Hey all! So for the last two days while I walk the dogs, I have been listening to this really great infertility summit hosted by the dynamic and amazing Renee Waggener, fellow Life Coach and trained at iPEC, like me. I have listened to two topics the first on creating Miracles within yourself through your mindset, the second on the spirit of your baby. Today’s topic was “Baby Spirit and Calling in the Soul That was Meant for You,” which I have to admit I was skeptical of what the content of this would be, however, I followed my intuition and was so grateful I listened in.
The basic concept is that when you decide that you want a baby, you are already a parent even without a physical child that you have carried in your womb. So, if you are already a parent, what are you doing on a daily basis to get in the way of that baby becoming a tangible entity for you? We are first parents to ourselves and if there are ways that we are not parenting ourselves in a way that we expect to parent that baby we want so desperately, then we can pass on those unresolved issues to our child…and even further, maybe those issues aren’t allowing the baby to happen. WOW, did this ever hit home for me!!!!
What does being a mother mean to me and how am I being that idealistic mother to myself? What hurts do I have that I have not completely healed that are blocking me from receiving the spirit of my baby in physical form? I now have a new focus for myself and I know that getting in touch with this further is going to require more meditation and prayer which will get me out of my head (where I spend a lot of my time) and in touch with the deeper parts of my soul. I am excited to work on this more because I used to enjoy meditation when I would do it with clients when I was counselor.
On another note, I am wrapping up the last things required for my certification from iPEC as a Certified Professional Coach and my Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner certification and I have about a month’s worth left of work to do, but the end is in sight!!! I have chosen women going through infertility as my clients who I will serve. I am so excited to partner with other women on this journey as their coach and help them create the experiences they want for themselves regardless of how “baby” shows up for them.
It has been so beneficial to me to balance my life with other while trying to have a child with the struggle of infertility, because I was getting so obsessed with getting pregnant I couldn’t enjoy anything in my life as long as I have been focused on that. My own work continues with this but I am no different than anyone else, I still have many moments of feeling angry, sorry for myself and scared sh*tless that I will never carry a child of my own. This is why I feel so compelled to be a coach for women going on this journey too. No matter what the outcome, the journey is where we learn who we are, what we want and what is most important.
Love and peace to you all…
