EP70: Why children are a FOREVER problem

“Parenting doesn’t end when they start sleeping through the night — it evolves. It stretches you, reshapes you, and rewires who you are forever.” In this deeply honest and reflective episode, I unpack what no one really says out loud: that children are a forever problem. Not because they’re a burden — but because they are a lifelong responsibility. A soul-deep, heart-expanding, identity-shifting commitment that doesn’t come with an end date. From realizing I’ll need to wake up at 5am again when my child starts school, to noticing how easily we underestimate the emotional, relational, and practical shifts that come with parenting — this episode invites you to pause and reflect on what we’ve really signed up for as parents. Whether you're still deciding whether to have kids, are in the thick of parenting, or wondering why you're feeling so stretched — this conversation is for you. It’s real. It’s grounding.

And it's ultimately a reminder: This “problem” we call parenting is also life’s most sacred privilege.
