Farrah, what about "exponential" instead of "viral?" It may be too late.

I am swimming around in circles at the moment.

I really needed these words. Thank you, Farrah. I’m excited about your book.

My dad referred to a piece he'd seen "go viral" as "amplified online through popularity" and I LOVED his boomer take on it x

Hi, I know the feeling too well and I have to say it can be daunting. But I found a lot of inner peace by listening to Lewis Howes' "The Greatness Mindset". I hope it helps...!!! 🌸🌺

At 38 with a husband who is 46 who doesn’t want a child but won’t deny me one if I do, I feel this line deeply: “I spent years swimming around in circles trying to figure out whether I wanted to be a mother or not. It felt like a slow, painful drowning at times, especially as everyone around me moved on with such such certainty.” I love my life but also love children but don’t know if that would fulfil me or give me purpose the way so many women seem to derive pleasure from motherhood. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Maybe I agonise over it too much. 🤣🤪🙈
