Hey all, Joe here, and welcome to Sunday Nice Things from Under the Influence.

We recently had Helena de Groot on the show to talk about her decision to not have children.

And that episode was so wildly popular that I want to drop the first episode of her podcast Creation myth in the feed today so you guys can listen to what she's created. It is a beautiful, beautiful reflection on

just how hard this decision can be for women and why it is such an incredibly valid choice

that we need to talk about more and more and more.

This is the first episode of Creation Myth. Like I said, I'm going to drop the link in the show

notes so you can listen to the entire series if you want. I just love this show because I

think that we really need more stories from women about their real lived existence.

So enjoy this episode of The Creation Myth. Have a great Sunday. Do something nice for yourself. You deserve it.

from my life forever.
