To Baby or Not To Baby

Dear Media, Caroline Stanbury
About this episode

In this thought-provoking episode of "Divorced, Not Dead," Caroline engages in a candid conversation with fellow podcaster Sarah Merill Hall about the complexities of motherhood. Listen as they challenge societal pressures and delve into the profound question: Is motherhood truly for you, or do you feel compelled by external influences?


From body transformations, co-parenting,  societal shifts, the temporary loss of autonomy over one's body and conversations around why we decide to baby, or not!


This episode uncovers an empowering truth: babies can have the potential to make or break a marriage. Caroline and Sarah emphasize the importance of dedicating time and effort to reconnecting and prioritizing the relationship with your partner in either case.


Tune in to discover why "selfish" is the new black and how honouring your true desires as a woman can lead to a more fulfilled and authentic life.
