Want kids?

'You'll regret losing your freedom. Your career will never recover. Your body will never be the same. Say goodbye to sleep, spontaneity, disposable income, and any semblance of the person you used to be.'

Don't want kids?

'You'll regret it when you're older. Who's going to take care of you? What's the point of your life if you don't leave a legacy? You'll die alone and childless and full of regret for what could have been.'

Undecided?

'What is wrong with you?'

Your reproductive choices are everybody’s business.

In this episode Nina talks about not just the biology but the judgement that women are laden with and the pressure that removes the peace.

If you are 23, 46, 65 ….on the fence, regretful parent, regretful and childless, its time to stop letting society guilt you.

It’s a rant. I am not a licensed therapist. Enjoy with discretion. Until next time, it’s Every Shade.
