490. Ten questions to ask yourself if you are unsure about having kids

Author: Alexis Fernandez-Preiksa - Neuroscientist and Mindset Coach April 6, 2026 Duration: 48:58

This is the episode you have been asking for and waiting for and we are finally here!


How do you really know if you want children? Can you ever truly be ready for it? And what kind of questions do you need to ask yourself AND your partner before embarking on starting a family, or choosing to not.


While I cannot give you black and white answers, I really hope this episode helps you get deeper into your own thoughts about the topic and lead you to having a bit more clarity around the subject!

I asked myself these questions before having my own children and I feel it did help prepare me for this new season in life quite a bit!


Enjoy!
