SHOW NOTES: Episode 21
Thoughts about ourselves, like our confidence, our beliefs and our stories about ourselves are put to the test whether we are going through an infertility journey or not. Today, for the month of February, right near Valentine's Day, I want to share my thoughts about a love challenge and cultivating more love and acceptance in yourself.
On today’s episode I want to challenge you to sit down at some point this month and come up with 28 things that you love about yourself. There are so many things about us we can love about our personality, about the way we show up in the world, about just so many different things. I am sharing my list as inspiration for you in different areas of your life so that maybe you could find things that you love about yourself too.
Here is what I love about myself:
1. I love my ability to experience the emotion of love.
2. I love the function of my brain in the fact that it really loves to deep think about my thoughts.

4. I love my passion for self growth and for increasing my knowledge and always learning.
5. I love my height. For those of you that don't know, I'm just over six feet tall.

17. I love that I have learned this ability to prioritize myself.
18. I love my long hair.
19. I love that I am very happy with my face. I don't have a bunch of terrible things to say about my face.

MORE ABOUT THE PATH TO MOTHERHOOD PODCAST:
Welcome to The Path to Motherhood Podcast. I’m your host Sarah Brandell and I’m a fertility life coach, wife, and a mother on a mission to help you manage your mind and emotions around fertility and trying to conceive. I know where you are because I’ve been there. I have been through the long journey to motherhood, the waiting, the appointments, the testing, the unanswered questions, the medications, the shots and I am ready to help.
This podcast is for you if you are ready to learn how to navigate your path to motherhood authentically while honoring the emotions but also cultivating some hope. Join us each Monday as we walk through how to use the power of coaching to not only feel better along the way but also feel like you have an identity out of just trying to conceive.
