Questions This Episode Answers

How do you overcome feeling like a loser after multiple miscarriages?

what would I do if I liked myself again? And I started doing things that I would do if I liked myself.

Rosanne Austin12:50

Start by asking yourself 'what would I do if I liked myself again?' and begin taking those actions. Recognize that calling yourself a loser is just your inner critic, not reality. Multiple losses don't define your worth - they show your courage to keep pursuing your dreams.

When should you switch fertility doctors?

I was done, like, being a victim. Like, I was done, like, letting people just, like, tell me what was right and what was wrong.

Beth21:12

Switch when your doctor doesn't listen to your concerns or accommodate reasonable requests that feel important to you. Trust your intuition if something doesn't feel right about your medical team's approach or communication style.

How do you stay positive after multiple IVF failures?

the fucking silver bullet when all the chips are down is going to be you. It's going to come down to you.

Rosanne Austin1:43

Focus on success stories instead of fear-based forums, clean up your mindset like cleaning your house, and remember that each cycle teaches you something. You become your own silver bullet through the inner work, not just the medical procedures.

What is the playground bully in fertility mindset work?

don't let that playground bully push you around in your head. And, like, I was, like, I've got the worst freaking playground bully ever.

Beth41:02

The playground bully is your inner critic that calls you names, tells you you're not good enough, and sabotages your confidence. It shows up especially after setbacks, making you feel like a victim instead of someone courageously pursuing their dreams.

How do you advocate for yourself with fertility doctors?

I felt like it was constantly, like, some sort of, like, inconvenience to, like, have my concerns heard and my needs met there.

Beth22:45

Speak up about treatments that don't feel right, ask questions, and don't be afraid to seek second opinions. If a doctor dismisses your concerns or makes you feel like an inconvenience, find someone who will listen and work with you as a partner.

What does it mean to become your own silver bullet in fertility?

she became the silver bullet. Because it's really easy to go out and find the scary shit out there... but the thing that really matters on this journey, the fucking silver bullet when all the chips are down is going to be you.

Rosanne Austin1:43

Becoming your own silver bullet means taking responsibility for your mindset, advocating for your medical needs, and trusting your intuition. It's about internal transformation that creates the conditions for external success, rather than expecting treatments alone to solve everything.

You can be completely grateful for what you have and desire more—those two things are not mutually exclusive

Natalia at 44 already had two daughters but knew her family wasn't complete, overcame shame about wanting more and conceived naturally despite PCOS and hypothyroidism

Control comes from fear—when you're afraid of not getting pregnant, the way to tackle that becomes extreme controlling over everything you eat and do

Natalia spent 2 years controlling every aspect of her life—diet, acupuncture, TCM, avoiding alcohol—which made life miserable and disconnected her from her family until she learned to surrender

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.
