I'm not a mom.  And at 50, the chances are slim to none that I ever will be. At least, with science on my side. While I thought I found my peace with this some years ago, recently, something stirred the pot and it's why you're listening to this today.

On this episode of the HIListically Speaking Podcast, I get personal with you about my why and choice to be childless. The hope for this episode is to create connection and open up the conversation with others like me who want to share their voice and their why on the show. 

Not having children can be influenced by a variety of factors...some positive and some negative.  After listening to my story, I hope you'll find this space to be a trusted container to share your's as well.

Are you ready to press record too? Do you know someone who is?  If so, go to https://www.speakpipe.com/HilisticallySpeaking and share.  Then your voices will be amplified on an upcoming episode in part two. 

If you are struggling with this and need further support, book a complimentary session with me to learn how to turn your traumas into triumphs. I'll share more about my HUG it Out approach and how Havening can help you heal. Book your free session here: https://hilaryrusso.as.me/hugitout
