Baby? or not

Yes, this podcast is about Caribbean women narrating their story of giving birth, but what about the Caribbean women who choose not to have children or circumstances have never aligned to have a child, these same women may be bombarded with THE question...'any children yet?'

Well, my guests Chantal, Lani and Jan Yves do not disappoint in today’s first fireside chat; sharing with us their deeply personal, candid and sometimes provocative points of view of being a young woman in the Caribbean without a child. We address difficult questions from the jump examining ideas surrounding being a woman in general terms and in the context of motherhood.

Does being from the Caribbean subconsciously place pressure on women to conform and accept motherhood as a natural step in a woman’s life?

Is it a binary decision career vs. children?

We discuss some of the reasons motherhood isn’t appealing:

- Physical changes

- No desire or yearning to become a mother

- Career

- Sacrifice

- Breaking generational patterns

- Pressure to conform

How can we be better friends, colleagues, parents and partners to women of our region who have chosen not to have children?

So many questions and thoughts that we had to make this a 2-part conversation.
