It’s Okay to Apologize to Your Kids with Serena Williams

Once I did it, because I was still playing professional tennis, and I felt like I wasn't ready to stop, and I wanted to keep going, and it just wasn't time.

And then all of a sudden, all this pressure came off of my shoulders.

It’s Okay to Apologize to Your Kids with Serena Williams

It was just all this weight just fell off my shoulders once I did that.

IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
It’s Okay to Apologize to Your Kids with Serena Williams

Ever since then, I told everyone to do it.

IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson

I was like 27, 28.

IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
It’s Okay to Apologize to Your Kids with Serena Williams

Yeah.

IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
It’s Okay to Apologize to Your Kids with Serena Williams

So it was a really good time to do it.

And also, someone told me to do it.

It’s Okay to Apologize to Your Kids with Serena Williams

So I always felt like it was really important for me to pay that forward.

It’s Okay to Apologize to Your Kids with Serena Williams

Because then nowadays with technology, there's just so much that you can do.

Like you said, even with IVF, which is also such a great journey as well.

And I just felt so much better that I actually had that option.

IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
It’s Okay to Apologize to Your Kids with Serena Williams

So yeah, that's what we were able to do as well.

I mean, I don't think that we have that conversation enough about how many times that either you conceive and you have a miscarriage or whether you conceive and it doesn't work.

IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
It’s Okay to Apologize to Your Kids with Serena Williams

So I feel like the only times that work when you're not trying to conceive.

IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
It’s Okay to Apologize to Your Kids with Serena Williams

That's right.

IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
It’s Okay to Apologize to Your Kids with Serena Williams

I think that's just a really important part of just being a woman and just all these things.

IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
It’s Okay to Apologize to Your Kids with Serena Williams

I'm all about just breaking down these walls and talking about the uncomfortable and making them comfortable and talking about things that more people don't.

IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
It’s Okay to Apologize to Your Kids with Serena Williams

So you could tell us more about Rome, but it's okay.

IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
It’s Okay to Apologize to Your Kids with Serena Williams

Not that.
