WELCOME & HELLO

LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF

I’m so thrilled that you’re here! I’m Betsy, but most people call me Bets. In 2020, I created The Bets Life as a place to connect through stories, grow inspiration, and share smiles and laughs. I enjoy writing about relatable “aha” and “oh, no” moments and everything in between. Pull up a chair, grab that coffee (or cocktail), and feel free to stay awhile and check out my writing. I’m always trying to live that best life ever, and I hope that The Bets Life will encourage and remind you to always live yours!

Episode 67: On the Fence: An Honest Conversation About Being Childfree, Motherhood Indecision, and Life in Your Mid-Thirties 🎤 

In this solo episode of The Bets Life Podcast, I’m discussing something that I’ve been personally struggling with for a long time: the indecision surrounding starting a family. What if you’re not sure if you want kids? What if you’ve never felt certain about being a mom? What if you feel like your fertility window is quickly shrinking? What if you’ve been waiting for that “aha” moment, but it hasn’t arrived? 🫤

This episode is all about being in the “messy middle” and being “on the fence.” Not fully in, not fully out. Just…trying to figure it out. 🤔 

I share what it’s been like to be asked, “When are you having kids?” constantly, the fear of choosing the wrong path, and why more and more women are finding themselves in limbo over the motherhood decision. 🤷‍♀️ 

If you’ve ever felt stuck, confused, or even a little guilty for not having a clear answer, then this episode is for you. 💗
