061: Intentional Family Planning
EPISODE SHOW NOTES
Sex.Love.Power.: The intimacy podcast for powerful women & those who love them
In my coaching practice and in my life, I hear so many questions about family planning; how to decide, when to start, and how many kids to have. The list goes on. There are strong societal expectations around becoming parents that can keep us from realizing what we really want and what’s best for us and our relationships. In this episode, I decided to round up my thoughts on some of the common questions I get around children and their effect on relationship that you may be considering
In this episode, we’ll discuss:
Understanding and navigating differences in your and your partner’s desire to have kids
Deciding if you’re ready to be a parent and what your timeline is
How to consider your relationship and lifestyle when starting or growing your family
What I did to prepare for our first baby
Taking care of the relationship once you have children
And more.
