This article spoke to me more than anything I’ve read recently. My mind is torn about having a second child. As a mom who envisioned having only one child and a therapist myself, I am floored by how my mind has become consumed with the fears of regret. Reading these words daily until I find my peace. Thank you!!!

I loved reading this! I've had a similar experience since I had my son 6 months ago. I don't experience regret or even wish to change like I used to. It's as if everything is exactly how it should be. How freeing

As a millennial woman struggling to make a choice, IE really sitting on that fence, your content and blog posts are genuinely some of the most helpful, insightful, and REAL takes on motherhood i have ever seen. I just want to say thank you-- I do not know where I am going to lean, but i know that your content will help me get there.

Genuinely-- your book, Not drinking tonight, has been one of the BEST reads i have ever read around sobriety, how it affects Millennials specifically, and how to rethink your relationship with alcohol. I cannot say thank you enough for what you are putting out in the world, it has helped me immeasurably in more ways than one. I send Fence Sitter to all of my fence sitting friends and it facilitates and drives conversations that i DESPERATELY have been seeking for years. Thank you so so so much for all that you are doing. It's genuinely changed my life.

As someone with a gnarly mixture of regret, sadness, wistfulness about a couple of things, this was an illuminating read. Thank you!
