After a 2015 Instagram post about the decision to “retrieve the eggs and make the decision with my husband to freeze the embryos,” she said Forbes why she felt empowered to share her story.
“I think a lot of women are embarrassed that they don’t have children, or that they’re expecting more, and nobody talks about it,” she told the publication in 2017. “I sacrifice a lot to run three businesses, and my husband and I take joint decision to freeze embryos. He is 39 years old; I’m 37. I talked to friends like Andrea Lieberman, Fiona Stiles and Rachel Goodwin, that everyone had their first at around 40. “
“I want children one day,” she continued, “but I’m not quite ready, and the minute we did, the weight of the world fell on my shoulders. As soon as I started this conversation, many women introduced themselves and said, ‘Thank you . ‘ “
