from Your Magical Midlife · host Kate Higgins
In this episode I talk openly about the messy middle space so many of us live in — not happily childfree, not desperately grieving, but somewhere in between.I share my own story of never deeply wanting children, making a half-hearted attempt in my late 30s, and then having the door close for good after cancer and a hysterectomy. I explore the relief, the sadness, the guilt, the freedom, and the quiet longing that can all exist at the same time.If you’re an ambivalently childless woman carrying layers of complicated feelings, this one is for you.
