**Trigger Warning**

I'm sharing my infertility journey with you to let you know you're not alone. If you're silently struggling like I was, have LOTS of conflicting emotions when it comes to trying again, seeing your friends get pregnant, or handling the well intended advice from others who have no idea what you're going through, this might help. 

**IF YOU'RE NOT IN A PLACE WHERE THIS WILL BE HELPFUL, PLEASE TUNE INTO MY NEXT EPISODE.*** Reach out privately if you'd like an ear to listen or come back when you feel more ready. 

 I want you to know that your feelings are valid and real and ok and I love you.

I also 3 thing NOT to say to someone struggling with infertility or pregnancy loss and what to say instead. We know you mean well and we appreciate you, these words don't help though.

How many times have you replayed scenarios over and over and OVER in your head kicking yourself for something you did or DIDN'T do? Did you know that getting stuck in those experiences actually hold us back from improving to gaining the courage and confidence to go out and create NEW ones? You are SO much more than your past and it does NOT have to dictate your future. Let's have a little chat about exactly HOW to do this in your day to day!

Takeaways:

1. Your past does not dictate your future.

2. Get clear on your vision for your life - short and long term. DREAM FUCKING BIG.

3. Get off auto-pilot! Become aware of the thoughts/stories playing on repeat in your mind.

4. Acknowledge them and do so without judgement.

5. Ask yourself "What would I do if I was feeling/thinking/living my very BEST?" Make decisions from THAT place, not the past.

6. Your progress is directly related to your willingness to get uncomfortable.

7. What have you been unintentionally choosing because you're not intentionally changing?

If you get overwhelmed when thinking about starting something - a fitness goal, career change, LAUNDRY - gross, break it down. You DO NOT have to do everything right now. Baby steps are where it's at. Taking smaller bites of something makes it more digestible and although we don't see the different right away, one day, it'll reach the boiling point and you'll look back and be able to see all the difference each day made.

Let's chat more!

Meet Ann-Marie! She was drowning in motherhood and the only place/time she felt worthy was at her job. She felt hopeless and like where she was at 6 months ago was where she was going to be for the rest of her life. Fortunately, we connected on Instagram and the rest is her story to tell! Listen in on her growth and how she's transformed into a completely different version of herself using PCA and the tiny baby steps we worked on together. She found more freedom with food, changed her default mindset, and is even working on launching her own blog to share the hilarity and real life moments with her 3 little girls. 

Enjoy!

Do you fall into the all-or-nothing mindset? You expect perfection and when it (inevitably) doesn’t go as expected, you throw in the towel. Tune in for a bite-size episode full of tips to help you get back on the wagon once and for all!

Takeaways: 

1. Set a goal and get clear on what it will take to reach it. THEN Ask yourself if you're truly willing to do those things. 

2. Envision the unsexy daily things that it's going to take vs. just the end result.

3. If you're have a hard time giving yourself grace when things don't go perfectly, apply the situation to someone else you love and start talking to yourself the way you'd talk to them.

4. Focus on the action, not the outcome. 

5. Get comfortable and ok with all the happy consequences that will come from taking action toward your goal.
