Do you sometimes wonder if motherhood is for you? Or feel sad that you are not a mother (yet)? Want to hear honest stories on the choice of (not) having kids? This show for you if you are childfree, childless doubting, or a mom. I aspire to connect women around the topic of motherhood: the doubt, the sadness and the joy. All of it. Real, honest and open conversations. I share my own personal stories and lessons, while also inviting you to reflect on your own experiences. Join me in exploring motherhood, choices, and finding your own path to self-empowerment. Much love,Anne

#7 “Who do you think you are to decide if I should be a mom?” 31.03.2023 16:51

Real talk in my DM. In this episode I'll explain that I will most definitely not tell you what choice to make. My coaching program 'Am I a Mother?" is not here to give you yet another opinion. Why would I? Don't we all have too many people around us giving us unsolicited advice? When I work with you as a coach I will show you options. I explain the tools you need to make an intent...

Something I'm so grateful to have learnt in my teenage years. And something that got so deeply integrated into my system that it doesn't have to be part of my compass anymore. The stories that I'm sharing in this podca...

#1 My journey: from childless and unhappy at 30 to childfree and amazing at 40 09.10.2022 28:01

Being single in my 30s while I really wanted to become a mother was the worst. I felt alone, a failure, something must be wrong with me. I was ashamed, of both my ‘societal achievements’ and my feelings around it. So I didn’t share the depth of my sadness. With anyone. It took me years of struggling on my own to get to where I am now. ‘Now’ being: happy, amazing, full of life, rich in both love an...
