Has someone ever said to, "you're so lucky you don't have kids"? If you wanted kids, of course you don't feel very lucky to have that unfulfilled dream. Sometimes I wonder if parents say things like this - or complain about their kids - to us childless women because they want us to feel as though we're not missing out on anything great. But then, of course, they swoon over their kids in the next breath.
In this solo episode, I break down:

• the misconceptions we carry about this statement and how it affects our reaction
• what happens when you reframe these misconceptions
• how to respond to this statement
