If this episode is now live it means I have given birth. Yes I am now a mother @ 38. I live by what I teach. Despite being shamed about not having children and not knowing myself if I wanted Children, I had to do a lot of work to get to this point. This includes therapy, Financial literacy/education, exploring my ovarian health and working through my mother daughter trauma which continues to be something I have to work on because going no contact has been a challenge but key to my mental health and I know that now. I have no clue what I am doing but what I do know is I have done the work and continue to do so. Everyone ignores mental health but it is a key factor in deciding whether to bring life into the world, until you work through your trauma how are you able to ensure you are not complicit in continuing the cycle of generational trauma?
Despite what society and culture has said I chose to focus on developing my career to enable me to create the life for my child that he/she deserves. In doing so I have also been able to develop my career to a stage that I have felt confident and comfortable to take time out to balance motherhood.
The last 9 months has also consisted of mourning my old life where I was the sole focus. There is now a required balance of Career & Motherhood.
