#30 The Mother Urge

About this episode

Chrissy shares her personal journey into motherhood and reflects on societal expectations regarding the timing of having children.

This is a recording of me reading my latest Substack post and wanted to share the audio here. Recently I’ve felt pulled to share more about my journey into motherhood and how it came to me much “later in life” than others. I put quotes around it because I feel time is a wild thing to try to label and in general, society has very much tried to give us parameters on what is “appropriate” for our lives. I truly believe that every woman’s fertility and motherhood journeys are so unique. There is no right or wrong, and all paths can come with its benefits as well as challenges. I didn’t start trying for babies until after 40.
