Why I Don’t Have Children

Why I Don't Have Children

So often when we meet new people, we want to get to know each other. So we ask a lot of questions.

A question I always get is, do you have children? And I don't have children. So instead of saying no, I feel like I have to explain myself.

No, I don't have children. I was never able to have children. I always wanted children. I always wanted a big family.

And I wonder, why do I do that? Because I don't want people to think I'm unloving, unkind, or that I'm selfish or that I just don't like children? Because none of that's true. So I feel like I need to explain myself instead of letting my personality or my light heartedness, my happy heart, my loving personality just show through. And they'd probably get it, and there's no need to explain. Why do we do that? Did I not have enough self esteem, self love? Did I not think enough of myself? That my personality would just come through.

So how many stories are you telling? Like, oh, before COVID I went to the gym every day. Oh, before COVID I, you know, was 30 pounds lighter and explaining ourselves instead of being okay with where we are right now and moving forward because we can't change the past, right?

We need to be here, present and just move forward. So I would love to show you how to do that.


Let’s talk about how you can be more comfortable with who you are right now.
