Jealousy on the fertility journey stems from lack and scarcity thinking - the belief that there's only so much good to go around, so if someone else has success, it means less opportunity for you
Rosanne shares her own experience of mentally 'hating on' a pregnant woman at the grocery store during her fertility journey, searching for clues about why this woman was 'better' and 'luckier' than her.
Lack and scarcity thinking manifests in toxic fertility beliefs like 'some people are just lucky,' 'if it was gonna happen it would have by now,' and 'you can't have it all'
Rosanne lists specific examples of lack and scarcity thinking: 'some people are just lucky,' 'if it was gonna happen, it would have already happened by now,' 'you failed so many times already, why don't you just give up,' and 'you can't have it all.'
