In today's episode we're going old school, back to a good old fashioned chatty sit down episode and life update. I have been recovering from a pretty terrible bout of tonsilitis and it's made me realise...I have a toxic relationship with productivity. Even when I'm sick I can't slow down, and I don't think I'm alone. 

We also discuss how I'm finding living alone, a little relationship update and how it feels to have finished my book! All that and more, listen now!

196. My toxic relationship with productivity

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/f3702e07-d8e7-4fd3-a3a4-b1720086bc29/transcript

The thought of having children in our 20s feels like an incredibly adult decision, and is one a lot of us probably don't consider. We want to protect our youth and our freedom a little bit longer, or perhaps have decided we probably will never want children.

But whether you want to have children or not, having a clear understanding of your future intentions or choices, your reproductive health, the kind of person who might make a good partner, and therefore parent, is important. More information, more foresight actually equals greater freedom and sometimes time to decide. 

We break down: 
Why you should be thinking in your 20s
The pros and cons of having children in your 20s 
The argument for NOT having children 
Fertility
Milestone anxiety and the pressure to find someone 
Your stories of pregnancy, parenthood and fertility in your 20s

The origins of why we feel unworthy of love
Childhood wounds 
Early romantic scripts and teen romance 
Repeated rejection and shame
The consequences of feeling unloveable 
Repetition of toxic relationships
How to restore or rediscover your sense of self worth and self love
