EP306: How Smart Women Approach “What If It Doesn’t Work?

Rosanne reveals the four-step smart woman's approach to handling the dreaded 'what if it doesn't work' question that plagues every fertility journey. She challenges listeners to think above average, reject destination thinking, and always believe they have another move.

The Big Bug Mentality: Thinking Above Average

Rosanne opens with a fierce challenge to reject average thinking patterns that keep most people stuck. Using the metaphor from A Bug's Life, she distinguishes between 'worker ants' who follow orders and give up easily, versus 'big bugs' who set their sights on something larger and don't back down from challenges. This foundational mindset shift is essential for anyone wanting outlier results on their fertility journey.

Breaking Free from Destination Thinking

The second pillar addresses the dangerous belief that failure means permanent defeat. Rosanne reframes 'what if it doesn't work' as destination thinking that traps women in a victim mentality. She teaches that the fertility journey is fluid by nature - if something doesn't work, it simply means that particular approach didn't succeed under current conditions, not that future attempts are doomed.

You Always Have Another Move

Rosanne directly challenges arbitrary limitations like insurance coverage limits and self-imposed deadlines. She questions why women would let insurance companies determine their baby-making timeline and emphasizes that smart women reject these external constraints. The key question becomes 'How bad do you want it?' rather than 'How many chances do I have left?'

Trusting Your Divine Desire

The final teaching centers on the spiritual aspect of motherhood desire. Rosanne presents the belief that the longing to be a mother is divinely placed in women's hearts as part of their life purpose. This perspective transforms fertility challenges from random suffering into a meaningful journey guided by higher consciousness, empowering women to trust their hearts over external limitations.

Questions This Episode Answers

How should I handle the fear of what if fertility treatment doesn't work

Smart women are their own authority. Smart women listen to their hearts. Smart women trust and have faith that the higher power that's speaking through their heart is never wrong.

Rosanne Austin17:19

Stop thinking like the average person who gives up after a few tries. Focus on your next move instead of destination thinking that keeps you stuck.

What does it mean to think above average on fertility journey

You have to think like a big fucking bug. Alright? A big bug has their eyes or eight eyes set on something much larger.

Rosanne Austin3:56

It means rejecting the worker ant mentality where most people try something three times then give up. Think like a 'big bug' with eyes set on something larger.

Why do I keep asking myself what if fertility treatment fails

All something not working out means is that particular instance didn't work. It doesn't mean anything about your future.

Rosanne Austin7:04

This question implies destination thinking - that failure means you're permanently stuck. In reality, it just means that particular attempt didn't work under current conditions.

Should I stop trying after insurance runs out for fertility treatment

You are going to let the number of opportunities that you have to try for this baby be determined by a fucking insurance company who does not give two fucks about whether or not you're happy?

Rosanne Austin10:50

Absolutely not. Don't let insurance companies determine how many opportunities you get to try for your baby. You decide your limits, not them.

How do I know if I should keep trying to get pregnant

How bad do you want it? Do you want it bad enough to keep going? Do you want it bad enough to push past the confines of average people and average thinking to create above average and outlier results?

Rosanne Austin12:23

Ask yourself: How bad do you want it? If the desire is still there, you keep going. Smart women don't give arbitrary deadlines to their dreams.

The desire in your heart to be a mom is there because it was fucking meant for you - this desire is your divine assignment

Rosanne conceived naturally at 43 after years of treatment failure by following this principle. Recent podcast guests Elise and Mikayla both held babies after choosing belief over their circumstances.

Belief always precedes the miracle - you must believe even in the darkest moments, not just when things feel good

All of the recent podcast success stories featured women who believed bigger than their current circumstances. A fertility expert interviewed confirmed that most fertility challenges are figureoutable.

We spend 95% of our day in unconscious patterns, only 5% consciously thinking, which means most women sleepwalk through their fertility journey repeating the same ineffective behaviors

Current brain science data shows 95% of thoughts are subconscious and 60% are negative, explaining why women get stuck repeating patterns without conscious intervention.

Wishing and hoping are passive victim states that entertain the possibility of failure, while belief is an active committed state focused on reasons why you can succeed

Napoleon Hill's principle shows the difference: 'The state of mind must be belief, not mere hope or wish' - belief creates confidence and bold action while hope keeps one foot out the door.
