In this episode, I speak to Emilie Pine, author of the multi award winning book 'Notes to Self'. We discuss her movement through, and experience of, many positions regarding parenthood - not being sure if she wanted to be a parent, very strongly wanting to be a parent, having a miscarriage and needing to accept that she wasn't going to be a parent. We discuss the guilt that can come with deciding not to pursue IVF and how important it is to stop defining yourself through what is absent in your life, even though this is a hard and ongoing process.
