This freaked me out! What are the odds I had a sleepover at my sister’s house and we had the SAME DREAM!? This twin telepathy-type dream sparked a reel I posted on Instagram that resonated with so many of you. How do you know when you're done having children or if you want more? In this episode, my sister Brooke talks about the decision to complete her family of five, and I share how I deal with the implications of a potential "geriatric pregnancy" at 38. Let's dive into identity shifts, the grief that comes with closing the door on expanding your family, and how to make decisions that give you inner peace!
