Is maternal instinct nature or nurture? Are children really the meaning of life?
When you’re 40+ and staring down the barrel of infertility…
should you or would you change your mind?
I was 23 when my mother grabbed me by the shoulder, eyeballed me and said:
“Don’t let society make you feel like a failure if you don’t have children!”
I’ve lived my life since like a free-flying powerhouse Queen and now this biological clock has nearly ticked its last tock… this is truly the Final Countdown!
But what came first: the chicken or the egg? Did I ever want children?
Am I child-free by choice, or by chance? Was what my Mama said a blessing or a curse, and how are you supposed to know what you really want when everyone’s got an opinion?
Strap in, this empowering, hilarious, fast-paced, physical-comedy-rollercoaster will have you screaming for more. It’s going to be a bumpy bump-free ride!!!
