Episode 142 of the Smart Mama Move series focuses on training yourself to see opportunities in every situation on your fertility journey. Rosanne teaches how to look for openings when others see obstacles, using practical examples like leveraging canceled cycles or end-of-year timing to take bold action toward your dreams.
Rosanne opens by sharing recent success updates from her clients and introduces the critical skill of opportunity recognition. She challenges the 'Pollyanna' criticism and explains how focusing on possibilities rather than limitations creates awareness of resources others miss entirely.
Rather than following the crowd's approach to year-end slowdowns and cycle cancellations, Rosanne teaches how to leverage these situations strategically. She provides specific reframes for common fertility disappointments and explains why unconventional timing often creates the best opportunities.
Rosanne shares her own pivotal moment of walking away from fertility treatment, describing the fear and freedom she experienced. She explains how this apparent setback became the opportunity to deepen her faith and trust herself at a level that led to natural conception at 43.
The episode concludes with concrete steps for identifying and acting on opportunities immediately available. Rosanne emphasizes the importance of forward motion and provides specific examples of how to turn current circumstances into stepping stones toward fertility success.
“When you train yourself to see the opportunity, you become acutely aware of resources and avenues that others just don't see.”
— Rosanne Austin▶ 4:27
Train yourself to look for resources and avenues that others miss. When cycles are canceled, use the time to align your mind and body. When treatments fail, view it as data to make better choices rather than defeat.
“If you had a canceled cycle and won't be able to start again until the new year, this might be the best damn time for you to get your butt in my program. Use the next eight weeks so that you can finally have your mind and body working together instead of fighting like teenage girls.”
— Rosanne Austin▶ 11:31
See canceled cycles as the perfect opportunity to get your mind and body working together instead of fighting. Use the 8-week break to address mindset issues so you can enter your next cycle with better alignment.
“Fear comes in part from a lack of trust in yourself. It is a lack of trust that in the moment when you need it most that you're gonna be able to pull the trigger, no regrets.”
— Rosanne Austin▶ 13:34
Understand that fear comes partly from lack of trust in yourself to take action when needed. Build confidence in your ability to see opportunities and make decisions without regrets.
“While everyone else is slowing down and wrapping up for the year, this is your chance to act and take action boldly. Get ahead of the curve.”
— Rosanne Austin▶ 5:27
The best time is now, especially when others are slowing down. Don't wait for January 1st or perfect timing. While everyone else is inactive, the field is less crowded and there's more room for your success.
“When other people complain about getting their period, you shout, damn straight. My shit still works.”
— Rosanne Austin▶ 6:29
Reframe getting your period as proof that your reproductive system is working properly. Instead of seeing it as failure, celebrate that your body is functioning as it should.
“When you want to beat the odds, you have to fucking beat the odds. You don't get to do what the ninety five percent do. You focus on the five percent that will position you to win.”
— Rosanne Austin▶ 4:47
To beat the odds, you must focus on the 5% of approaches that position you to win, not the 95% of common approaches. You have to be willing to do what others won't do and see opportunities others miss.
A three-step process for identifying and acting on opportunities during your fertility journey
Scour your life for opportunities you can seize now
Look for immediate opportunities hiding in plain sight: canceled cycles that give you time to focus, work changes that provide more flexibility, or fears that are actually calls to take bold action you've been postponing.
Seize those opportunities with bold massive action
Take concrete steps to leverage what you've identified. Use cycle breaks to align mind and body, treat setbacks as data for better choices, and maintain forward trajectory even through detours.

When you focus on seeing opportunities rather than obstacles, you become aware of resources and avenues that others simply don't see
One of Rosanne's clients is now 18 weeks pregnant after years of trying, and another mama sent an update with a picture of her baby girl who is now almost a year old.
Your strong mindset decides whether a difficult moment is just a moment or a fucking lifetime
Rosanne conceived naturally at 43 after years of treatment failure by developing this mindset approach and teaches this to women who are now beating insane odds worldwide.
While everyone else is slowing down for the year-end, this creates an uncrowded field with plenty of room for your success

A canceled cycle can be the best opportunity to get your mind and body working together instead of fighting like teenage girls
Rosanne teaches women to use the 8-week break between cycles to complete her program, allowing them to enter their next cycle with aligned mind-body connection rather than internal conflict.
When others complain about getting their period, you shout 'damn straight, my shit still works'
This reframe is part of the mindset training Rosanne used to conceive naturally at 43 and teaches to women worldwide who are now beating statistical odds on their fertility journeys.
Walking away from treatment was an opportunity to deepen faith and trust yourself at a level you've never trusted before
Rosanne walked away from fertility treatment and conceived naturally at 43 after years of failure, demonstrating how what appears as loss can become the pathway to success.
The fear that comes with fertility challenges is partly from lack of trust that you'll pull the trigger when you need it most
Rosanne identifies this as a core issue she addresses in her 12+ years coaching women, helping them build the confidence that led to her own natural conception at 43 and her clients' successes worldwide.
What you're doing right now is either moving you forward or pulling you back - staying in the same place is moving backwards
