Helping you gain greater clarity about infertility – one story at a time!

The Self-Aware Foundation Stone

Infertility is a complex topic with many moving parts, but the infertility specific to your body is due to a much smaller subset of issues.  Your job is to identify them – my job is to help you do that.  The challenge is to narrow your focus to what matters and ignore the distractions and noise – then get to work making changes.

Of all the tools that could help you do this better; one stands out above the rest and is a skill that can be practiced – self-awareness.  It helps you connect the dots between cause and effect – without even needing to understand the science behind the dots, because ultimately you connect them using whatever internal language works for you.  Whenever I do this – I notice that!

Self-awareness can be practiced in many ways, but at its core simply involves being able to observe yourself from a third person perspective, and then having the courage to make different choices based on what you learn – and see if things get better!

I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone though, it’s way too scary.  I hear that once you get good at it you’re left with nowhere to hide from yourself.
