It might be hard for you to believe this right now… but ➡️there will be a day when your fertility journey will be over ⬅️
One day in the future, this chapter of your life will be completed 📕 All your current questions will have answers ✅ You will know HOW you finally got pregnant. Hallelujah! 🙏🏽
You’ll know what astrological sign your baby is. Your pregnancy will have lined up with some celebrity's pregnancy. You’ll know what this infamous tiny human looks like. It will all make sense!
My question for you RIGHT NOW on this journey, is the same question Elizabeth Gilbert (author of Eat, Pray, Love) asked me when I asked if she had any advice for someone about to write a book:
(If you don’t already know, my new book - Fertile Ground - comes out May 8th!🎉And I had the chance to see Liz Gilbert live and ask her a question.)
She said, “Aren’t you curious to know who you’ll become in the process of writing this book?”
She didn’t ask if I was curious to see how the book turned out. Or how it will change the world.
She invited me to become more interested in how it will change ME for the better.
So I’ll ask you right now mama bear, “Aren’t you curious to know who you’ll become in the process of your fertility journey?”
When you’re rocking your baby to sleep at night… aren’t you curious to see who you will become?
The immense value of your fertility journey isn’t just in the outcome.
It’s in the value of YOU in this lifetime.
Your life goes on beyond this journey. And who you decide to become right now — on the journey to your baby — matters tremendously.
For example, do you decide to lean into this journey of self-discovery, or shy away and focus on the physical? Do you learn how to offer yourself empathy and compassion in times of difficulty, or is shame your driving force? Do you want to do less and with more presence, or is perfectionisms impossible rules still driving?
Speaking for myself, I don’t think I would have ever decided to write a book, if I hadn’t learned everything I did on the fertility journey. I’m feeling so many correlations in the journey to create my book baby and the journey to create my human baby. The feelings are very familiar.
The only reason I felt equipped to handle writing a book is because of my fertility journey. Not just because TTC is the complete concept of the book LOL. But because I learned that I can do hard, scary, big things. I learned that I have a lot to offer the world. I learned I’m worthy of creating what I want.
