‘You Can Be Happy Without A Baby’ - Why That’s Not Wisdom, It’s Gaslighting

When I say 'You can be happy without a baby', what happens in your body?

It may seem like it’s a piece of wisdom, sound advice, because yes, of course we know that it’s possible for women to live a joyful content life without children.

However when you are struggling to conceive and someone you turn to for advice and support says this to you it can feel like they have absolutely no idea what’s going on inside of you.

In this new Embrace Fertility podcast episode (my first solo episode since January) I break down:

- Why this common advice backfires
- How it keeps you stuck and
- Why owning your desire for a baby isn’t something you should try to minimise.

If you’re tired of being told to shrink your longing, this episode is your permission slip to feel, want, and be fully seen.
