I was so excited when I learned that Rosanne Austin had a book coming out because I've been following her Fearlessly Fertile mindset approach to trying to conceive for a while now through her podcast series, Instagram, and coaching. I find her message refreshingly uplifting, optimistic and life-enhancing. Hers is a unique voice that rises above the quagmire of woe-is-me, low-energy, nothing-new advice for the fertility-challenged.
Now, I have to admit I was shocked when I saw the provocative title to the book! Please don't let it put you off. You'll very quickly discover that what this book is about is approaching having a baby (or another one) from a place of "calm knowing" and positive mindset. Now this might seem obvious to you, but most women (myself included) jump into panic mode when they don't conceive on schedule. Panic soon leads to scouring the internet for advice on diet, exercise, positions, acupuncture, etc, etc. Rosanne's message is: what good are these things if your mind, your very being, is full of fear, doubt and negativity? In a nutshell, she shows you how changing your mindset, or how you think and act, can bring home your baby!
The book is really helpful because Rosanne breaks down her Fearlessly Fertile method into specific advice from building a ride-or-die BumpSquad to IF-proofing your relationship with your partner, and sets you thought-provoking challenges to apply in your own life. She also includes inspirational stories from her own journey to motherhood at age 43, conceiving her son naturally after years of "failed" fertility treatments, and the journeys of women around the world whom she's coached to success. I happen to know a few of them, so these amazing stories are for real.
On finishing the book, one of the pieces of advice that I immediately put into action to up my come-to-momma game was "acting like I'm already a mom." For me, this meant entering and taking a leisurely walk around the gorgeous playground near my house which I'd never dared to enter before because I do not have a child with me. Doesn't sound like much, but I walk past the place twice a day to and from work. Now instead of looking at it with unfulfilled longing, misery and outsider-syndrome, I smile when I think about all the fun that my baby and I will have there and how fortunate we are to have such a great place to play so close to home!
I could go on and one about this book, and Rosanne's work. So I'll conclude by saying that whether you’re thinking about or have just started trying to conceive, or you've been trying for longer than you'd envisaged, whether you're trying for your first child, or growing your family even more, this book is for you. I wish I'd had this book at my fingertips when I started my long journey four years ago. It would have saved me a lot of wasted energy and pointless tears. Now I'm moving forward confident in the knowledge that my baby will be joining my husband and me soon.
