An interesting coincidence occurred in my coaching practice this week. Two of my clients, women in their late thirties, independently confided in me that they were looking into freezing their eggs as a way of preserving their fertility. Fortunately, I knew what they were talking about as I had read an article in New York Magazine late last year that profiled New York City women looking into this exact technology. The article, Stop Time, asked "is egg freezing the next big thing for New York career women facting intertility?" When I read the article at the time, I was saddened by the lengths these women, whom I obviously did not know, were willing to go as they continued to search for a life partner. So while they preferred to have a partner with whom to have children, they saw their "biological clocks" winding down and feeling the need to do something proactive. Now that I personally know women facing this challenge, I'm finding myself struggling alongside to give them support and to help them find the answers. . . . as well as Mr. Right. Single motherhood has also been a New York topic du jour, as the New York Times Magazine recently published an article Looking for Mr. Good Sperm. A good review and discussion of this article can be found at my friend Esther's blog JDatersAnonymous. I'll be posting more soon on this topic, but in the meantime, if there's anything you think I can do to help my clients as they navigate this new territory, I invite you to post a comment here, or to contact me.
