Advocate for yourself by asking questions when medical advice doesn't align with your values

Maria questioned ultrasound technicians saying her baby was underweight when she was exactly one pound at 23 weeks according to their own literature, then called four other OBs who confirmed this was normal.

Finding your voice and becoming your own advocate is essential - you are a key player in your fertility journey, not a passive recipient

Dr. Nisha discovered through the program that despite her medical training, she had been following what others told her rather than advocating for herself. She fired one specialist and found doctors who called her '44 years young' instead of dismissing her age.

Lying to yourself on your fertility journey destroys self-respect and blocks conception success

Rosanne Austin conceived naturally at 43 after years of treatment failure by applying radical honesty principles. Over 12+ years coaching women ages 28-54 across six continents, she's observed that women who practice radical truth-telling consistently achieve breakthrough results.

When you consistently lie to yourself, you lose the ability to distinguish truth and cease to love yourself and others

Drawing from Dostoyevsky's Brothers Karamazov, Rosanne explains how women who suppress their truth on fertility journeys build resentment and lose connection with partners and family, ultimately blocking their path to motherhood.

Truth-telling starts with awareness and leads to the confidence and calm needed for fertility success

Every woman who has created outrageous success in Rosanne's 12+ year practice first came to grips with their internal truth. This awareness creates the peace, surrender and resolve that lies cannot approximate.

Common lies include pretending you'll be okay either way, not communicating needs to your partner, and tolerating inappropriate questions from family

Based on 12+ years of coaching women globally, Rosanne has identified these specific patterns of self-deception that successful women commonly use. Her methodology includes practical exercises for identifying and addressing these lies.

When you're vulnerable on your fertility journey, be cautious about who you're listening to and check in emotionally about whether their input serves you

Marcy got damaged by astrology readings telling her she'd never have children, but when she became more discerning about whose voices she allowed in, she maintained the belief that led to natural conception.

Pruning relationships is about priorities, not disloyalty - you have finite time to have babies and can't evangelize to everyone

Managing emotions of people who don't understand your journey creates energy leaks when you're already juggling full-time work, fertility treatments, and the pressure to succeed quickly.

Generic fertility support groups create emotional chaos and normalize victim mentality, which is misaligned with achiever mindset

Women consistently report that Facebook groups and fertility Reddit create chaos and rabbit holes of unmoderated bullshit that doesn't help their success.

Women with professional success are often judged for wanting more, with people saying 'can't she just be happy' instead of supporting their desire for motherhood

People look at a partner in a law firm with a great relationship and question why she would want more, creating shame around the legitimate desire for children.

Successful professional women tend to isolate on their fertility journey because they're used to being the strong one everyone depends on, but this isolation comes at a biological cost

Rosanne herself lived two different lives like Batman during her fertility journey, completely isolated and stuck in her head, which she identifies as something she would do differently

Generic support groups and random online communities are not the same as curated, high-level community with shared values and emotional intelligence

Rosanne describes most Facebook groups as 'Lord of the Flies for fertility' - negative, unmoderated spaces where people bust out their 'suitcase of bullshit' rather than focus on solutions

When you're serious about your goal, you need to build a team around you that believes in you and operates from the belief that fertility limits don't apply to you

Rosanne explains you must ensure anyone with a front row seat on your journey isn't 'a hating ass bitch' or 'quietly throwing shade on your ass in the chart' - you want everyone 'ovaries deep on a hell yes to you and your vision.'

Partnership requires clarity, not compromise - choosing the right father for your child is your first act as a mother

Sam refused to meet men for coffee unless they confirmed they were open to having children and didn't already have kids, leading her to find her partner at 39 who became the father of her daughter.

Sam decided after her divorce that all major life decisions would come through her own conviction and alignment, leading her to invest in mindset work without seeking permission and ultimately to her daughter.

High-achieving women must learn boundaries and asking for support before becoming mothers to avoid burning out their bandwidth

Rachel explains she now has someone prepare her food and sets boundaries with projects, noting that mothers have limited bandwidth and must choose priorities rather than trying to handle everything themselves

Settling and tolerating in certain life areas indicates where you still need growth and healing

Rachel identifies that she doesn't settle in support, travel, friendships, environment, or food quality, but recognizes dating as her remaining growth area where she's still learning not to settle

Men often don't have support networks for fertility struggles because they don't naturally discuss these intimate challenges

Adam reveals he only confided in a handful of best friends, mostly when together with beers, and his friends admitted they didn't know the full extent of their losses until much later in the process.

The better question is not how to be like other mothers, but what kind of mom you want to be

Rosanne emphasizes asking yourself what you want to be as a mom, totally separate from societal expectations, what your mother expects, or even what your partner expects - creating something unique to your individual needs and values.

Focus on legacy over labels - what matters is that your child knows you love them and feels welcome to share their feelings

After eight years with her son, Rosanne has found that knowing daily that you love them, that they can talk to you, be seen and heard, and that you're there when you can be is enough for creating a lasting legacy.

Fertility shame manifests as living a secret double life, mysteriously coming and going from work for appointments you won't discuss

Rosanne shares her personal experience as a prosecutor, mysteriously leaving the office multiple times per week for fertility appointments while having colleagues cover her court appearances, demonstrating the hidden shame cycle many professional women experience.

Working through emergency situations while trying to maintain normalcy is what high-achieving women do - but it's also what keeps us stuck on this journey

Jennifer tried to work through her ectopic pregnancy emergency, taking meetings between lying down from pain, just as Rosanne made court appearances during her own miscarriage. This pattern of pushing through is common among driven women but counterproductive on the fertility journey.

Women in their forties must make space in their lives for a baby by reducing stress and clearing out what doesn't align with motherhood

Dr. Bove states 'many people have not made room in their lives for a baby, and they're working eighty hours a week. They are stressed to the max' and recommends 'declutter the stuff that is not going to align with new motherhood.'

Men should build their own support network and be selective about who they allow to speak into their fertility journey

Hector attended weekly men's prayer meetings with 100 men every Tuesday at 5:30am, sharing his fertility struggles and receiving support. He also distanced himself from family members who spoke negatively about having children in their 40s.

The criteria for choosing support people should be whether they speak life into you and leave you feeling energized and built up

Hector evaluated his support circle by asking 'Are they there to speak life into me? Do I feel energized, alive when I'm communicating with them?' He kept negative family members at arm's length who fell into the stigma that 'once you get in your forties, you're done.'

Being 'nice' is a massive con job that keeps women trapped with weak boundaries and benefits others at their expense

The nicest people typically have the weakest boundaries, and those calling you nice often benefit from your misery and lack of boundaries on the fertility journey.

You don't have to return every text, update everyone on your fertility journey, or accept every baby shower invitation

All social obligations during fertility struggles are made-up rules that women follow out of niceness, but these drain energy needed for their own journey.

Low self-esteem creates a cascade of problems: tolerating ineffective treatments, inconsiderate behavior, and unmet needs

Rosanne explains this creates 'a cascade of cocka' where women allow themselves to be bullied, ignored, and treated like numbers, which she experienced firsthand during her seven-year fertility journey.

You can choose your peace over principle without settling - it's a matter of priority and picking your battles strategically

Every miracle mama interviewed shows peace over principle at a pivot point in her journey where things start getting smooth and clear with less conflict.

Limit yourself to five core principles you're willing to die on the hill for - this helps you get out of overwhelm and be more discerning

Having a big bag of peace options and five precise principles positions women to make better choices that bring them peace and success.

Many women walk around taking care of everybody else, thinking that's how they get love and identity, without making themselves a priority

Katie Beecher observes this pattern universally in her practice - women who don't allow themselves to take time for basic self-care like working out or taking a walk, believing their worth comes from serving others.

Holiday stress can compound fertility journey disappointments, making this season particularly challenging for women trying to conceive

Rosanne notes that stressors from earlier in the year - failed fertility treatments, clinic changes, disappointments - can 'culminate and dog pile on you' during the holidays when everyone has expectations.

Peace should be your priority during the holidays - use this as a lens to evaluate every invitation, obligation, and decision

Rosanne teaches the simple statement of fact: 'Peace is my priority' and explains how to ask 'if indeed peace was my priority, what would I do in this situation?' for every holiday decision.

Professional women in caregiving roles are especially susceptible to over-giving during the holidays

Rosanne notes she works with 'women that are physicians, lawyers, teachers, nurses, engineers, caregivers... women who are constantly giving of themselves' who need special permission to prioritize peace.

Protecting your mindset requires the right people in your corner - statistics and naysayers can derail faith

Elise credits learning about Bump Squad criteria as crucial to maintaining hope, surrounding herself with women focused on vision rather than struggle, which helped her conceive at 45 despite multiple medical professionals dismissing her due to age.

Setting boundaries with family about fertility expectations is essential for protecting your mental health and making authentic choices

Lyndsay sat her mother down and said 'are you okay if you end up not being a grandma?' and told her to take the pressure off because continuing treatment with an abusive partner just so her mother could be a grandmother was not acceptable.

Choosing to end fertility treatment when in an abusive relationship can be the wisest decision for both mother and potential child

Lyndsay decided not to have a baby with her abusive, alcoholic ex-husband, later saying 'I probably shouldn't have been making a baby with him in the first place' and that ending treatment simultaneously with leaving the marriage was necessary.

Fertility struggles inherently make you unusual and set you up to be misunderstood because it's a deeply personal journey wrapped in shame that most people won't talk about openly

Fertility struggles have increased from 1 in 8 to 1 in 5 couples, but it's still not widely discussed openly, making those who share their journey appear different or weird to others

Stepping into your power and becoming a woman who beats the odds requires you to care more about the truth in your heart than pissing other people off

Rosanne conceived at 43 after being told by 10 doctors it wouldn't happen, demonstrating that following heart truth over others' opinions led to her success becoming a mother

Red flags include partners who lie about their whereabouts, engage in infidelity during pregnancy, and show no emotion when reporting a missing spouse

Scott Peterson began an affair with Amber Frey one month before Laci disappeared, lied about going fishing vs. golfing, and showed deliberate indifference with no emotion or concern when reporting Laci missing to police

Partners who express they don't want children but proceed with pregnancy anyway may harbor dangerous resentment

Scott Peterson told both Laci previously and his girlfriend Amber Frey that he didn't want children, even saying he would get a vasectomy and didn't need a baby, yet Laci was excited about the pregnancy as she had fertility challenges with only one fallopian tube

Making bold proclamations about what you want creates accountability to your desires and shifts your energy

Chrissie's Mother's Day proclamation included three specific requests: her husband at the transfer, traveling again, and holding her baby by the next Mother's Day. All three happened exactly as she declared, with her due date falling days before Mother's Day.

Setting boundaries and saying no to non-essential commitments creates space for fertility goals

Heather, a teacher involved in nonprofits, learned to say no to additional commitments and set boundaries to focus on her fertility journey, which helped her as she became a mother.

Common areas of wishing and hoping include tolerating clinics that don't serve you, waiting for unsupportive partners to change, and wanting better mindset without taking action

Many women say their partners are supportive but bear the weight alone when partners aren't fully on board, creating relationship dysfunction that delays conception.

You can have boundaries on this journey - give yourself the gift of not doing things that don't make you feel good

Caroline set a boundary of no baby showers for the rest of the year, sending gifts instead. This boundary protected her emotional well-being while she was trying to conceive, and she got pregnant naturally soon after.

Most people will help you justify failing, but few support you in having courage to be the one

Rosanne observes how quickly people offer alternatives like 'take fifteen vacations a year' when someone considers giving up, but laugh or scoff when someone has the courage to beat the odds.

You must be willing to change doctors when they don't resonate with you or provide compassionate care - you're running this circus.

Amanda changed fertility specialists twice and switched hospitals mid-pregnancy when told 'here's a diaper, go home' at 10 weeks. Her willingness to advocate for better care directly contributed to her son's survival and her positive pregnancy outcome.

The kind of 'nice' that sabotages fertility success is the pushover kind - being unclear, indirect, and going along to get along because you're struggling with worthiness and afraid of rocking the boat

Rosanne defines this as doing a 'fifteen thousand word preamble before asking for what she wants' and caring more about what others think than what's true for your journey.

The second driver is fear of what people will say, which creates a pattern where you care more about avoiding judgment than speaking truth about your needs

Rosanne gives the example of not asking for support by saying 'I'm really hurting right now, I could use your support' because you're afraid people will call you needy.

The third and most dangerous driver is fear that if you upset someone, you won't get what you want - which creates manipulative behavior especially with medical providers

Rosanne describes women who 'shut the fuck up and go with whatever thing they tell us to do' with doctors, even agreeing to 'that same protocol for the fifth time that hasn't gotten us anywhere' to avoid conflict.

Allowing your partner's negativity to derail your journey means you're not truly committed

Rosanne challenges women who say their husband won't let them pursue certain options or is 'down and out' about treatment, questioning why a partner gets veto power over their fertility vision.

Keeping your word to others while breaking it to yourself sends the subconscious message 'I am untrustworthy' and 'I don't love myself enough'

Rosanne tracks 10,486 steps daily as an example of keeping commitments to herself, demonstrating how consistent self-integrity builds unshakable trust.

Even white lies erode self-trust because your subconscious knows nobody likes a liar

Rosanne challenges listeners to track how many lies they tell in a week, including excuses like 'I need to talk to my husband' when they really mean they're afraid to say no.

Couples must get on the same page about their fertility journey before crisis hits, because stress can tear partnerships apart

During COVID, families broke apart over mask disagreements and fear-based decisions, with people refusing to be in the same room with each other.

Being informed about world events is different from being obsessed - stay aware without letting media manipulation control your emotions

The same principle applies to fertility - being informed about options versus being obsessed, where you can't go a day without referencing your fertility.

Valuing other people's opinions more than your own can cause you to abandon your fertility goals when partners or family members don't support your choices

Rosanne shares she's heard women practically weeping on calls about how badly they want a baby, but when it comes to making decisions about transformation or getting help, if their partner isn't on board or can't understand, they just quit

Believing relationships shouldn't have conflict leads to giving up on your fertility dreams to keep the peace rather than having honest conversations about what you need

Rosanne warns that holding the value that relationships don't have conflict puts you in a position where you'll shut up and not be honest about your desires, potentially giving up on the dream just to keep the peace

Women sabotage themselves by 'doing their man's math' - worrying about what their partner thinks instead of letting him express his own feelings like a grown man

Rosanne points out there's no requirement in relationships to feel exactly what your partner feels, and natural ebbs and flows exist where one person is always more up than the other.

Learn to receive more and say no to people who don't deserve your energy

Rocky, now 20 weeks pregnant through donor eggs after trying since 2019, learned to set boundaries and focus only on relationships that truly matter to her.

Good boundaries are about clarity, not confrontation - you can simply say 'I don't really feel like talking about that right now' without being defensive

Most people asking about fertility have no ill intent but are emotionally stunted about the journey, making simple clear responses more effective than defensive comebacks

Empowerment means taking responsibility for your part in relationship dynamics instead of expecting your partner to read your mind

Rather than playing high school games of 'they should know what I need after 5 years of marriage,' empowered women clearly communicate their needs to help their partners be successful.

Start by learning to say no and getting selfish - you need to stop sacrificing yourself for everyone else's happiness to create space for what you want

Monica Cox explains that type A overachievers typically have fertility issues because they're constantly giving to others and not slowing down enough to listen to their bodies.

Partners may react negatively to this exercise, which reveals important information about relationship dynamics and whether someone supports your growth

Rosanne notes that a partner's weird reaction to spending just a few hours over a week on yourself is telling, while some partners might actually appreciate the space and 'send Rosanne Austin a thank you note.'

Most people don't really ask new mothers how they're doing - they focus entirely on the baby

Suzy describes a four-month postpartum mother who said Suzy was the first person to really ask how she was doing, and how relatives would grab the baby without even looking at the mother.

When couples agreements become handcuffs that prevent independent decision-making, you've created a dynamic that will tear your relationship apart over time

Rosanne warns that when smart, independent women can't make decisions because they're afraid of what their partner thinks, missed opportunities lead to resentment that destroys relationships.

Relationship complications on fertility journeys often involve creating 'Kabuki theater' in your head instead of directly telling your partner what you need

Rosanne observes women creating elaborate mental dramas about their partner's involvement rather than making simple, direct requests like 'I want you to show up with me at this appointment.'

Hiding your truth is a full-time job that sucks your will to live and blocks energy that could light up a city and open a floodlight to your baby

Rosanne conceived naturally at 43 after years of treatment failure by using mindset work that included speaking her truth and freeing up blocked energy.

Telling the truth does not have to be confrontational - you can be kind and measured while still speaking what's true for you

Rosanne, a former prosecutor, demonstrates how professional expertise and boundaries can be maintained while speaking truth, as she did in her own fertility journey and now teaches women across six continents.

You don't owe anyone an explanation for being alive - explaining yourself always puts you behind the eight ball and is fucking tiring

Rosanne teaches this principle to hundreds of women in her Fearlessly Fertile Method program who report increased energy and confidence when they stop over-explaining their choices.

Half the time women struggle with confidence and shitty boundaries on their fertility journey, it's because they don't trust themselves

Rosanne observes this pattern consistently in her 12+ years coaching women ages 28-54, noting that self-trust issues underlie most boundary and confidence problems.

People who truly want the best for you will challenge you to leap for your dreams, while those who want you to stay the same demand suspicion

Rosanne teaches that true supporters encourage growth and risk-taking for dreams, while those demanding you stay unchanged prioritize their own comfort over your happiness and fertility success.

You can love someone and not agree with them, and you can love someone without letting their fear and limitation negatively impact your fertility journey

Rosanne teaches that authentic love doesn't require agreement on fertility choices, demonstrated through her work with women who've succeeded despite partners' or family's initial resistance to their fertility decisions.

We waste enormous amounts of time on people-pleasing, saying yes when we want to say no, and being scared to take action

Rosanne's analysis of hundreds of women's schedules reveals consistent patterns of time waste on fear-based behaviors rather than fertility-supporting activities like finding new doctors or joining programs.

When you're the most certain person in the room, everyone else will take a listen—you have just as much chance of being right as the doctors

Somaya challenged a renowned London fertility doctor with 40 years experience, saying 'Stop. This is all a red herring. I want you to run these tests,' and he agreed, leading to transformational results.

Your partner's economic fear doesn't have to become your fertility limitation - you can love someone deeply while refusing to join their fear-based mindset

Rosanne conceived naturally at 43 after years of treatment failure by maintaining her vision despite economic pressures, demonstrating that couples can have different perspectives on spending without derailing fertility success

Fear-based messaging only has the authority you choose to give it - just because something leads with fear doesn't make it true or worthy of respect

Over three years of fear-based news coverage and manipulation demonstrates how dire, fearful messaging gets presumed authority and truth simply because it appears serious, when facts later reveal much was theater and bullshit

Women struggle in complicated relationships where the baby is seen as something to bring them together or blame their journey for relationship havoc, when problems existed before the baby conversation

Rosanne identifies this as a common pattern where relationship problems are 'two sides of the same coin' - using baby to fix or blaming fertility journey for existing issues

You must honestly assess whether you'll allow yourself proper support when baby arrives, or if you're setting yourself up for martyrdom Olympics

Rosanne sees this especially in maxed-out professionals (physicians, lawyers, teachers, nurses, engineers, scientists) who tell themselves they're too tired but won't get help

Getting over what other people think is essential for fertility success - living at zero fucks requires absolute clarity about who you are and what you value

Women who truly took this to heart in the past eight years crushed this journey so hard they even surprised themselves, while others dimmed their light out of fear of judgment.

Most people live in survival mode and allegiance to fear, not aspiration - if you aren't careful, they will drag you down with them

Caring what others think is a setup for mediocrity because most people have beaten down their inner voice so far they can no longer hear but a whisper, and even that they try to shut up.

Being a careful curator of your friendships means only surrounding yourself with people who lift you up and share your values

Rosanne explains how her fertility journey taught her to curate relationships with like-minded people, leading to meaningful connections like her friendship with Wendee who shares growth mindset values

Eliminate people and things from your life that are not a vibrational match for where you're headed

Rosanne and her husband consciously stopped hanging around people who didn't match their direction during their breakthrough year, not from anger but for their own growth.

The first critical decision is to no longer tolerate any internal or external conversation that your baby is impossible

This decision became Rosanne's boundary about who would be the authority in her life - herself or someone else - leading directly to conceiving Asher naturally at 43.

Only accept information that helps you - if it's negative or irrelevant, ignore it completely

Claire told her actuary husband to only share statistics and research that would help their decisions, leading them to pursue experimental PRP treatment in Spain when UK clinics said no.

The feminine is not just soft and surrendered - it's also bloody righteous rage, unshakable boundaries, the power to burn down things that aren't serving us

Lauren references Goddess Kali energy and explains that most polarity work only teaches the soft side of feminine while ignoring the fierce protective aspects.

Standing firm in your knowing requires mama bear energy even before your baby arrives

Agata had to defend her choice against IVF to her husband and ignore people telling her to give up or adopt after almost 4 years trying, ultimately conceiving through IUI.

Protecting yourself from negativity, group think, and group fear is one of the most important forms of self-care for fertility success

Rosanne emphasizes this as critical mama bear energy development, which she used during her own successful pregnancy at 43 after previous treatment failures.

Growing mama bear energy means protecting your baby from negativity just as assiduously as you would protect them from alcohol or harmful substances

Rosanne developed this protective mindset during her successful pregnancy at 43, treating emotional and spiritual protection as equally important as physical protection.

People can talk a big game about wanting a baby, but if they're not doing the necessary actions or creating unnecessary barriers, you need to pay close attention to what they're actually communicating

Rosanne gives the example of when IVF is clearly needed due to missing tubes or male factor issues, but a partner refuses to do IVF - this behavior is saying something important about their actual commitment.

When you really love someone, you set them free - if they don't want to have a baby with you, you don't want to have a baby with them

Rosanne quotes Sting and explains this is about being a good mom and finding a parent you can co-parent with, emphasizing it's about your family's wellbeing.

Ask these questions not in an accusatory way but from love: 'I love you, I really want to have this baby, I want to know if you want to have this baby too'

Rosanne provides the exact script for having this conversation, emphasizing that when delivered with love rather than confrontation, it's about finding truth rather than making anyone wrong.

Speaking and hearing your own truth is one of the most important things you can do for fertility success

Austin developed this interactive dialogue format based on observing that her most successful clients across six continents learned to witness and speak their truth without judgment, which became a cornerstone of her methodology.

Doing your partner's emotional work breeds anger and resentment, which is like dropping a festering atom bomb into your relationship

Rosanne explains that when you do both parts in a relationship, your partner gets to go to sleep and you never have practical knowledge of whether they're actually engaged, based on her experience coaching women across six continents.

When you do your partner's math, you send them a signal that you don't trust them, which will clear a room like a pile of stinky socks

Rosanne teaches that meddling in your partner's emotional work prevents them from stepping into their role fully and contributes to them checking out of the relationship entirely.

Turning off fear-based media is self-preservation, not denial

Ben Schwartz distinguishes that consciously choosing not to watch TV or read news for a month to hike and meditate instead is self-preservation that restores sovereignty, while denial is unconscious.

The best trusted advisors are people you have zero baggage with - not friends or family who have expectations and limitations

Friends and family are shaped by their own fears and expectations, limiting their ability to help you move past beliefs they haven't overcome themselves.

A professional mentor has one thing in mind - helping you get what you want, without caring what others think

Unlike friends and family, professional mentors don't care what your mama thinks or what high school friends say - their sole focus is what you actually value when fear is tossed out the window.

Hiding truth from your partner isn't the smart play - it's the chicken shit play. There's nothing safe or smart about that.

Type A control freak women take on responsibility for everyone thinking it's safer, when this journey is exactly the time to allow yourself to receive support.

Standing by your hell yeses and hell nos will help you find unconditional love inside that makes you irresistible to the baby meant for you

The client who just announced her pregnancy trusted herself enough to change things up on her journey and tell her medical team exactly what she wanted, refusing to give up on her vision.

When family members consistently display problematic behaviors, accept this is how they are currently while taking adult responsibility for your own well-being and boundaries

Rosanne has coached women ages 28-54 across six continents for 12+ years, helping them navigate family dynamics during fertility journeys while maintaining their emotional equilibrium.

Tell your partner what you want from a place of love instead of dancing around the subject and ruminating for weeks

Rosanne coaches type A professional women including physicians, lawyers, teachers, nurses, artists, and bankers who struggle with direct communication

Take 15-minute breaks at work instead of hard charging constantly - this makes you more productive and your employer/clients will love you more

Rosanne coaches many type A control freaky professional women including physicians, lawyers, teachers, nurses, artists, and bankers who rarely take breaks

Say no instead of being too nice and saying yes to everything - be a grown up about boundaries

This relates to Rosanne's previous episode teaching about boundaries and is part of her systematic approach to helping women break limiting patterns

Being overly 'nice' on your fertility journey is a form of self-sabotage that blocks success

Rosanne conceived naturally at 43 after years of treatment failure by learning to prioritize herself strategically instead of pleasing everyone else

Compromise is a subtle thief of inner abundance and is primarily motivated by fear

Vernon Howard's wisdom reveals that most compromise comes from fear of losing love or approval, creating lack and scarcity rather than authentic generosity

People who shame you for prioritizing yourself are just mad they can no longer ride on your gravy train

The ugly truth about those who criticize self-priority is they benefited from your over-giving and manipulation, whether well-intentioned or not

Trusting yourself means being willing to endure the ridicule of others and choosing yourself and your mission no matter how sketchy things get

Rosanne faced skepticism when she left her prosecutor career and walked away from fertility treatments, but trusting herself led to conceiving naturally at 43.

The proof of what you believe you're worth is in your actions, not your words—there are tests of worthiness by the minute in how you respond to judgment and boundaries

Rosanne explains how tolerating idiotic conversations with judgmental relatives due to fear of not being loved is actually lack and scarcity thinking about love itself.

As a grown woman, you don't need your partner's permission - having their support is different from having their understanding or agreement

One of the most interesting tests of worthiness is how you respond to opposition - do you cave or do you move forward standing up for yourself?

Making bold requests in your relationship creates attraction and sets your partner up for success

Teresa used the 'Babe, I love you and here's what you need to know about me' framework to make clear requests, including sexual ones, which changed her posture and made her husband find her more attractive.

When people offer quick fixes like adoption or donor eggs, it reveals they don't understand your journey and may be uncomfortable with your tenacity because it reminds them of their own regrets

This pattern is observed across the women Rosanne coaches who report similar responses from family and friends who suggest giving up, reflecting the contrast between those who pursue dreams and those who wave the white flag.

Women fuck themselves over by allowing their partner's stories and manipulation to get in the way of what they want on their fertility journey

Rosanne sees women every day acting like it's 1950 instead of 2021, wasting precious time by not standing up in their power and leading in their feminine power without emasculating their partner.

The big lie is the belief that keeps you small, shuts you up, and prevents you from asking for what you want or taking a stand for your opinion

These saboteurs in our brains are literally tyrannical and keep us from speaking out, speaking up, and taking a stand for what we want on the fertility journey.

Come out of the closet as a woman who wants a baby - give yourself permission to be obsessed

Kate spent years apologetically trying not to be obsessed with getting pregnant, which kept her from taking strategic action until she embraced her desire fully.

The worst self-betrayal women commit is getting pregnant with a man who doesn't want children and having an abortion to stay with him

Dr. Northrup cites Janine Parvati Baker's book 'Conscious Conception' where Baker decided at 16 to never have sex with anyone she didn't want as a father of her children, eventually having six children with this discernment.

Staying in your lane means not taking on other people's fertility horror stories as your own

Yulia learned to shut down voices telling her that at 38, pregnancy would be difficult and full of complications. She stopped reading fertility drama online and focused only on her own story and journey.

Age-related fertility fears are other people's stories, not your truth

Yulia conceived naturally at 38 after refusing to accept stories about fertility difficulty after 35. She focused on her own journey rather than age-based statistics and conceived within months of mindset work.

Being all in transforms your communication with your partner - you stop hiding how badly you want the baby and stop settling for not being heard

Rosanne notes that conditional commitment leads to 'hiding out like freaking Batman' and settling for second best, while all-in energy changes everything about partner dynamics.

You must create a protective bubble around you of belief by immediately rejecting negative inputs about fertility

Rosanne teaches women to literally stop people mid-sentence when they start sharing negative fertility statistics or doom-and-gloom stories, as this active rejection prevents subconscious programming that undermines belief.

Getting your partner on the same page requires leading from purpose rather than desperation or blame

Robin transformed her communication with husband Chris from confrontational and desperate to sharing her heart and purpose, leading him to agree to one more IVF round after initially refusing any more treatment.

The lack of integrity inherent in excuses is one of the poisons that disempowers us on this journey

Rosanne explains that excuses are weak and lame and always catch up with you - they prevent you from being, doing, having and giving all you desire in life.

Boundaries don't mean anything if you don't enforce them - enforcement is where the rubber hits the road

Rosanne explains that setting boundaries without enforcement leaves both you and the other person unclear on expectations, making the boundary meaningless.

You must be crystal clear about why each boundary is important to you before you can effectively enforce it

Rosanne provides specific examples: knowing why it's important for your partner to show up to appointments, why you don't want your mother interfering in your baby timeline, and why you need your doctor to stop suggesting surrogacy.

Set boundaries when things are calm, not in the heat of battle, because people can't listen when they're defensive

Rosanne explains that setting boundaries during conflict sets both parties up for misery because the other person will be too defensive or distracted to hear you properly.

Once you start setting boundaries, expect others to start setting them with you - it's a two-way street

Rosanne notes this is why some people don't like setting boundaries - they don't want to be responsible for abiding by others' boundaries, and those who don't enforce their own are often the worst offenders of others'.

The aftermath is when the recipient gets to sit with, accept, or decline your boundary - this is when you must batten down the hatches

Rosanne explains the three possible responses: receptive/grateful acceptance, wrestling with their own conflict, or flat-out rejection or selective compliance.

When you can handle black and white boundary situations, you can better handle the gray areas

Rosanne uses the extreme IVF example to provide contrast and help women understand that once they grasp clear-cut situations, they can navigate more subtle boundary challenges.

If you find yourself flying off the handle over seemingly innocuous shit, there's a boundary that has gotten trampled so much your patience has worn thin, but you don't think you'll be loved if you enforce it

This pattern recognition comes from Rosanne's 12+ years coaching women who initially struggled with boundary enforcement due to fear of rejection

Setting boundaries has more to do with you than it does other people - you won't get past other people if you can't get right with you

This foundational principle underlies Rosanne's methodology that has helped women make their mom dreams come true around the world over 12+ years

Anyone who's anti-boundaries or doesn't respect your boundaries doesn't belong in your life - beware of anyone who makes you feel bad for having them

This relationship principle is part of Rosanne's methodology that has guided women across 6 continents to fertility success by removing toxic influences

Wise boundaries are those you actually believe in and enforce - that's easier when you know they are real for you, valid, and therefore to be valued

Rosanne's ability to enforce boundaries around her fertility journey led to natural conception at 43 after years of failed treatments

Determining your boundaries doesn't include asking what other people will tolerate - asking for someone's permission to have a boundary is not what a woman who wins does

This principle is central to Rosanne's methodology that has helped women beat the odds on their fertility journeys across 6 continents over 12+ years

Boundaries are simply the personal rules we choose to live by, particularly in how we interact with people

Rosanne defines boundaries in straightforward terms to remove the anxiety and drama many women associate with the concept, helping her clients across 6 continents implement them successfully.

Type A women tend to be wonderfully shitty about their own boundaries because the overachiever in us desires love and connection through pleasing or achieving

Rosanne's 12+ years coaching high-achieving women shows this pattern repeatedly - they can enforce workplace rules but struggle with personal boundaries due to their achievement-oriented mindset.

When assessing boundaries, ask: Do people get to be inconsiderate of you? Are you doing all the work while others are hangers on? Do people praise you for being easygoing?

These assessment questions come from Rosanne's 12+ years coaching women who often show up as the 'responsible one' on their fertility journey, doing all the work while partners and family members coast.

Do you show up like a man on this journey, doing all the work and letting your partner slide, bitch, or complain instead of asking for what you want

Rosanne sees this pattern consistently in her Fearlessly Fertile Method program where women take on masculine energy, managing everything while partners remain uninvolved in the fertility journey.

Poor boundaries create shitty feelings that manifest as unsatisfying relationships, being late, putting yourself last, being exhausted, and feeling strangely out of control

Rosanne's 12+ years coaching women shows this pattern consistently - high achievers who have their external life together but feel internally chaotic due to boundary issues that drain their energy for conception.

Poor boundaries can definitely create blocks between you and your baby because babies need space in our lives despite their diminutive size

Women in Rosanne's Fearlessly Fertile Method program who clear boundary blocks and create space in their lives often achieve natural pregnancies, as evidenced by the two new pregnancies announced this week after IVF failures.

The fertility journey can reveal and heal toxic relationship patterns that would sabotage parenthood

Kirsty discovered she was blaming her husband John for their delayed start and would explode in anger each month when her period came, but learned to communicate her needs clearly instead of expecting him to read her mind.

Competent women often disempower their partners by expecting them to operate at the same level without clear communication

Kirsty realized she expected John to read her mind about what she needed, then would get angry when he couldn't meet expectations she never clearly expressed, setting him up to fail.

Setting boundaries with negative family members protects your fertility energy and mental space

Diana learned to put her mother 'behind the velvet rope' when she became negative, even during pregnancy. She told a toxic friend 'I hope you find happiness the way I did' instead of engaging in drama.

What other people think about your fertility journey is completely irrelevant to your success

Drawing from her legal background as a former California prosecutor, Rosanne teaches women to object to irrelevant opinions just like inadmissible evidence in court.

Give your holidays a fearless twist by setting new boundaries, changing traditions, or showing up more authentically instead of just following what's always been done

Rosanne suggests practical examples like responding differently to intrusive baby questions ('Why is this so important to you? You gonna be paying for their college?') or replacing traditional elements that don't serve you anymore.

Drop the yoke of tradition if it doesn't feel good to you, and put your brand on what does feel great

Rosanne teaches this as part of giving holidays a fearless twist, suggesting alternatives like charity donations instead of gift exchanges, new menus, or even everyone wearing pajamas if it feels good.

Most people aren't thinking about you - they're thinking about themselves within the context of you

Rosanne explains that people bring their own judgments and biases, which is their problem, not yours. Only people who need boundaries give you static about your journey.

Self-respect feels good on you - investing in your wardrobe changes how people treat you and how you treat yourself

Morgan Wider shares the story of Hannah, a mother of two professionals who shared a closet with her 9-year-old daughter while her husband's clothes filled the master closet. After investing in herself, Hannah texted that people were treating her differently and self-respect felt good on her.

Sometimes changing doctors isn't about medical competence - it's about what works for your mental state

Suzanne's first doctor helped them conceive their daughter but their relationship broke down after repeated losses. She said 'every time I step foot in that clinic, my heart sank' and they 'hated going' because it became 'the place where we got bad news.'

Let the love you have for this child be the guiding principle from which all of your decisions are made on this journey

Rosanne provides specific examples of love-based decisions: letting go of negative relationships, leveling up your support team, finding new physicians, stepping away from news, or finally doing mindset work - all from love rather than lack and scarcity.

Curating your environment by changing media consumption and limiting time with unsupportive people is essential for fertility success

Sarah deliberately changed what media she consumed and adjusted time spent with certain people, focusing on 'finding the most supportive inputs' which contributed to her natural conception at 39.

Holding things in leads to festering and explosive moments where you blow up like 'straight up Britney shaving her head'

Rosanne identifies this pattern from coaching hundreds of women who suppress their needs until they explode, damaging relationships instead of building intimacy through honest communication.

When you allow your partner to know the truth about you and really see you, you can love and appreciate the truth about them

Rosanne teaches this principle from her experience as a former prosecutor understanding human psychology and 12+ years coaching women through fertility relationship challenges across four continents.

The desires that you have will not be achieved if you don't speak them

Rosanne applies this principle from her own journey conceiving naturally at 43 and from coaching women across six continents who transform their outcomes through authentic communication.

When you truly understand your divine nature, you'll stop approaching your fertility journey from a deficit and stop subordinating your truth to others' opinions

Rosanne explains that recognizing oneself as divine representation leads to confidence in personal truth rather than constantly seeking external validation from others' expectations or opinions.

Emotions are incredible indicators of your inner reality—anger shows boundary violations, sadness shows heart expansion, and all feelings deserve celebration not suppression

Darshan describes how patriarchal conditioning teaches women to repress desires and emotions, but reconnecting with authentic feelings provides guidance about boundaries, needs, and personal truth

Internet research and comparing your journey to others' stories derails focus and creates unnecessary anxiety

Myrna obsessively watched YouTube videos of other women's transfer experiences until she stopped because it was throwing her off focus and taking away from her own unique story.

Speaking your truth in relationships is one of the most loving things you can do because it lets people see the real you

Rosanne teaches that 'It's not rude to speak your truth, nor does it mean you don't love someone when you speak your mind. It's quite possibly one of the most loving things you can do because you're letting them see the real you.'

Living by hell yes or hell no removes other people's baggage from your life and creates authentic relationships based on choice, not obligation

Rosanne teaches: 'You will also notice that your life isn't so cluttered with other people's baggage when you live by hell yes and hell no... Everyone gets free from ridiculous juvenile expectations to be compliant... you'll come together knowing that whatever you're doing is from a place of loving choice, not obligation.'

You cannot abandon yourself during fertility treatment decisions - backing down from your truth leads to blame and relationship destruction

Sharon Pope emphasizes that if a woman wants to 'go to the mat' for fertility treatment but backs down due to partner pressure, she will regret it and blame him, causing the relationship to fail anyway. She stresses that he's going to find out who you really are regardless.

Arbitrary financial or treatment limitations reveal important information about your partner's values and commitment

Sharon Pope challenges the logic of saying 'it's worth it for $10K but I'll live without the family I want if it's $11K' - pointing out these are just random thoughts, not truth. She suggests this reveals critical information about who you're married to.

Compromise in relationships means nobody gets what they want - curiosity and understanding create better solutions

Sharon Pope rejects traditional compromise advice, explaining that watering down needs leads to resentment. Instead, she advocates stepping back to understand what's really important to each partner, which enables creative problem-solving rather than dead-end positions.

Not diving into difficult conversations with your partner is based purely on fear

Rosanne connects the podcast title 'Fearlessly Fertile' to relationship communication, pointing out that when partners avoid exploring difficult perspectives or decisions, fear is the only reason they don't investigate further.

Not letting your partner see the real you is deceptive and disingenuous - it's exhausting to hide who we are and robs them of the chance to truly be our partner

Rosanne shares from her own experience how fear led her to avoid vulnerability with her husband in the early days of their fertility journey, creating distance in their relationship until they put their cards on the table.

We play three-dimensional chess in our relationships, trying to do our partner's math and protect them from the truth of who we really are

Based on thousands of conversations with women on fertility journeys, Rosanne has witnessed how women twist themselves into pretzels, playing out scenarios with fifteen different endings to navigate around their partners.

Give yourself a chance to evolve together rather than trying to bridge the distance when it's too far apart

Rosanne learned this lesson through her own journey where fear initially had her and her husband in massive avoidance, tangoing through a minefield until they learned to put their cards on the table.

Coming out as spiritual to your partner can be a huge breakthrough in your relationship that gives you tremendous freedom

Rosanne shares her personal experience of nervously telling her skeptical husband that spirituality was important to her and would be more of a focus in her life, which became a game-changing moment in their relationship.

When you wear a mask, how will your baby ever find you? Stand up for the woman you choose to be

Rosanne connects authenticity with fertility success, drawing from her methodology that has helped women around the world make their mom dreams come true, with four successes in recent weeks as of this recording.

Notice your comparison story intimately and be prepared to say 'I will not engage in acts of violence against myself'

This is the exact method Rosanne teaches women across six continents who have successfully conceived using her approach to break free from self-destructive thought patterns.

Protecting your peace at all times is essential for living your fertility journey like a woman who succeeds

Rosanne conceived naturally at 43 after years of treatment failure by implementing mindset principles including peace protection, and now coaches women across six continents using these same strategies.

Your peace is your responsibility - not your partner's, friends', family's, or anyone else's

Through coaching thousands of women worldwide, Rosanne has observed that peace on the fertility journey starts with what you choose to allow in your life, requiring personal ownership rather than external validation.

Protecting your peace means cutting the bullshit out of your life and deciding to be the grown up in your life

Rosanne transformed from a type-A control freak perfectionist to conceiving naturally at 43 by implementing these boundary-setting principles, which she now teaches to help women take control of their fertility journeys.

You must create a peace protecting statement (PPS) to use when your peace is being disturbed

Rosanne developed this practical tool after recognizing that women need concrete language strategies to maintain boundaries, exemplifying with 'I love you, but this conversation does nothing for my peace. I'm not having it.'

Setting peace-protecting boundaries is excellent training for motherhood because you won't allow people to talk crazy to your child

Rosanne connects fertility journey boundary-setting to future parenting skills, noting that women who learn to protect their peace during fertility treatment are better equipped to advocate for their children later.

If people around you speak fear, negativity, jealousy, and comparison, it's your responsibility to tell them you don't want any part of that mess

Through her work with thousands of women globally, Rosanne has identified that taking responsibility for cutting off negative influences is crucial for maintaining the mindset necessary for fertility success.

Trying to please haters is a waste of your life because they will move the ball every time you try - they have an ever-changing litmus test

Rosanne observes that haters are only fueled by attempts to please them and have 'an equal hating opportunity for anyone that disrupts the flow of their comfortable mediocrity.'

Multiple self-sabotage behaviors block quantum leaps including subordinating intuition, treating yourself like a child with money, and playing painfully small

Rosanne lists specific blockers: letting others' opinions dictate your course, hiding truth from your partner, choosing convention over intuition, and living so small that your 80-year-old self would shake her head in disgust.

We often belittle our own desires, treating them like spurious aspirations of a woman who wants too much - quit doing that and treat your desire to be a mom like your fucking mission

Rosanne observes this pattern consistently in her 12+ years coaching women on fertility, noting how self-belittlement undermines success more than external obstacles.

Quitters love to encourage you to give up like they did so they don't feel guilty about stopping short of their dreams

Rosanne's 10 years in the courtroom gave her 'rhinoceros skin' to stand by her belief that motherhood is meant for her clients, despite outside negativity.

The most loving thing you can do for your partner is to stand in your god given power

Shirking decision-making responsibility onto your partner is actually the burden - partners need to trust that you can make decisions for yourself.

You have permission to leave any situation where you feel you're drowning, without explanation

As a grown woman, if you arrive somewhere and things go sideways with that terrible knot in your stomach, you can just bounce—no explanations needed to anyone.

You are not responsible for other people's happiness during the holidays or any other time

Women on fertility journeys are typically type A doers and gladiators who give so much throughout the year, but without taking restorative time, they end up burnt out and hating the holidays.

The people in your life will get over it when you set boundaries—they're adults responsible for their own happiness

If you decide not to go to Aunt Martha's house because you're sick of her getting drunk and causing bullshit, Aunt Martha will get over it—and if she doesn't, that says more about her than you.

Family secrets and shame, especially around pregnancy loss, can create blocks to conception across generations

Hemla worked with a 45-year-old woman who had never shared her multiple abortions with anyone. Her mother also had an abortion before immigration. These family secrets around pregnancy loss affected her ability to conceive when ready.

You must be willing to fire providers who don't believe in your vision, regardless of their credentials or reputation

Dr. Lucy, despite being a physician herself, let go of medical providers who didn't support her natural conception goals and only worked with practitioners who believed in her body's ability to conceive naturally.

This fertility journey sucks away our willingness to be fierce, maybe because it's intimate by nature or preys upon our sense of self worth

Allowing this to happen is self-sabotaging bullshit because the reality is the time to be invested is now. Women who are truly invested in being a mom cannot afford to hold back or live with the searing pain of regret.

Holding back on the fertility journey comes down to good old fashioned societal misogyny - good girls are supposed to be polite and consider other people's feelings

When a man wants something, he fucking goes and gets it and we applaud him as a go getter. It's 2019 - time to put on your big girl panties and rock your fertility journey by asking for and getting what you want.

Your inauthenticity in decision-making hurts both you and the people you think you're sparing - it creates resentment and friction

Through coaching hundreds of women on fertility journeys, Roseanne has seen how unclear boundaries and indecisive communication damage relationships during already stressful times.

Both 'hell yes' and 'hell no' feel amazing energetically because they represent freedom and owning what's real for you

Through 390+ podcast episodes and years of coaching, Roseanne has taught this energetic principle to help women break free from people-pleasing patterns that drain fertility energy.

Many women think they're ready for motherhood because they have external success, but internal readiness requires different lessons entirely

Rosanne had external success as a lead prosecutor with designer shoes and a beautiful home, but was internally insecure, perfectionist, and had poor boundaries. She learned essential lessons including patience, self-trust, and surrendering control before conceiving naturally at 43.

You are a grown ass woman with a job—if you want something, sister, go get it. Your partner is not your parent.

The excuse of needing to ask your husband first is total bullshit—it's one thing to let your partner know you're doing something, it's another to ask for permission.

You must surround yourself with people who lift you up on this journey because so much of the world tries to bring you down by tamping down your expectations

The retreat attendees purposely chose a group of high vibrational women rather than a sewing circle of people who just want to feel bad for themselves, understanding that community matters for success.

This question serves as a filter for freak out and a barrier against bullshit from other people's horror stories

Rather than taking on the story of someone's uncle's sister's hairstylist who underwent fifteen rounds of IVF and went broke, you can ask what that has to do with your unique situation.

Being inundated with other people's opinions can cause you to completely lose touch with what actually matters to you and what feels right

Rosanne explains that the noise from friends, family, and fertility culture can leave women so rundown they can't tell up from down, requiring breaks to reconnect with their own instincts and priorities.

When you treat your fertility journey as part of your life's purpose, you make decisions with more discernment and only select people who truly believe in you

Rosanne teaches that women who approach fertility as life purpose stop settling for 'bargains' and build better support teams, leading to success across 6 continents of clients.

You don't have to completely sacrifice yourself and your personal satisfaction to be a great mother

Rosanne refuses to do multiple sports every weekend, calling it martyrdom, and believes in a 'yes and' approach where both mother and children can be happy and satisfied, having raised her son for eight years with this philosophy.

People treat us the way we train them to - holiday guilt and pressure is often self-created and can be changed

Rosanne states directly: 'people treat us the way we train them to. So if you find yourself in a bind right now feeling all kinds of shame and guilt, that's all stuff that you created.'

Playing nice is actually passive aggressive manipulation where you care more about what other people might think than what's true and where you're headed on your journey

Rosanne explains that people who think you're 'the nicest' are usually those who benefit most from you not speaking truth, saying 'you're fucking bending to their will while you quietly hate them.'

When you're not telling people the truth about what you want, you don't give them a legitimate chance to help you and you're actually disrespecting them

Rosanne explains 'you're also assuming that if you come out as who you actually are with your actual truth that you'll be rejected. You're not actually letting people step up to the plate.'

People-pleasing is not virtuous - it's about keeping others happy while having no integrity with yourself

Rosanne explains that many professionals (lawyers, doctors, nurses, engineers) are conditioned to look at worst-case scenarios and worship statistics, which undermines self-trust.

When you presuppose that others can't handle your truth, you are actually dishonoring them - we're all grown ups dealing with grown ups

Rosanne applies this principle with medical professionals and family members, teaching women to speak directly about their fertility choices without protecting others' feelings.

Women mistakenly believe they must kowtow to their partner's fears to be loving and supportive, when the partner could be completely wrong

Being fearful doesn't make someone right or more informed - couples can disagree respectfully while each holding their position, and women don't automatically need to submit to fear-based thinking

Nobody's actually thinking about you - they're thinking about themselves within the context of you, so worrying about their opinions is pointless distraction

Women dim their light out of fear of what partners or family will think, letting other people's fears drive their choices and rationalizing it as the right thing to do.

People can use faith and gratitude to keep you small by saying 'it's not your time' or 'wait on the Lord' - block out those voices and trust what's in your heart

Tania had to eliminate people who said 'it's not your time' or 'wait on the Lord' because those phrases were perceived as negative and interfered with her faith-driven preparation for her baby.

Boundaries aren't barbed wire fences - they're velvet ropes around your VIP room, and you belong in that VIP room.

Karen transformed from fearing boundaries to loving them, realizing she wasn't pushing people away but protecting her energy. She went from feeling isolated to feeling empowered as the VIP of her own life.

Instead of money excuses, say 'I'm committed to doing this, I'm finding the money, I'm gonna figure this out - money is a renewable resource and I'm not letting it get in my way'

Rosanne provides specific language to replace excuse-making with empowering truth-telling that acknowledges fear while committing to action anyway.

Boundaries are about setting everyone up for success with you and are one of the most loving things we can put in place for our relationships

In Rosanne's Fearlessly Fertile Method program, women who implement loving boundaries see improved relationships and better support on their fertility journey, contributing to the natural pregnancies her clients achieve.

Women on this journey live like Batman or Catwoman - appearing to have their shit together on the outside while being a mess on the inside

Rosanne draws from 12+ years coaching women ages 28-54 who present as capable but struggle internally with fertility challenges, leading to explosive moments instead of honest communication.

What we think is protecting them or keeping the peace is actually robbing our partner of the chance to really be our partner and selling them short

Rosanne emphasizes that treating partners like they can't handle whatever you're facing is disrespectful - you're a grown up, they're a grown up, let them have a chance to step up.

None of the hate has anything to do with you - it's about the hater's own self-loathing and what they're doing to themselves

Rosanne explains that behind every hater is 'a monumental level of self loathing' and they are 'eating themselves alive' - what they do to you 'barely scratches the surface of what they are doing to themselves.'
