In this episode, Keltie speaks with writer and author, Jackie Shannon Hollis, about what happens when you fall in love with a man who doesn't want children, joyfully commit to a life together...and then begin longing for a child, shortly after your wedding day. You'll hear them discuss:
- The importance of being intentional in our choices and not being locked into societal expectations.
- The role of other people's opinions and how Jackie managed her feelings of longing for a child while being in a relationship with someone who didn't want kids.
- Why there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to having kids.
- How Jackie made peace with the decision not to have children and how she found joy and fulfillment in other areas of life.
- The challenges and rewards of aging without children, and the richness that comes from focusing on what one has rather than what one does not have.
