Let me introduce myself… I was like YOU! I lived with the emotional rollercoaster and anguish of monthly failures. It was like being a pincushion with all the blood tests. At one point, it felt like I was having more intimate time with the ultrasound probe than my husband! I was getting depressed, it was affecting my marriage, and I feeling like a failure as a woman. It started with the voice of the doctor telling my Mum that I would “struggle to get pregnant” after I had a normal appendix removed. The true reason for my ‘acute appendicitis’ was a...

As someone who personally struggled with fertility challenges, I understand the monthly emotional rollercoaster many women experience when trying to conceive. That's why I'm passionate about helping women realize that their history does not have to be their destiny. Through my own journey and years of working with clients, I've discovered that our thinking patterns and vision for the future play a crucial role (about 90%) in achieving pregnancy success.
I introduce the concept of the "language of success" - a proven process originally developed by Napoleon Hill and later codified by Mary Morrissey. This approach focuses on the power of our thoughts, which create vibrations in our body, leading to emotions that drive our actions and ultimately determine our results.
To illustrate this concept, I share a relatable example of how different people react to being cut off in traffic. This demonstrates how our thinking patterns directly influence our emotional responses and subsequent actions, creating either positive or negative ripple effects throughout our day.
The core of this episode focuses on creating your Beautiful Baby Blueprint, which includes several key components:
1. Timing - Writing from a future perspective (3-5 years ahead)
2. Using the power question "What would you love?" instead of "What do I want?"
3. Incorporating four main life areas:
- Health and wellness
- Relationships
- Vocation
- Time and money freedom
I provide specific guidance on crafting your blueprint effectively:
- Use present tense language
- Include specific details
- Incorporate all five senses
- Express positive emotions
- Include gratitude
- Focus on approach goals rather than avoidance goals
To demonstrate these principles, I share a client's beautiful baby blueprint example, which perfectly illustrates how to weave together specific details, emotions, and sensory experiences into a compelling vision.
The key takeaway is that this isn't just a one-time exercise - I recommend working with your blueprint twice daily until you achieve your desired outcome. While this may seem like a significant commitment, it's a small investment compared to the potential impact on your fertility journey.
I wrap up by emphasizing that while the "what" (your vision) accounts for 90% of success, the "how" is still important. I invite listeners to join me in the following episodes where I'll be diving into my Body Basics series, covering four fundamental pieces critical for fertility success.
