Amanda shares about how she decided if she wanted to have children and talks about how we need to recover from the idea that society tells women they must. She shares the fears, thoughts and concerns that she weighed when making the decision. She discusses how social media played a role for her and how the phrase "just you wait until you have kids" negatively impacted her. She breaks down how it is difficult to understand why people have children when most content on social media is overly negative or positive.

She ends the episode by answering listener questions and sharing resources to support you in navigating this choice.
