Rosanne teaches the healing power of awesome - a mindset tool to find opportunity and abundance even during challenging times. She shares how to leverage uncertainty as a catalyst for growth and success on your fertility journey.
Rosanne opens with the Ronald Reagan quote about courage, emphasizing that women with fertility dreams must choose bravery over fear. She challenges the notion that uncertain times call for retreat, instead positioning this as a moment to rise to the occasion and stare challenges in the eye.
Drawing parallels to historical precedent, Rosanne reveals that more millionaires were created during the Great Depression than any other era. She uses examples of innovators like Bill Gates and Elon Musk to illustrate how successful people pivot and get creative instead of playing it safe during uncertainty.
Rosanne introduces her signature practice of actively seeking what's awesome about current circumstances. She provides a specific exercise of writing at least 20 things that are beneficial about now, explaining how this creates physical and emotional shifts that move women from fear into possibility and forward momentum.
The episode concludes with practical application, encouraging women to leverage this time for mindset work and preparation. Rosanne emphasizes that smart women see the whole picture and use challenging times to position themselves for success when opportunities reopen.
“What is awesome about right now? When everyone is acting like Chicken Little and run into the left, you gotta turn right.”
— Rosanne Austin▶ 7:01
Focus on what's awesome about your current situation. Make a list of at least 20 things that are beneficial about now - more time for self-care, working from home, going inward. This shifts your energy from fear to possibility.
“This is the healing power of awesome. Notice what changes in your heart. Notice how the tightness goes away.”

The healing power of awesome is actively seeking what's beneficial about your current circumstances instead of focusing only on what's wrong. When you do this, you notice physical changes - tightness goes away in your heart and your whole energetic state shifts.
“Smart, brave as fuck women are doing right now... They aren't cowering in the face of a challenge. They are digging their heels into the healing power of awesome.”
— Rosanne Austin▶ 5:27
Look for what's awesome about your current situation. Use delays for deeper self-care, mindset work, and preparation. Smart women leverage uncertainty to position themselves for success when doors reopen, doing the opposite of fearful masses.
“Sky is falling negative Nancy's would have you believe this is a time to give up, shrink back, cut your losses... Fuck that.”
— Rosanne Austin▶ 3:05
Absolutely not. This is exactly when you should double down on your dreams. Uncertainty teaches us that life is precious and short - you can't afford to back off your truth about having the family you desire.
“You've got to think, believe, and take action like a woman who succeeds, not just to get pregnant, but to stay pregnant.”
— Rosanne Austin▶ 11:30
Think, believe and act like a woman who succeeds. Make a list of what's awesome about now, focus on the whole picture not just problems, and use this time to cultivate forward momentum so you can show up ready when doors reopen.
