I had a tough month. Bouts of anxiety and thoughts of fear were running the show. I have no shame around disclosing this because in life, this happens. Especially as a woman on her reproductive journey. A women’s reproductive journey is a rollercoaster. From conception, to sometimes loss, to pregnancy, to birth, to motherhood. It’s a motherfucking rollercoaster. What the movies depict is getting a positive pregnancy test and all of a sudden… she’s pushing out the baby, is bull shit. There is SO MUCH in between. What my perfectionist brain showed me, which was a re-run of a movie trailer of a very pregnant me, running through a flower field - coupled with a flower crown of course - was bull shit. There was SO MUCH in between. And the so-much-in-between is NORMAL. What can occur on the journey and so many women share with me that they experience, are the paralyzing thoughts and feelings of anxiety. Uncertainty of the future. And discomfort in not knowing what’s next on the fertility journey. So in this week’s podcast, I’m sharing with you how I moved through my anxious month. It was life-changing to learn what I’m about to share with you. The gist? Anxiety is mainly a big fat liar. A liar that loves you and cares about you. Nonetheless, a liar liar pants on fire. Today’s podcast: Let go of 3 lies anxiety tells you. Without awareness around these lies, anxiety will continue to run your life and your fertility journey. It will continue to be the driving force behind your actions. OR the alternative, is to listen to the podcast and find your way out. Listen now mama-bear.
