I haven’t announced this publicly yet… but I recently started the process of freezing my eggs. I’ll be writing about it a lot more in a few weeks but I wanted to let you know it’s why I’ve been a little less active and around lately.

It was something I had been thinking about doing for a long time but delayed and procrastinated because I had inadvertently absorbed all the sad myths our society propagates about it. I felt like freezing my eggs meant I had failed, when in reality, it’s having the privilege to get to have kids when I want, with whom I want that’s the biggest win of all. During a time when a lot of people are determined to tell us what do to with our bodies, it feels good to take the power back.
