If motherhood costs my freedom, my future, or my fire, the price is too high
from Ruled by Magpies · host Chloe Wallace
This one’s a deep one. A raw one. But you're used to that from me by now, surely?I'm getting properly honest about what it means, as a woman today, to even think about motherhood, especially when you’ve had to fight bloody hard for your own freedom, your future, and your fire.I’m talking about coercive control. About how abusers use pets and kids as weapons. About my own experience of how my dog was used to control me, how my body was controlled too.I’ll share how unlearning all that old survival shit has made me stronger, softer, and smarter, and how these days, I’m fully at peace with the idea that motherhood is a choice, not a destiny.There are so many ways to build a life full of love and not one of them involves sacrificing yourself for someone else's ego.This episode is for any woman who's ever been made to feel that her life, her body, her dreams, belong to someone else.Thanks for listening, ciao ciao x
