617: Why So Many Women Are Choosing Not To Have Children- Child-Free By Choice with Sahara Rose

This week's solocast is one that might get me canceled… but you know what? it's also one of the most important. 🌱 For so long, women have been told our purpose is to have children—and if we don't, we're selfish. In this episode, I share my own journey of wrestling with that question. From believing I'd "want kids someday," to a plant medicine journey that told me I was here to be a mother, to the deeper truth I've come back to: right now, I don't believe motherhood is my path. I talk about the "good girl" conditioning so many of us carry, the reality of how marriage + motherhood impact women differently than men, and why I see more women choosing to remain child-free as an act of resistance. This isn't about saying one choice is better than the other—it's about being radically honest with yourself. Your worth isn't tied to whether or not you have kids. Your life matters. Your dharma matters. 🌹 Join Embodiment Certification Waitlist - be the first to know when the FREE 3-part mini series drops! https://highestselfinstitute.com/embodiment-join-waitlist If you are looking for a diverse + nourishing community of like-minded souls I'd love to invite you to join the waitlist of Rose Gold Goddesses at https://www.rosegoldgoddesses.com Receive 10% off your first month of therapy with our sponsor Betterhelp at https://www.betterhelp.com/sahara Discover Your Dharma - Order your copy now - https://iamsahararose.com/dharma Stream the Intro + Outro Music: Trust Flow by Sahara Rose ft.
