EP211 The Fearlessly Fertile Mindset Assessment: Get Real About Where You Are Today

Rosanne introduces a comprehensive mindset assessment to help women understand where they truly stand on their fertility journey. She walks through 9 key questions covering everything from treatment history to mindset patterns, emphasizing the importance of honest self-evaluation for creating breakthrough results.

The Foundation of Fertility Success

Rosanne establishes that mindset is the foundation of all success on the fertility journey, dictating every decision from nutrition to medical interventions. She emphasizes that success comes from consistent behaviors and accumulated decisions, not luck, challenging the myth of overnight success stories.

The Fearlessly Fertile Mindset Assessment

A comprehensive 9-question assessment covering time trying to conceive, treatments tried, age, fear levels, relationship impact, determination, alternative therapies, and diet. Rosanne emphasizes answering with brutal honesty rather than aspirational thinking to get accurate insight into where mindset work is needed.

The Power of Honest Self-Assessment

Rosanne addresses the tendency to sugarcoat answers and avoid uncomfortable truths, explaining how this keeps women stuck in the same patterns. She uses her 53-year-old miracle mama holding her 6-week-old son as proof that age and circumstances don't determine outcomes when mindset is addressed.

Questions This Episode Answers

How do I know if my mindset needs work on my fertility journey

after doing this work for eight plus years now, there are consistent, predictable, objective indicators that show your mindset needs attention

Rosanne Austin1:23

There are predictable, objective indicators that show when mindset needs attention. An assessment covering time trying to conceive, treatments tried, age, fear levels, relationship impact, determination level, alternative therapies used, and diet can reveal where you stand.

What role does mindset play in fertility success

the foundation of your success on this journey is mindset. Your decisions to eat well, get sleep, get the supplements you need, have the interventions or support you desire, as well as your level of resilience and your discipline to keep going are all dictated by what you think and believe

Rosanne Austin2:28

Mindset is the foundation of all fertility success. Your decisions about eating well, getting sleep, supplements, interventions, support, and your level of resilience are all dictated by what you think and believe. It's where success begins.

How long should I try to conceive before addressing mindset

how long have you been trying to conceive? That's easy enough. Just circle your answer on the page

Rosanne Austin8:06

Mindset should be addressed from the beginning, but the assessment includes time trying as one factor. The key is honest self-evaluation rather than waiting until you're consumed by fear, doubt and negativity or experiencing relationship strain.

Does age matter for fertility success

at the time of this recording, one of my miracle mamas is a gorgeous fifty three and is holding her six week old son today. So bugger the idea that age is gonna stand in your fucking way

Rosanne Austin9:49

Age creates pressure and societal expectations, but it doesn't determine your outcome. The assessment includes age to understand what pressure you might be feeling, but success is possible at any age with the right mindset.

How many IVF cycles before trying something different

If you're doing all the things and still not getting the result you desire on this journey and you are actually committed to having this baby, you can't afford to ignore your mindset

Rosanne Austin4:09

The number of treatments is just one assessment factor. More important is whether you're addressing the mindset foundation that drives all your decisions. If you're doing all the physical things but not getting results, mindset work is essential.

What questions should I ask myself about my fertility mindset

how long have you been trying to conceive? number of treatments... what are the types of treatment that you have had?... your age... your level of fear, doubt, and negativity... what is the impact your journey is having on your relationships?... what's your level of I'm not leaving without my baby?

Rosanne Austin8:06

Key questions include: How long have you been trying? How many treatments have you had? What's your age? How often do you feel fear/doubt/negativity? What impact is this having on relationships? What's your level of determination? How many alternative therapies have you tried? What's the state of your diet?

    Honestly assess how often this journey crosses your mind in fear, doubt or negativity - from barely to completely consumed.

Mindset is the foundation of all success on the fertility journey - every decision about eating well, getting sleep, supplements, interventions, and your level of resilience is dictated by what you think and believe.

One of Rosanne's miracle mamas is 53 years old and holding her 6-week-old son at the time of this recording, demonstrating that mindset trumps physical limitations.

TeachingChallenging3:28

Success has nothing to do with luck - it's all about consistent behaviors you engage in. Behind every alleged overnight success were at least 100 decisions, big and small, that preceded a miracle mama calling in her baby.

Rosanne has coached women for 8+ years and consistently sees that breakthrough results come from accumulated decisions and behaviors, not random chance.

TeachingChallenging4:20

Many women talk a big game about being committed to having their baby but back down when it takes them out of their comfort zone and means they have to grow, step up, and make decisions other people might not like.

Rosanne observes that women who create incredible results go all in, while others remain stuck because they won't make the uncomfortable choices required for success.

World class athletes aren't always the ones with natural talent or physical gifts - some just choose to be the best and have more drive, stamina, and grit than others who may be more physically gifted.

Michael Jordan exemplifies this principle - he chose to be who he became through mindset and determination rather than relying solely on natural ability.

TeachingChallenging15:17

The inability to make a simple decision on an assessment is very telling and should be an eye opener - especially agonizing over the age question reveals where you're at with your mindset.

Rosanne has helped women from ages 28 to 52 (now 53), proving that indecision and fear about age indicates mindset blocks that need addressing.

TeachingEmpowering3:59

When you understand where you stand, the actual behaviors that can be blocking the good you desire and how you might be making things ten times harder than they have to be, you can start thinking and behaving differently.

The assessment reveals objective indicators based on 8+ years of coaching that show predictable patterns where mindset needs attention, leading to different results when addressed.

Two people can approach IVF with completely different energy - one with excitement and opportunity, another with resentment and financial stress - creating vastly different results

Rosanne explains women with worse numbers, older age, and terrible diagnoses get pregnant naturally when their energy matches excitement and anticipation, while those in fear create fear-based results.

Procrastinating on needed fertility changes only delays your breakthrough and miracle

Rosanne spent years in suffering before addressing her mindset issues, but once she took action on her self-esteem and scarcity mindset, her results came almost instantaneously compared to the years of struggle.

Women over 40 need an 'all hands on deck' approach - the equation is different than in your twenties
