One of the biggest decisions we make as adults is whether or not to have children. How do we come to this decision? What if you disagree about this decision with your partner? What if your desires to have or not to have children change over the course of your relationship? How many children is right for me and my partnership? How does having children align with my other values, family trauma history, finances, religious beliefs, self needs, and personal capabilities? We address these considerations and many more in this episode!

Join us as we help partnerships process through this massive decision, to have or not have children. We offer guidance in compassion, listening, and intentional consideration as you and your partner move through this journey. We not only discuss the decision to have a first baby, but also subsequent children. We hope that we help both partners feel heard and seen in making your decision!
