Fertility Is a Power Move for High-Achieving Women

Fertility mindset coach Rosanne Austin explains why highly successful women need a different approach to their fertility journey, outlining four key strategies for professional women navigating fertility challenges.

Teachings 3

  • High-achieving women need a completely different fertility playbook because what made them professionally successful may work against them on their fertility journey

    Austin works with physicians, lawyers, engineers, scientists, professional athletes, C-suite executives of multibillion dollar corporations who recognize when their skillset has run out

  • High-achieving women are outliers who shouldn't be held to average statistics or standards because they have superior self-care, resources, and circumstances

    Austin notes that 40-50 year old fertility statistics don't apply to today's successful women who have access to better supplements, longevity tools, and aren't aging the same way

  • Successful women are meant to have it all and shouldn't compare themselves to average standards or feel guilty about wanting a big life

    Austin describes her clients as 'spotted and covered in diamonds kind of bear' who cannot hold themselves to standards of someone who hasn't achieved one-tenth of what they've done

Perspectives 3

  • Successful women should own their achievements without shame and recognize they deserve fertility success just as much as professional success

    Austin addresses women who feel bad about their success and think maybe being a mom wasn't meant for them, challenging the false merit hierarchy belief

  • Forty is not old for successful women - it's when they're truly beginning to blossom and are in their prime position for motherhood

    Austin explains successful women spend their 20s and 30s getting education and mastery, often finding worthy partners in their 40s when they have better financial position and self-knowledge

  • The fertility journey is a dial-up, not a dial-back of life - it's an opportunity to expand vision and skill set rather than choose between career and family

    Austin challenges the garbage belief that women must choose between having a family and career, emphasizing successful women were never meant to live by average standards

Quotable Moments 4

  • Don't be ashamed of your success, you fucking earned it

    Rosanne Austin
  • You are an outlier because of who you are in the world. And therefore, chances are you're gonna be an outlier when it comes to your fertility journey

    Rosanne Austin
  • This journey is not a dial back of your life. Frankly, it's a dial up

    Rosanne Austin
  • You cannot possibly put a woman who had the courage to go to law school, medical school, nursing school, business school in the same category as Sally Sadzak who can't hold a job

Why do successful women need a different fertility approach

What made them successful in their career may actually be working against them on their fertility journey

Rosanne Austin

Successful women need a different fertility playbook because their professional skills and mindset may work against them on their fertility journey. They require strategies that honor their achievements and high standards rather than the victim mentality common in fertility spaces.

Is 40 too old to get pregnant for successful women

Forty isn't old. It's just now when you are starting to bloom

Rosanne Austin

No, 40 is not too old for successful women - it's actually when they're beginning to blossom. They've spent their 20s and 30s building careers and often find worthy partners in their 40s when they have better financial position and self-knowledge.

Should successful women feel ashamed about wanting both career and family

The idea that you have to choose between having a family, having a career is garbage

Rosanne Austin

Absolutely not. Successful women should own their achievements without shame and recognize they're meant to have it all. The idea that you must choose between career and family is outdated and doesn't apply to high-achieving women.
