How to Decide If You Should Have Kids or Not: Family Planning WIth Keltie Maguire (102)

How the Wise One Grows

In this episode, clarity coach Keltie Maguire helps us navigate one of life's most significant decisions—whether to embrace parenthood or opt for a child-free lifestyle. We delve into the societal norms, cultural expectations, and personal considerations that impact this choice. Our discussion is guided by listener questions and stories, addressing the stigmas associated with opting out of parenthood and exploring emotional journeys for both paths.

We also tackle concepts like 'mother hunger' and 'birth strike' in relation to family planning. This episode is designed to help listeners understand personal fulfillment and intentional living, whether deciding to have children or remain child-free.

Join us for an insightful exploration that encourages reflection and self-acceptance, perfect for anyone contemplating this major life decision or seeking affirmation in their choice.
