But I very deliberately chosen … and I’ve been very lucky, I realize that when I say that. Not everyone gets to choose as much ‘cause there’s inherent struggle with being able to just to afford doing things like that. I get that. I love living by myself. I love setting my own hours. I love being able to keep everything clean and neat and how I want it. There’s intention to those things. I really enjoy that.&quot; Drea Clark lives in LA and works in film. She's my sister's best friend from highschool and we've known each other for a really long time. She's basically considered to be part of our family. I asked her to be on my podcast for this current series of conversations with women who are not mothers, and she was totally enthusiastic to participate. I knew it would be a fantastic conversation, a fun one too, because Drea is just so articulate in just about anything.&amp;nbsp; Yeah. You ask her about anything, and she'll have something to say about it. And it usually makes you want to go, &quot;Hmmmmm.&quot; I love Drea. She's fabulous. In this episode, Drea opens up and tells it like it is, raw, and direct, sharing her views on why she’s not a mother and that she’s very happy in her life without children. “You should live your life in a way that you feel bad for other people for living it differently.” “Oh my God. I had it so good. My parents are legit good parents, and they are a very loving couple. So it’s ironic to me that I’m like, ‘Oh you guys knocked it out of the park on both fronts. Do not take it personally that I am not replicating that,’ because I remember telling them years ago when I sort of knew that I wasn’t gonna have kids - I wanted them to know.” If you want to get in touch with Drea or find our more about her, go to her website: dreaclark.com or find her on Twitter @thedreaclark &amp;nbsp;You can check out my website, You're Doing Great Mom and be sure to subscribe and write a review.
