Welcome Family Core episode 3 as we talk about a really important part of relationships—when you're expecting a baby. It's a special time, and you'll get what I mean when you hear our guest on the show.

Just before I shared this episode, something cute happened. I picked up our oldest kid, Nkazimulo, and he wanted to sit in the front seat. Looking at him, I realized he's turning 9 soon. It made me think about how people used to say, "Enjoy them while you can because they grow up fast," and now I totally get it.

In our house, we've got three lively kids, aged 8, 7, and 5. If you asked me ten years ago how many kids I wanted, I'd probably have said none. But meeting their mom changed everything; she was the missing piece to my puzzle.

I used to worry about having kids because of how I grew up. I didn't want things to be the same for my family. Luckily, my wife is kind and really good at understanding feelings, something I wasn't sure I had enough of to raise a happy family.

Our guest today is Pinky Mhlongo, a Social Worker from Durban. She'll help us understand what to talk about when planning to have kids and when might be the right time.
