There are a lot of reasons why people remain ambivalent about becoming a parent. But, sustained and unhealthy ambivalence can stand in the way of one’s ability to move forward in their life. Unhealthy ambivalence ties up energy. It’s immobilizing. It causes pain. Yet, ambivalence is not necessarily unhealthy. A healthy form of ambivalence doesn’t render you immobilized; rather it’s characterized by curiosity and the ability to sustain the uncertainty of not knowing without stress or judgment. Learn more about ambivalence and read this full blog through the link in our bio! And, if you are looking to explore your ambivalence and start your journey towards parenthood clarity, join Ann this Friday for the start her new workshop Parenthood Is It For Me?

The most common questions Ann receives as a Parenthood Clarity Mentor are “What is wrong with me that I can’t decide?” or “Why don’t I know what I want?” and “I thought the time would come and I would just know, so why can’t I figure this out?” But the truth is that there is nothing wrong with not knowing — there is nothing wrong with you. Many people do not “just know” if they want to become a parent, which is why we are here to help. On Saturday, April 13 at 10am Pacific/1pm Eastern, Ann is hosting a FREE LIVE Q&A event to talk about her courses, book, upcoming workshop, and more!

We live in a society where there is often incredible pressure to become a parent, and it can be hard to keep your sense of perspective and not succumb to this pressure when you’re essentially being assaulted with messages that bring with them the baggage of shame. You can feel compelled to pretend you want to be a parent even if you don’t. Feeling this pressure can keep you stuck in the state of secretly hoping that your desire to be a parent will suddenly appear, believing that will relieve the pressure. Check out our newest blog "Where Does All the Pressure Around Parenthood Come From" to learn how untangle the knots caused by pressure in order to determine what is true for you, to find your clarity.

“Do you work with couples?” As a Parenthood Clarity Mentor of more than 30 years, Ann’s encountered this question many times and her answer may surprise you: No, she doesn’t work with couples. Ann believes that each of you deserves your own private, uncensored process to discover your own truth. Ultimately, you’ll decide together. Yet, before a productive conversation can occur, at least one of you (preferably both of you) needs to be clear on your true desire, rather than bending to outside pressures about what you should want. No matter where you or your partner are on your journey, Ann is here to support you in making a decision you feel good about, once and for all. Hear more about Ann’s thoughtful response to this question over on our blog.

As we continue to transition into 2024, many of us are asking ourselves the same question: What do I want to happen this year? Do you want to finally make a decision about whether to become a parent? If so, why? The why is key. If you want to make this decision because you think you should, because your friends have already decided, because there’s pressure to decide based on your age, or your relationship might come to an end — it will make it difficult to succeed in your resolution. You have to decide for yourself, but the good news is, there is help — a proven way to decide whether parenthood is right for you… Sign up for our Parenthood Clarity Courses now! . . . #motherhoodisitforme #parenthoodindecision #shouldibeamother #childfree #motherhood #parenthood #anndavidman #decisionmaking #decisions #Ismotherhoodforme
Often, when people think about whether or not they want to become a parent they almost solely think about their decision, which many assume is directly tied to their desire. However, determining your desire and making your decision are two different processes. One’s desire can align with their decision but that is not always the case. And merging these two (desire and decision) will always cloud clarity. The fact is they always remain separate.

Recently Ann received a great question from a prospective student. Check it out below: “Hi Ann, I’m considering taking either the Motherhood Clarity Course or the Fatherhood Clarity Course. Yet, I don’t identify with either being male or female. I identify as non-binary, and I do get a bit frustrated about how everything is gendered, especially when it comes to parenthood. The idea of motherhood or fatherhood just doesn’t resonate with me — I want to be a good parent, if I choose to become a parent. Which course do you recommend that I take? How are they different?” Ann has the answer, and she’s sharing it over on the blog.

The holidays are supposed to feel exhilarating, exciting, rich, and full. A time to reflect on and appreciate all you have. Yet, if you’re feeling fraught with the indecision about parenthood — whether to have children vs. remain child-free, everything can feel more complex… When you’re struggling, how can you hold on to what is true for you in the face of strong personalities and other people’s judgments and opinions (when you can barely stay connected to yourself)? Many people try to put on a happy face — pretending to feel good because it seems easier than setting a new boundary or facing the truth that you’re not feeling so great this year, and it’s okay. So, we are sharing three practices to stay connected to yourself during this holiday season.

When you try to figure out the answers to two questions at the same time, it creates an indecision loop in your mind. This especially applies to questions about whether or not to become a parent, including both “What is your desire?” and “What is your decision?” Those might not seem like two separate questions, but they absolutely are. Part of the reason you might be feeling stuck as you decide whether to become a parent is that you haven’t been treating them as the two separate questions they actually are. If you are looking to discover your desire and have support making a parenthood decision, we are here for you.

It’s hard to set aside the expectations and judgment of others in your parenthood clarity journey, but your goal isn’t for others to feel good about your decision to become a father or to live child-free.

As you think deeply about whether or not to become a parent, it can be hard to differentiate what you feel pressured to decide and what you actually want. And, for some people, it can be helpful to have these conversations one-on-one. In Ann’s Private Clarity Course, she’ll guide you during individual sessions so you can move from confusion to clarity. This is so important because once you’ve addressed your unhealed wounds (that almost everyone has), you can know what’s right for you. You just have to find a way to reach your deepest truth and then believe in your power to act on it — and Ann customizes every teaching just for you. You’ll discover that there's no correct answer, there's only your answer. Learn more about our Private Clarity Course today!

Often, people assume that you should just know whether or not you want to become a parent — but what happens if you don’t know? The reality is that many people don’t know! And it is perfectly normal to not know. So, once you accept that it is okay to not know, how do you get on the path to clarity? Our blog, “How To Know If You Want To Be A Parent” is a great place to start.

The CNN article "Why I’m hoping ‘motherhood spectrum’ will be the new ‘sober curious,’" is incredibly important, and choosing a childfree life should stay front and center in the news until we no longer live in a pro-natalist society. Until there is room to choose not to be a parent, there isn’t room for those who want to pause and ponder the question because they’re ambivalent or don’t know how to decide. There’s a lot to unpack in this article but let’s start with a few things not mentioned. Of course, women get to decide if they want to become a parent or not. It is not something that is just supposed to happen and they won't wake up one day and just know what they want and what to do about it. It is a woman’s birthright to know that becoming a parent is a choice, and discovering their desire may have many different outcomes — such as... They might not want to be a parent and choose a childfree life. They might want to be a parent and choose to become a mother. They might not want to be a parent and choose parenthood. They might want to be a parent and choose a childfree life. And the reasons for these decisions are personal and only the person making them needs to know why. Otherwise, it is no one’s business.

As you’ve been vacationing this summer have you noticed any seemingly happy families, including loving parents and adorable children, who all seem so connected and sweet with one another? You might have said to yourself, If I don’t have children, I won’t have that. I’m afraid I’ll miss out. On the other hand, if you saw vacationing families that looked miserable, it might have reaffirmed the idea that you want to live child-free. Our newest blog, “Where Your FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) on Parenthood Really Comes From,” digs into the FOMO phenomenon — the fear of missing out. If you find yourself feeling afraid to miss out on parenthood, the reason behind it might be more complex than you think — and the path out of this limited pattern of thinking might be simpler than you realize. Click the link in our bio to read this blog and learn how to reframe your FOMO to help you move forward toward clarity. . . . #motherhoodisitforme #parenthoodindecision #shouldibeamother #childfree #motherhood #parenthood #anndavidman #decisionmaking #decisions #Ismotherhoodforme

Ann Davidman has dedicated her life to helping people find their truth despite societal pressures that tell them they should become parents — to take ownership over their parenthood decision, because it is only theirs to make. As Ann said in her Vox article “I help people decide if they want to have kids. Here’s my advice … parenthood is neither a destiny nor a debate. There is no single right choice. Only you can know what’s right for you: You are the helmsperson of your life.” If you are wanting to learn more about her process or to see her tips for starting your parenthood clarity journey, tap the link in our bio to read the full article! . . . #motherhoodisitforme #parenthoodindecision #shouldibeamother #childfree #motherhood #parenthood #anndavidman #decisionmaking #decisions #Ismotherhoodforme

Imagine a future where there is a line on the patient history forms you fill out at your doctor’s office asking, “Do you know whether you want to have children? (not everyone knows and it’s okay not to know)” and providing resources to help you decide. This is the future that Ann Davidman has been working towards for over thirty years. She has created a wonderful book, Motherhood-Is It For Me? with Denise Carlini to support individuals in discovering their desire as an alternative to conforming to what society is telling them to do. She has created wonderful courses to stand side by side with people as they work towards clarity. This is the future we want to see not only for women but for anybody who is facing parenthood indecision.

Pause ⏸️ Posted @withregram • @anndavidman Today’s post comes with a very important message: Everyone has the right to pause and ponder if they want to become a parent. Often, on the topic of parenthood, men use statements such as “It doesn’t matter to me,” or “I can go either way,” or “whatever my partner wants will work for me.” We must ask ourselves where this neutrality comes from and recognize that the choice to become a parent is an individual decision — one that my Motherhood and Fatherhood Clarity Courses help people who are struggling with this issue find clarity.

Often, when we think of becoming a parent we consider it a two-person decision — you and the individual that you are deciding whether or not to have a child with. That decision may be collaborative, but determining your own desire is not. Your desire is separate from your decision, and it is personal to you. It is a reflection of your values, your wants, and your needs. It cannot be influenced by the people around you and no one can decide what your desire is: it is up to you. Ann Davidman has dedicated her life to helping people determine their desire, and she can help you, too.

We want to share a heartwarming email we received from Stephanie, a recent graduate of Ann’s Motherhood Clarity Course: “As a 47-year-old woman, married to a man eight years older than me who does not want to have any more kids, I was confused and unclear about my own desire, and struggled on a daily basis with the pain and sadness of possibly making a monumental life mistake. I was pleasantly surprised when I did my research and found the Motherhood Clarity Course. I didn’t know something so specific, that addressed my exact issue, even existed. I was even more shocked and relieved when I saw there are so many women dealing with the same tormenting questions and feelings around motherhood. I gained so much value, not only from the work and the sessions — but from hearing the stories of the other women, and working through our internal battles together… The Motherhood Clarity Course was without a doubt a huge gift to my mental health and well-being, and has made a big impact on my life.” . . . #motherhoodisitforme #parenthoodindecision #shouldibeamother #childfree #motherhood #parenthood #anndavidman #decisionmaking #decisions #Ismotherhoodforme
As you think deeply about whether to become a father, it can be hard to figure out what you actually want. To separate what you desire from what you have been conditioned to think or feel. Our Fatherhood Clarity Course creates an environment where it is okay to not know. It’s okay to be confused — and it’s more than okay to ask for help. Through this course, you’ll discover there is no correct answer — there’s only your answer. Click the link in our bio to learn more and register now.

For many women, Mother’s Day stands as a reminder of their motherhood indecision. As the holiday quickly approaches, I would first like to say that my heart goes out to you. I would also like to offer a practice that I think will be helpful as you begin teasing out why you feel distressed about making the motherhood decision. Challenging your beliefs is an excellent way to differentiate between an internalized message and your actual desire. These writing prompts will help you discover if you’re holding onto beliefs that are worthy of challenging. I encourage you to write out your answers — stream-of-consciousness writing allows thoughts to come forward that we often didn’t see coming. As you review your writing, I hope you’re able to glean a piece of new information to help you move forward. Read more about this practice in our most recent blog!
