Exploring ambivalence with relationship coach Katherine Baldwin
Katherine Baldwin is a love and relationship coach and mid-life mentor who once described herself as childless by ambivalence. In this chat, she shares how childhood experiences of watching her own mother fuelled her ambivalence towards parenthood. We talk about the biological clock and meeting a partner who doesn’t want children, grief around what might have been and how she is embracing her choices now. Katherine’s clients include many single women who are childless not by choice or who are still hopeful about having children but feel they are running out of time.
If you want to learn more about Katherine’s work you can go to her website katherinebaldwin.com or read her book ‘How to Fall in Love’.
