The Parenthood Pendulum
The Parenthood Pendulum
About the Book:
The Parenthood Pendulum will help you navigate through life choices and follow a path that will lead to your most fulfilled life. The women of today are now facing the option to choose alternative lifestyles and no longer expected to conform to the traditional way of life; marriage, children, and running a household. With this societal shift, I believe there is a need for empowerment, support, and confidence to decide what choices are best for each individual. This will not only be relatable content to the childless population but helps eradicate misconceptions placed by society and hopefully can aid in bridging the gap between those who want & have children and those with opposing perspectives. Throughout the book, you will read quotes from the numerous women and men that I had the privilege to confabulate with and they fearlessly shared it all and I know you will find their stories wildly different and yet, equally inspiring. I am forever grateful to the contributors for using their voice to help reform the narrative of what it is to be childfree and what parenting really entails.

“Loved the book. It really did give me even more comfort [with my choice to remain childfree].” - Stacey P.
“Just finished the book and it was so good and so interesting to see everyone’s point of view and stories.” -Gigi T.
“It’s like reading my thoughts.” - Michelle V.
“The book was great. It was refreshing to hear someone else’s opinions and truth, and being the voice for some women while helping to lighten the stigma on the ‘Modern Woman’. I too knew I didn’t want kids at a very young age and that also contributed to my divorce.” -Melonie L.
“Very easy, enlightening, and interesting read! For me, a woman who never had any issues getting pregnant or questioning if I even wanted children, it really made me stop and think about all the things that come with being parents. I loved hearing the different perspectives, especially from the men who were interviewed in the book, since we don’t hear much from our male counterparts. It definitely added another viewpoint. I do come from a generation of grow up, get married, and have children (which I was 100% happy and fulfilled with), but the book brought to the forefront that there is so much more to the planning of raising a child emotionally, financially, etc. I give this book a thumbs up!” - Christa M.
“I found this book very informative and it brought up a lot of things for a person to think about when considering having a child. Many I never thought of in my life. It seemed to lean a little more towards remaining childless, but gave good reasons for that side of the question. A very thought provoking book, good read”.- Ken
