@ParissAthena When I was 20 something, I wanted to get my tubes tied. TL;DR I was basically refused the procedure because I was too young and “if” something happened to my existing children I wouldn’t have any other options to conceive again…Still bitter of the experience.

Food for 💭... The next time you're scheduling a meeting at work think to yourself "How much does this meeting cost?" "Are the outcomes worth how much this meeting cost?"... Would you pay e.g $2,500 (the cost of everyone included) for a 1 hr meeting that had 0 outcomes???
