Having Kids: Love, Fear, or Expectation?

Why do we really have children?
In this episode, I unpack the advice many of us grew up hearing; that you should have kids so you won’t be lonely, or that having children will strengthen your marriage.
But are those reasons rooted in love… or fear?
I reflect on a recent conversation with my parents, question traditional beliefs about motherhood, and explore a perspective that stopped me in my tracks:
If a child could choose their parents… would they choose you right now?
This is an uncomfortable, honest conversation about timing, intention, and the kind of life we’re building before bringing someone else into it.
