Rosanne teaches that the fertility journey is an opportunity to raise your standards in every area of life - from how you think and behave to what you expect in relationships and how you invest in yourself. She provides a three-step exercise to help listeners identify where they're settling and take immediate action to raise one standard today.
Rosanne opens by framing the fertility journey as a rich opportunity to raise standards across all areas of life - from thinking patterns and behavior to relationships and self-investment. She emphasizes this isn't coming from a 'smug' place but from showing the way based on what helped her and consistently helps her clients succeed.
Many type-A women believe they already have high standards, but Rosanne explains how we often live by unquestioned stories and conditioning from parents, society, and religion. True standard-raising requires conscious choice rather than following inherited patterns that may not serve our unique desires and dreams.
Rosanne reframes raising standards as a demonstration of commitment to your dream rather than greedy or selfish behavior. She explains that women who succeed in her programs are committed and refuse to make their mom dreams come true 'via a wing and a prayer' - they choose to be smarter and more intentional.
The episode concludes with a practical three-step exercise: honestly assess current standards and where you're settling, pick one standard to raise immediately and take action, and show support for the podcast. Rosanne emphasizes that raising standards is like 'a magnet to miracles' and predicts 2021 will be a landmark year for her clients' baby success.
“This journey is a chance for you to finally raise your standards. Standards for the way you think, the way you behave, the way you make decisions, the way you show up in your life”
— Rosanne Austin▶ 2:24
Start by being honest about where your standards are today - are you settling or tolerating low-vibe stories? Pick one standard to raise immediately and take action to demonstrate your commitment, whether that's committing to organic food, having honest conversations with your partner, or investing in mindset work.
“Many of us spend decades living by stories and conditioning that we never ever question. We believe that what we know in our limited experience today is all there is.”
— Rosanne Austin▶ 4:08
Many type-A women live by unquestioned stories and conditioning from others, believing their limited experience is all there is. True standard-raising means consciously choosing your path rather than following inherited patterns from parents, society, or friends.
“Raising your standards isn't greedy, selfish, or diva like behavior. In fact, it's a demonstration of commitment to your dream.”
— Rosanne Austin▶ 7:03
No, raising your standards is a demonstration of commitment to your dream, not selfish behavior. It's about being committed to success rather than going about making your dream come true via 'a wing and a prayer.'
“Standards for the way you think, the way you behave, the way you make decisions, the way you show up in your life, what you eat, how much you sleep, what you say or what you don't say, what you expect in your relationships”
— Rosanne Austin▶ 2:24
Raise standards for how you think, behave, make decisions, show up in life, what you eat, how much you sleep, what you expect in relationships, how you spend time, the work you do, how you invest in yourself, and living by your values instead of being a poser with them.
“Raising your standards doesn't have to be hard. In fact, once you do, you will wonder why the fuck you waited so long to do it. Raising your standard is like a magnet to miracles.”
— Rosanne Austin▶ 7:34
Raising your standards can impact your journey immediately. Once you do it, you'll wonder why you waited so long. Rosanne describes it as 'like a magnet to miracles' and doesn't have to be hard.
A three-step process to identify where you're settling and take immediate action to raise your standards
Assess Your Current Standards
Be honest with yourself about where your standards are today. Are you settling for what you think you can get? Are you tolerating low vibe stories about what you can have? Do you use excuses like 'I can't afford it' or 'My partner won't let me' that keep you stuck?
Pick One Standard to Raise Immediately
Choose one standard you will raise right now, today, and take action to demonstrate your commitment. This could be committing to organic food, telling your partner what they need to know about you, or deciding your mind will work for you this year.
Take Action and Show Support
Whatever standard you choose, raise it and take action immediately. If you love this content, show appreciation by giving the podcast a five-star review to help other women find these resources.

The standards you live by are your choice - just because others did it that way doesn't mean you have to

The mid-year 'no baby freak-out' is a predictable pattern that keeps women stuck in fear instead of taking strategic action
After 11+ years helping thousands of women, Rosanne observes this exact pattern every June when women realize they're at the midpoint with no baby and begin questioning everything about their fertility journey.
Taking responsibility for your fertility results doesn't mean blame - it means acting like a grown woman and consciously controlling what you can control
Rosanne distinguishes between fear-based control (trying to control everything) and strategic responsibility, emphasizing the cause-and-effect relationship of thoughts, beliefs, actions, and results.
Jealousy manifests in sneaky ways like explaining away others' success with thoughts like 'she was just lucky' or 'she must be better than me'
Rosanne identifies specific jealousy patterns that emerged as listeners heard success stories from Elise, Fran, Linda, and Lizzie over the past five weeks of episodes.
At its core, jealousy is an outward focus where you're looking at what other people have and saying 'why not me?' - making yourself separate from their success
