How to Decide If You Want To Have Kids & Why It's Okay to Question It

Nuance Needed

In this conversation, Amanda and Sam discuss the topic of whether or not to have children. They explore their own experiences and Amanda shares her perspective on being someone who was not sure if she wanted children and how she decided she wanted one. Now she shares her experience form the other side-- specifically the challenges and joys that come with it.

We also touch on the importance of individual choice and the need to prioritize personal values and well-being when making decisions about having children. The conversation explores the challenges and decisions surrounding parenthood. It highlights the importance of having support, flexibility, and financial stability as a parent. We discuss the need for self-reflection and self-acceptance when making decisions about parenthood and emphasize that there is no right or wrong choice.

We encourage listeners to give themselves breathing room and make choices that align with their values and desires. If you would like more on this topic, find Amanda's substack "Fence Sitter". https://amandaewhite.substack.com/.
