Termination & Child Birth

What experiences in life helped you grow the most?

My first grown-up answer would be getting fired when I was 23 years old. It certainly put me on a forced, different life path than I initially expected post graduating college. It was a good harsh awakening to adulthood. I think it also taught me a lot about the importance of self reflection.

While extremely difficult and depressing at the time, my life wouldn’t be what it is today.

My second grown-up answer is childbirth. There’s something about creating, carrying, birthing and caring for a child that just changed my patience level and perspective in ways I can’t explain.
