21. Sarah Patel on loving your child but regretting motherhood

Today I sit down with Sarah Patel, a woman who knew she didn't want to have childfren but doubted her choice when no one else around her felt the same way. Sarah is the mother of a thriving 6-year old who she loves deeply, and yet she can clearly recognize that the love for her child does not come with a love of parenting. She and I discuss her journey to choosing to have a child, the impact of childbearing in an overpoulated world, and the courage to honor one's truth amidst the clamor of cultural expectations.
