Do I want children? How to find clarity when you're single and feeling the pressure of your body clock

Do I want children? How to find clarity when you're single and feeling the pressure of your body clock

When you're single (after a breakup or chronically single) the question 'do you want kids?' can feel like the most urgent, loaded and impossible question you've ever been asked. This episode helps you actually answer it, honestly, for yourself.


Ann Davidman, Parenthood Clarity Mentor and co-author of Motherhood — Is It For Me?, has helped hundreds of single women find genuine clarity on one of life's most personal decisions. This conversation cuts through the pressure, the cultural noise, and the 'you'll just know' clichés.


Bree brings her own experience navigating this question as a solo female traveller and single woman, living abroad alone and watching the cultural pressure to decide play out differently in India than in Australia.


In this episode you'll learn:

• How to separate what you actually want from what you've been told you should want

• Why so many single women feel paralysed by this question and how to break through it

• The process Ann uses to help people reach a decision they genuinely own

• How to stop letting the biological clock make the decision for you

• What a child-free life can look like and how to feel genuinely good about choosing it

• Why being single makes this question feel more urgent than it needs to be


Bree is in Mumbai, India.
