Shame & Having Kids: "What if I don't want them?"

from Untethering Shame · host Kyira Wackett

Join me and my dear friend, Morgin Ennis in this powerful and absolutely necessary conversation about the complexities of deciding whether or not to have kids and what it might look like to take the wind out of the sails in the shame-boat that you are supposed to want kids. Some of my favorite points included: Why talking about kids is so hard for many women The important reality that you can love kids AND not want them The fears that made Morgin second guess if she could be a “good enough” mom The importance of being fluid in how we view our lives and the choices we make The shame and pain in step parenting relationships and why we need to take the pressure off What is the drama triangle and how this is showing up for us in every aspect of our lives The realities of having a kid that we need to give space for ourselves and everyone else to feel and face  The importance of being curious versus projecting our stories onto others The most important question to ask yourself when you think about a full life Giving yourself permission to close the door when you need to on a topic or decision in your life.  How we get to decide how we nurture our traits and values, not the world around us Ugh, and don't even get me started on the part where we talk about opening and closing doors around the 40-minute mark! So good!!! More about Morgin "My name is Morgin. I am passionate about living a balanced healthy lifestyle, working hard and having fun along the way. I have a cleaning business and have been cleaning houses for about 10 years now. Being vulnerable and sharing my emotions has always been a huge part of who I am and how I communicate, I would love to share that mindset with the world."
