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.
