In this episode, we document Brenda's path toward a childfree life, from a lively Meru childhood and firstborn duty to the moment, at seven years old, when she first questioned whether motherhood should be her destiny. Through community, Catholic-school conditioning, and a deep love of words, she begins naming a life that’s hers by choice. In this episode you’ll hear:
- Meru roots: muddy play, tea farms, and a massive, close-knit community
- Firstborn duty vs. being allowed to be a child
- Early conditioning around womanhood/motherhood and the first “no”
- Reading as refuge and rebellion
- Body literacy at home vs. school expectations
You're invited to our upcoming 3-part group therapy!
