20:02 Why sharing and being willing to talk about stress life IVF is so important for Bianca.

21:02 How Bianca doesn’t think she’s being ‘brave’ doing IVF, a mum battling cancer is brave and putting things into perspective is important for her.

22:58 Women have been sending her messages to thank her for publicly talking about IVF – how her openness is supporting and helping others and how sharing is not only helping her but others too.

24:50 We’ve gotten to a point where we may be too proud to ask for help and the pressure of looking like we are ok when we may not be.

25:50 It’s not weak to be open and say “I’m having a bad day.”

27:35 “You can’t pre-empt fear because it’s won before you start.”

28:45 Anxiety is a symptom, not necessarily the ‘problem.’

29:05 Movement and a healthy lifestyle for Bianca helps her tackle her anxiety.  When she doesn’t nourish herself, her anxiety is particularly bad.

31:00 How working out her triggers assists her in coping with anxiety and dealing with it is key for her.

32:05 “I’m an athlete at procrastinating,” it might even be making a phone call that she doesn’t want to make and how that makes her feel.

33:06 Cecelia and I caught up with Bianca 12 months later and asked her a few questions

33:25 We asked her if she had learnt to be kinder to herself – she shares her obsession of post it notes around the house as a way of assisting.

34:30 The value of saying no is a big fat yes to Bianca and her mental health.
