Perfectly Imperfect with Leslie Regalado

In this week’s episode, I’m excited to have Tatiana Recondo join me to discuss a topic that most don’t talk about but many are affected by: Infertility.

Many women feel alone as they struggle to get pregnant, decide which treatments to pursue and cope with the frustration and pain of not being able to conceive. According to statistics, 1 in 6 couples attempting pregnancy will have difficulty achieving pregnancy.

In our conversation, Tatiana talks about her desire for motherhood and always knowing that she would be a mommy. She walks us through what it was like to go through IVF, becoming a mommy for the first time, Loss, attempting IVF again unsuccessfully and finding out she was pregnant with her 2nd Miracle Baby!

Understanding the difference between High Standards & Unrealistic Expectations in your Relationship can make for a successful relationship or for one that causes you and your partner much pain! Standards are factual, they are the baseline of equality that drives effective actions and good decision making. Expectations on the other hand are internal and can lead to disappointment when they don’t match with what others deliver. Communication is so vital in a relationship and we must communicate our expectations with our partner if we expect to have a healthy, strong and lasting relationship. We cannot settle nor lower our standards because deep inside we know what we want and need and settling for less than that will keep us far away from the happiness we can experience. Don’t miss out on living the heck out of your life by settling for someone who doesn’t make you better when you’re with them.

Looking back to my younger years I’m sometimes amazed at how my life turned out. It’s not exactly what I had planned and I am so grateful for that. In today’s episode I’m sharing some advice that I’d like to give my younger self if I had the chance to hang out with her for a day. I would love for her to know that she’s going to be alright, actually better than alright! That she’s enough and that being her self and being true to who she is will bring her the most joy. Everything she goes through, she’ll go through for a reason. And most importantly, to enjoy the journey and to not try to rush to get to the destination. I would remind her that when she looks back, I promise she will be able to connect the dots and it will all make so much sense. Make the mistake, face all your fears head on and live life to the fullest because this is not a dress rehearsal!!! We get ONE Life!

How often do we look to others to make us happy? After all, isn’t it their responsibility? How many times have we been disappointed because of this? Probably too often to remember. Get ready to learn that our happiness is our responsibility and no one else’s. It’s definitely not our partner’s although we often think so. Too often we make the mistake and look to our partners to always be the person to lift us up in times of need. Unfortunately they won’t always live up to the expectation and they’re going to let us down. The fact that we make our happiness our partner’s responsibility is pretty wild though because we are asking a flawed individual to be perfect in that one area of their lives. I don’t know about you but that kind of pressure would drive anyone away. So get ready and let’s dive into this conversation where you’ll hear some great ideas of what to do that can contribute to you being happier. I even get a bit emotional while sharing a personal story. Thank you for listening and make sure to Subscribe & review!
