Everyone's journey in life is different, which means our paths move in different ways. Some people get married, and others don't. Some people have children, and others would rather a life without them.
There is no right or wrong - it's all down to choice, but people still get criticised for being "different". One woman knows all too well what it's like to be criticised for how she choses to live her life. Karina Irby is known for promoting body positivity online – and people love how authentic she is when it comes to body image .
The bikini model and designer, who is the CEO of the brand Moana Swim, often documents her feelings on Instagram , and she recently turned her attention to the topic of pregnancy . She admitted many people still urge her to have children, even though she doesn't want them. In fact, she'd rather spend her time looking after her dogs .
For her, this is much more satisfying.

Me - 'I have a 13yr old, 11yr old, 7yr old and 1yr old'." Alongside the post she shared a picture of herself cradling her dog at the beach.
Proudly flaunting her bod in a bikini, she cuddled her pooch with pride in a bid to remind people that happiness comes in all shapes and forms. All families are different, and Karina's pets form a big part of hers. More than 8,000 people have liked the post since she shared it �.
