Ep 27: Why Do You Want to Have Children?

Ep 27: Why Do You Want to Have Children?

Author: Natalee Facey July 3, 2021 Duration: 1:02:11

Today's episode is a loving heart-to-heart. Listen to it when you have space to process and work through some questions that may potentially be challenging. Key among them: What's at the root of your desire for having children?

 

This isn't to discourage you from wanting children. Children are beautiful. However, as you're on this journey, I want you to be aware of who you are in the midst of it all. 

 

Who or what might be influencing your desire? What's at your heart of hearts? And what's being impacted by something else that will still need healing even after your little one/s arrive. 

 

It's your awareness that leads to your liberation, healing, and empowerment. Wherever you are on your pregnancy journey, my desire is for you to be able to feel whole. I want you to be good!

 

Take your time with this one. And whatever comes up for you, I'm only an email (hello@nataleefacey.com) or Instagram message away.

Navigating the path toward another pregnancy after a loss or trauma is a deeply personal and often isolating experience. Preparing For Pregnancy After Loss offers a compassionate space for this unique journey, hosted by Natalee Facey. As a mother to two angel babies herself, as well as a Resilience Coach and Birth Doula, Natalee brings both professional insight and profound personal understanding to each conversation. This podcast gently addresses the complex layers-emotional, physical, and mental-that accompany family planning after experiences like infertility, traumatic birth, or infant loss. Episodes weave together practical guidance on health and fitness with essential discussions on inner healing and emotional resilience. You’ll hear honest dialogues, strategies for rebuilding hope, and reflections on transforming grief into a source of strength. It’s more than just an educational resource; it’s about finding a supportive voice that acknowledges the fear and courage that coexist when considering pregnancy again. Through this podcast, Natalee aims to foster a sense of community and grounded preparation, helping you reconnect with your own body and spirit on your own terms.
