EP166 Want To Know Your Sabotage Pattern?

Rosanne shares a powerful two-question exercise to identify your self-sabotage patterns by examining what you didn't do versus what you said you would do in the past week. She introduces her new Fearlessly Fertile Daily program launching May 12th.

Living Life Fully While Trying to Conceive

Rosanne shares her perspective from Atlanta, reflecting on how she transformed from prosecutor to global fertility coach while pursuing her dream of motherhood. She emphasizes that you can live your life any way you wish during your fertility journey, drawing from her own experience of building a business, writing books, and eventually conceiving naturally at 43.

The Power of Daily Thoughts in Constant Motion

Everything in life is in constant motion - your cells, the earth, packages being delivered, babies being conceived and born. With this constant change, your daily thoughts matter enormously because they influence everything you do, either moving you forward or sliding you backward on your fertility journey.

Introducing the Two-Question Self-Sabotage Exercise

Rosanne presents a powerful 10-minute exercise to identify sabotage patterns. The first question asks you to list everything you said you'd do in the past week but didn't. The second asks for all the excuses you used to justify not doing those things, revealing what you truly think and believe.

Why Passive Learning Isn't Enough for Fertility Success

There's a significant difference between passively listening to podcasts and actively working on your mindset daily. Rosanne challenges the belief that you're already doing enough, emphasizing that everything starts with your thoughts and success requires daily intentional effort, not occasional attention to mindset work.

Fertility success or failure is completely predictable based on whether you make excuses or refuse to tolerate them

After observing thousands of women over 10+ years, Rosanne has identified consistent patterns where women who beat insane odds stopped tolerating their own excuses, while those who failed remained committed to their limitations.

Your excuses are an exact prediction of why you will quit your fertility journey

Women who make excuses about money will quit because of money, those who make excuses about age will quit because of age, and those who tolerate partner negativity will give up because of their partner's resistance.

Your mindset is the foundation that keeps you from falling prey to manipulation and fear-based statistics on your fertility journey

Women told they had less than 10% chances or even less than 1% chances are holding babies today because they focused on possibility rather than limitations.

Couples must get on the same page about their fertility journey before crisis hits, because stress can tear partnerships apart

During COVID, families broke apart over mask disagreements and fear-based decisions, with people refusing to be in the same room with each other.
