Mom gives encouraging messages to women who have anxiety over not having kids by a certain age

"My mom had me at 42 and wants you all to feel at peace that you have time."

Women in their 30s who want to have kids but haven't yet can empathize with one another that it can be a precarious and anxiety-inducing position to be in. And waiting to have kids at an 'older' age is often frowned upon.

But TikToker Katie G (@wanthoney) shared an encouraging message from her mom Libby to women nervous about not having kids by a certain age. In the video, Katie asks her mom what advice she would have for women who may be feeling pressured, stressed, or anxious. "My mom had me at 42 and wants you all to feel at peace that you have time," she wrote in the video.

American tourist’s mere $200 hospital bill in Spain left her speechless—and forever changed her views on healthcare

“We didn’t expect it to be that cheap.”

While traveling abroad has many joys (broadening your horizons, meeting new people, tasting delicious foods you’ve never heard of before), sometimes, being in a foreign place can also be scary—especially if things go haywire. What happens when disaster strikes? Does your phone have cell or WiFi service? Are you able to speak the language well enough to convey what’s even happened?

Questions like these raced through Ana Ochoa’s mind when she witnessed her 83-year-old father miss a step and then fall, hard, onto the pavement outside of a Madrid restaurant as they were leaving. Luckily, an ambulance arrived, and her father was whisked off to Hospital Clínico San Carlos, one of Spain’s most respected medical institutions.

Girl with cancer sings emotional 'Greatest Showman' song for talent show audition

"I cried my eyes out."

Second grader Brielle Bird, 9, has the voice of a songbird. Brielle is currently battling cancer, stage 4 neuroblastoma, for the second time following a relapse in January 2024. And despite her physical challenges, she did not let it stop her from auditioning for her school's talent show.

In an emotional video shared on Instagram, Brielle sang "A Million Dreams" from The Greatest Showman, just a few days after receiving bad new from her doctors. "When you’re tired, I’ll keep fighting for you!" Brielle's mom Kendra wrote in the video's caption.
