Perfect Timing: 5 Signs You’re Not Ready For What You Want
So that you can get ready.
“They say, timing is everything. But then they say, there is never a perfect time for anything.”

I first felt it on New Years' 2018.
This enormous psychological relief came out of nowhere as I was cooking a celebratory dinner. A deep awakening, a realization that I wasn’t going to get pregnant just because I planned my life around being pregnant.
We hear life gurus tell us that we should live as if we already have what we want, so I did. I postponed trips, I didn’t take on big work projects and for three years all I was focused on was seeing a positive test.
And then, on New Year's eve, I was done. I could no longer live for something that didn’t exist. I’d continue to do my best to get pregnant — go to my doctor, take my vitamins, have sex with my husband (if I must).
But I’d also live my life.
Beginning of 2018 I landed my biggest copywriting client at the time and we booked a family road trip through Europe.
Beginning of April, I found out I was pregnant.
Ironically, it was right on time. Turned out I really wasn’t ready before.
