🔥 Why I Said NO to Parenthood — and Why You Can Too 🚫👶
Ever felt pressured to have kids even when it didn’t feel right? You’re NOT alone. Today, I’m sharing the raw truth about why I made the decision not to have children — and why it’s okay to choose a different path in life. 🌍✨

In this powerful, no-holds-barred episode, we dive into:

  • 🏠 The brutal reality of the rising cost of living in Canada — and why raising a child costs millions
  • 🧠 Growing up neurodivergent in a world that wasn’t built for us
  • 🌎 Facing climate change and questioning the morality of bringing new life into a broken system
  • 🧬 Choosing adoption over passing on generational struggles
  • 🩺 Why I chose a vasectomy — and why men need to know they have a choice too
  • 🇨🇦 The failure of "Net Zero" goals and what real climate action should look like

Major Takeaways:

  • 💥 It's okay to say no to parenthood — your life, your choice
  • 💸 Raising kids today is financially crushing — and society needs to acknowledge it
  • 🌍 Climate collapse is real — and future generations deserve better solutions
  • 🤯 Society isn’t designed for many of us — and that’s NOT your fault
  • 🧠 Neurodivergence isn't brokenness — it's brilliance that the world ignores

If you’ve ever questioned the pressure to follow the "expected" path, THIS is the conversation you need to hear. 🛤️🚀
