After a breakup in her 30s, a therapist stressed about when she'd start a family. She set a deadline for kids - and stuck to it.

Gulotta reflects on her breakup at 30, stating, "I watched everybody get engaged and married and have kids, and that was really difficult. I was fluctuating in trying to be in gratitude about being single, but also being very sad and wondering if I would get married and have kids." This captures her emotional struggle as she grappled with her dreams versus reality during her 30s.

In her practice, Gulotta emphasizes the anxiety around fertility for women in their 30s and 40s, saying, "I've seen a lot of women who are suddenly single when they want to have children. I feel like a lot of the burden falls on women to start conversations around kids." Her insights underline the societal pressures women face regarding family planning.
