Our first update episode! Sarah checks in on Myriam Steinberg, a writer based in Vancouver, BC. Myriam's in her forties and she's been trying to have a baby on her own for the last five years. She’s documenting her experience in a graphic novel called Catalogue Baby. Myriam reveals some surprising news!

When Maggie Reyes got married, she and her husband both assumed that they’d start a family eventually. But every time they checked in with one another, the answer, for both of them, was ‘not yet’.

Nicole Gulotta is writer, editor, and the keeper of a superb blog called Eat This Poem. I spoke with her about navigating life as a writer while raising a toddler.

Jen Riday is a mother of 6. She holds a PhD in human development and family studies, and runs an online business helping women heal their hearts and build self love. With that kind of background I thought Jen would have a lot to say about motherhood….which, of course, she did!

Myriam Steinberg is a writer based in Vancouver, BC. Myriam's in her forties and she's been trying to have a baby on her own for the last five years. She’s documenting her experience in a graphic novel called Catalogue Baby. Sarah talks to Myriam about the decision to conceive a child as a single woman in her forties, and what it's been like for her.

In this preview of the Reflection episodes, I talk about the questions that led me to create the show.

I always imagined that I’d have children of my own. But, you know, maybe someday. Now, at 37, I’m in a relationship with someone who already has a kid and doesn't want more. So I have to decide what I want: stay in the relationship (and develop a bond with someone else's kid), or leave to have a baby of my own.
