Motherhood

Motherhood is often framed as a woman’s ultimate purpose, yet for many it becomes the greatest barrier to freedom, ambition, and self-actualization. The Motherhood Mistake: A Cautionary Tale for Women With Dreams challenges the cultural myth that children complete women, exposing instead how motherhood can consume their futures—unless entered from a position of independence and wealth. Drawing from lived experience and feminist critique, this piece serves as both testimony and warning: women with dreams must protect their autonomy first, or risk surrendering it to the unrelenting demands of motherhood.
