Author and Ayurvedic practitioner Heather Grzych unpacks the deeper reasons behind declining birth rates, the real question people are asking about regret, and the reality that you can\u2019t fully understand the experience of having a child until you\u2019re in it. She addresses what\u2019s often in the mind of people considering egg freezing and preserving fertility, and why daily patterns\u2014not big decisions\u2014determine how you move through major life transitions. This episode offers a grounded, honest perspective on one of life\u2019s biggest decisions, helping you shift from trying to predict the future to building a life that can hold it.
