1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 What advice would you give? Would you want?&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The last two weeks while in Italy, I was swept away in the best romantic story. &amp;nbsp; A dear friend unexpectedly met someone while traveling internationally far from home and texted, “I might have met my husband.” &amp;nbsp; The wrinkle is that a life with him means a major fork in the road, leaving possibly forever things she’s loved, and for various reasons the decision is going to be made quickly. &amp;nbsp; When you have a major life decision, how can you be confident you won’t regret whatever you choose? Over hours of voice messages back and forth I reflected: &amp;nbsp; The advice I’m giving her is so much different than I would have 10 years ago. What I learned from my IVF, surrogacy, and book journey that gave me wisdom. What we really want to know, and are never going to.&amp;nbsp; How to avoid self-shame/blame if it doesn’t work out. The biggest difference between taking risks in your teens/20’s vs your mid-30’s and beyond&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The questions I guided her through, I found myself asking myself in the very different scenarios I’m walking through personally today. &amp;nbsp; This is the grown-women’s approach to love and life choices that (thank goodness) has less draining drama and more delightful drama that makes life exciting yet empowering.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Curious to hear on Instagram @HilaryRushford what advice you’d give after you listen?
