Fear can make you talk yourself out of what you truly want, even convincing yourself you want something completely different
Kelly and her husband convinced themselves they didn't want kids and could 'travel instead' when they were overwhelmed by IVF failure, even though they 'don't even like to travel.' They realized this was fear talking, not their true hearts.
▶ 22:56Accepting where you are on your journey, without looking backward with regret, is essential for moving forward
Kelly accepted that she chose to start her family journey later in life and didn't regret it, saying 'I always saw myself as an older mom.' This acceptance allowed her to embrace donor egg IVF.
▶ 26:12Daily structure with morning practices creates the foundation to combat negative thoughts and keep moving forward
Kelly established a routine of getting up at the same time daily, working out, journaling, and meditating for almost a year. She'd listen to Fearlessly Fertile podcasts during walks to maintain strength when facing the unknown.
▶ 12:30Donor egg conception can become an exciting, even fun experience once you move past initial fears and judgments
Kelly went from thinking donor eggs were 'something out of a sci-fi movie' to finding the process 'almost fun' and celebrating each successful milestone. She got 9 embryos compared to only 1 from her own eggs.

▶ 18:18You must keep living your best life while trying to conceive, not put everything on hold
Kelly and her husband built a new house and advanced their careers during treatment, with her husband building and selling a company. When their baby arrived, they had created a beautiful life to welcome her into.
▶ 14:01You have to choose your vision for your life over your fear, which causes you to make a different quality of decision
Kelly chose her baby over her fear of donor eggs, moving from thinking it was impossible to having her 'dream' baby girl at 45. She describes her daughter as 'like an angel' and 'delicious.'
▶ 3:05When you're dead inside from fertility struggles, it's really hard to call in a life
Kelly describes being 'a shell of herself' and knowing she 'couldn't be a mother like this.' After mindset work, she became the vibrant woman who welcomed her baby daughter.
