In this episode, Calla Talman shares her story with all of the nuances and different starting points, stopping points, and insights. We have a transparent conversation, and Calla explains that it's okay to decide and find the confidence around knowing when your family is complete. It doesn't matter what your reason is, as long as it's authentic to you. I love how she talked about knowing her own limits, and I think that's helpful for moms and for parents, individually and together, to look at those things. Tune in as Calla speaks from her soul and reveals raw thoughts and emotions around finding peace with her family size.
