ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!

I’m really excited about today’s episode. Today we’re talking all about how to figure out if you’re ready to have kids.

This topic is incredibly important to me because deciding we were going to start trying to have kids is maybe one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make. Maybe you’re the woman who’s always seen yourself as being a mom and you have no doubt in your mind about that. But I know there are also women on the other side of the spectrum, like me, who are dealing with so many doubts, fears and questions.

To talk us through some of these questions, I invited my very best friend, Kelsey Bennett, on the show! Kelsey is my go-to person for pretty much any question I have about kids or parenting. Kelsey is the one who walked me through my whole journey of figuring out if and when I was ready to have kids and I’m so thrilled to get to share her wisdom with you today too.

Just a heads up — we actually had so much to discuss in this episode that we decided to split it into two episodes.

In part one, we’ll be talking through questions like, “Does everyone want to have kids and do we need to have kids?” “How do we go about the conversation with our significant other?” “What if you find yourself having way more doubt and fear than longing? Is that normal?” And so much more! And then in part two we’ll talk more about what it actually looked like for us to get ready to have kids.

Having kids is a really big decision to make! It comes with excitement and fears and everything in between, so I’m so excited to talk through this with you!
