Kathryn Stanczyszyn is a British journalist and radio presenter who has felt ambivalent and confused about parenthood for decades. Always hoping that one day she would wake up and feel differently, during the pandemic Kathryn decided to embark on an active process to choose whether to have kids or not. In this chat, she shares how it’s not always black and white, and why the process can be a painful one. From navigating ambivalence on your own and in a couple, challenging our conditioning around where we find purpose and looking to the future as a childfree woman, Kathryn is refreshingly open and honest about her own journey.
