Living In Abundance While Battling Infertility

Can we just talk about how much fertility treatments cost?! It is unreal. It can be so overwhelming how much test, medications, and even just a doctor visit costs!

We all have a story we tell ourselves about money, “There is never enough money,” “I could never afford that,” “I am not enough to have nice things,” etc. None of these stories that we tell ourselves serve us. I have been trying hard to change my mindset to live in abundance. When you live in abundance you believe that there is always more and there is plenty of money, love, attention, success, opportunities etc.

As I have tried to change my money story from scarcity to abundance, I first listed my talents, & then made a plan to do something with them. I really love to bake. So I have put myself out there in a vulnerable space to sell cakes. I have also been making gourmet caramel apples.

I have a really lofty goal to take my kids to Disneyland and Universal Studios and then come home to start IVF. I am so super grateful for all I have. I keep up on my gratitude general, but I know that I can be and do more as well.

My attitude has been completely different since switching my mind to live in abundance. I no longer tell myself things like “ugh IVF is so much! We will never be able to do that.” Instead, I tell myself something like, “There are so many opportunities out there. God has blessed me with skills and talents to grab those opportunities. I am going to hustle and work hard to get the things that we want and need.”

In a few weeks, I am going to launch an Etsy shop. I have so many great printables for y’all and cake toppers. It has been so much fun to do. Living abundantly has given me a sense of purpose and I have been able to be a better mom, friend, wife, etc.

I am obsessed with podcasts! I love them. @jodymoorecoaching has a podcast called Better Than Happy. It will honestly change your life. Listen to episode #113. She explains gratitude, desire, and abundance so beautifully.
