Sal's Tough Life Decision to be Childfree
41m · PublishedIn today's episode, we're sharing untold parts of Sal's story and how losing her mum came at a time when she was making a pivotal life choice of whether or not to have children. Sal shares her journey of grappling with the decision. From early doubts to a pivotal miscarriage that made her question her desires and societal expectations, the loneliness she felt and how she coped without having her mum to talk to.
Despite fears of judgement and feeling like an outlier, Sal's decision has been grounded in a deep sense of self-awareness. We hope this conversation will resonate with anyone else who has been grappling with one of life's most significant decisions.
