I’m not going to tell you to make lemonade out of lemons or that “everything happens for a reason” when you’re going through one of the hardest moments of your life.

I will tell you that it matters to make meaning, and that starts with the story you tell yourself about what happened.

Your narrative helps you make sense of the pain and clarifies what you value, rituals give those values a shape you can live inside, and purpose connects you to something larger than the worst thing that happened to you.

If this resonated, I’d like to invite you into my monthly newsletter - the link is in bio!

I’ve sat with many women who felt they had to answer two questions on one clock: who to build a life with, and whether to become a mother.

Those can be separate decisions, and there’s usually more room in each than fear allows.

Some women freeze their eggs to buy time, some become single mothers by choice with a donor, and others build families through fostering or adoption.

If you’re weighing this, it may help to learn what your options and timeline actually look like before the pressure decides for you.

This is not only a dating pattern. It shows up in jobs, collaborators, and new friendships in the same way.

You don’t need to get “your hopes up less”... you just need to stay grounded. Start with - clarity, restraint, and partnership.

More on this in my book, Why We Suffer and How We Heal, and in my monthly newsletter - both linked in bio.
