Why do people choose to have kids when deep down they know it may not be the best choice—for them or the child? In this episode, I dive into a raw and real conversation that doesn’t get talked about enough.

I explore:

The reality of bringing children into unhealthy relationships.

How some women (and couples) get pregnant for the wrong reasons—believing a child will fix the relationship or fill a void.

Why it’s absolutely okay to not want kids, and how choosing consciously is a powerful act of love.

The beauty of bringing a child into the world when both partners are emotionally, mentally, and financially stable.

Why seeking therapy, healing childhood wounds, and building a healthy foundation before marriage or children matters.

This isn’t about judgment—it’s about awareness. I’ve seen both sides: the struggles of single mothers raising children on their own, and the joy of strong, healthy couples raising babies in love. My hope is that this episode sparks more open, honest conversations about the responsibility and beauty of parenthood, and why making conscious choices before bringing a life into this world is an act of love for yourself and your future child.

✨ Whether you’re a parent, considering becoming one, or choosing a different path, this episode is for you
