DeepSummary
In this episode, Jana Kramer interviews Roseanne Austin about her journey with infertility and the mindset changes that helped her conceive her 'miracle boy' at age 44. Roseanne discusses the pressure and fear she felt during her 7-year struggle with infertility, trying various treatments and diets to no avail. She realized she needed to shift her mindset, beliefs, and thought patterns to become more fertile.
Roseanne encourages women to see statistics and diagnoses as just one data point, not a final verdict, and to have compassion for themselves through the difficult journey. She advises looking for positive stories of women conceiving later in life, avoiding shame and masculine measures of success, and trusting that the desire for motherhood means it's meant for them.
Jana and Roseanne also discuss the high costs of fertility treatments like IVF, the unfair labeling of women over 35 as 'geriatric,' and the need to prioritize family-building. Roseanne's key message is for women to lean into their femininity, receive support, and believe in their innate fertility power.
