom was nonnegotiable has found a way, with no exceptions in her 12+ years of coaching.

The Three-Step Action Plan

She provides a concrete framework for using the remaining days wisely: conducting honest retrospective work, creating a written plan for changes needed, and taking supportive action. Research shows written plans increase follow-through by 70%, making this step crucial for success.

How to Use Your Remaining 276 Days Wisely

A three-step process for conducting a fertility journey retrospective and creating a strategic plan for the rest of the year

  1. 1

    Do the retrospective work

    Reflect on what you've learned over the past 90 days. Ask yourself: Did you show up the way you promised? Where did you fall short? What do you want to celebrate? What are you proud of?

  2. 2

    Make a plan for the next 276 days

    Decide what changes you need to make. Consider if it's time to get proper mindset training instead of trying to fumble through on your own. Write out your plan - studies show you're 70% more likely to follow through when it's written.

  3. 3

    Take action to support the content

    If you love the podcast and free content, give a five-star review as a way to show appreciation and help other women find this supportive resource.

Perspectives 3

Time keeps moving forward and you're still on this journey, which feels defeating

CONSIDER: Time moving forward means you still have 276 days to make extraordinary changes that could transform your results by year-end

Not setting goals protects you from pain and disappointment

CONSIDER: Floating along in life like plankton without goals typically means you never get where you want to go

You're just thinking and processing your fertility journey naturally

CONSIDER: Most of us aren't actively thinking - we're stuck in thought loops based on past experience, folklore, and what others tell us

Successful women allow themselves to be the woman who beats the odds before it actually happens - they live their journey now in the way a woman who has beaten the odds would

Women traveling from the UK and across the US to attend Rosanne's Boise retreat exemplify this by investing in themselves, taking time off work, and prioritizing their fertility goals despite potential excuses about timing or money.

When a woman allows herself to be the woman that beats the odds, she empowers herself to transform her results through thinking differently, showing up differently, and creating new outcomes

This follows Newton's third law of motion - for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Women who booked flights and committed to the retreat had to be that woman when they said yes, which guaranteed they would actually get to Boise.

Mindset directly impacts fertility outcomes — fear-based thinking can sabotage pregnancy while faith-based thinking supports conception

Chia Mosley miscarried at 45 while operating in fear and doubt, then conceived naturally at 46 after shifting to speaking life into her pregnancy and sharing her story boldly instead of hiding

You attract partners at the level of your own self-awareness and willingness to receive love

Chia spent years choosing the wrong men until age 44 when she learned to take full responsibility for her relationship patterns and became willing to receive proper treatment from the right man
