When I decided to share my story about not having children on Episode 121, I never imagined the amount of feedback I would receive from listeners wanting to share their voices. It was my hope that being vulnerable and creating a safe space would lead to a few shares. Instead, there were many. And this episode belongs to listeners sharing the "why" of being childless or childfree. From fear to freedom, mental health to miscarriages, infertitlity to indecision, and even grief to gratitude…it's all here. And no matter what the why of each person may be, the real lesson lies in community, compassion and a true sense of self. Thank you to all who pressed "record". And to those just tuning in, your support and love doesn't go unnoticed. Together, we're better…no matter what road you take. For we never walk alone.
