Some women choose not to have kids due to various reasons, such as career goals, family obligations, or personal plans.
“Some women do not want to have kids. Some women want to be amazing in their careers, they want to put all their effort [into] that. Maybe they want to take care of their parents all their life. Maybe they want to commit their life to social work. Maybe they just have different plans. That doesn’t mean that a woman is less valuable or less capable or less able,” she continued.

“He has so many roles in my life, not just my husband. Like he knows about the struggles I went through. Fortunately, for him, he didn’t go through that. He had an amazing childhood, the best kind of relationship with his parents and siblings,” she said. “I was given somebody strong enough to help me and be strong for me. It works. I’m a handful but it works.”
