EP285: When You Focus On Loss, You Won’t Win

Rosanne teaches how focusing on losses, failures, and what's missing keeps women stuck in low-energy patterns that prevent fertility success. She provides a 7-day tracking exercise to help shift focus from scarcity to abundance.

The Power of Focus in Fertility Success

Rosanne explains how attention creates reality, using the car shopping analogy to show how focus determines what you see and experience. She emphasizes that where energy flows, results follow, making focus the foundation of fertility success.

The Loss-Focused Identity Trap

Many women unconsciously build identity around their fertility struggles, leading conversations with years trying and losses accumulated. This creates a 'sick girl' pattern that keeps them stuck in low-frequency energy that blocks success.

Breaking Free Through Conscious Focus Tracking

Rosanne provides a practical 7-day exercise to track focus patterns and become aware of unconscious mental habits. This awareness creates the foundation for shifting from scarcity-based thinking to possibility-focused mindset that enables fertility breakthroughs.

Questions This Episode Answers

How does focus affect fertility success

What you put your attention on grows. As the great Tony Robbins says, where your attention goes, energy flows. And the things that we give energy to get bigger.

Rosanne Austin2:26

Your focus creates your reality - what you put attention on grows. Focusing on losses and failures keeps you in low-frequency energy that blocks fertility success, while focusing on possibilities opens pathways to pregnancy.

Why do I always focus on negative things during fertility journey

We get stuck in patterns. We get stuck in mental ruts. And, you know, for some reason, it just takes less energy to be in negativity, which is crazy because it actually saps more of your energy.

Rosanne Austin4:31

Negative thinking takes less initial energy and becomes self-perpetuating, creating mental ruts. However, staying in negativity actually drains more energy long-term and requires exponential effort to escape the deeper you go.

How do I track my focus patterns

I would encourage you for the next seven days to start journaling and keeping track of where your focus is. At the end of each day, take note where was my focus today?

Rosanne Austin12:28

Keep a small notebook or use your phone to track where your focus goes each day for 7 days. At the end of each day, note whether your attention was primarily on what you lack or on possibilities and solutions.

What is focus identity on fertility journey

There are also women living this journey who will open up a conversation focused solely on how many years they've been on it, how many miscarriages they've had, and all of the terrible things that have happened.

Rosanne Austin8:18

Focus identity happens when you build your sense of self around losses and problems. Like 'the sick girl' who always talks about health issues, some fertility warriors create identity around years trying, miscarriages, and failures rather than their future success.

Does negative thinking affect fertility energy

If you are in a low frequency and you're always in fear, you're always in negativity, you're always focused on lack and scarcity, that keeps your energy really low.

Rosanne Austin10:34

Yes, negative focus keeps you in low frequency energy that affects not just how you feel but also impacts everyone around you. This low energy creates a heavy atmosphere and makes positive change exponentially more difficult.

Perspectives 2

It's natural to focus on fertility losses and failures because this journey is hard

CONSIDER: Focusing on loss creates an identity around lack that perpetuates more loss - discipline your mind to focus on possibilities instead

Talking about years trying and number of miscarriages is just being honest about your journey

CONSIDER: Opening conversations with losses and failures indicates where your focus lives and creates low-frequency energy that blocks success

Worthiness issues from earlier relationships directly impact fertility journey outcomes and decision-making patterns.

Liz spent 10 years in an unhealthy relationship telling herself she didn't want kids rather than facing the reality, then ghosted her future husband because she couldn't believe he liked her for who she was. These same worthiness patterns showed up as immediately running to IVF after one miscarriage at 41.

The way you do one thing is the way you do everything - relationship patterns will show up in your fertility journey.

Liz's pattern of feeling unworthy in her relationship (ghosting her husband because she couldn't believe he liked her) directly translated to feeling inadequate about conceiving and immediately seeking medical intervention after one miscarriage instead of trusting her body.

You can meditate all day, but if you don't change the underlying belief system that's causing you to be stuck in 'what if' limited thinking and worst case scenarios, meditation alone won't create change.

Levvenia meditated for years but remained stuck in negative thinking patterns until she addressed her limiting beliefs through mindset work

Owning that you are behaving like a victim is not an accusation - it's an invitation to start creating a different experience.

Levvenia recognized her victim mentality after years of thinking 'it doesn't happen to me, everybody else is getting pregnant' and transformed into an empowered creator
