EP 352: How to Decide How Many Kids to Have

In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with my husband, Vito, to have an open and candid conversation about whether or not we should have a fourth child.

As parents of three, we’ve already experienced the beautiful chaos of a growing family, and now, with the idea of adding another little one into the mix, we find ourselves at a crossroads.

We start by reflecting on our current family dynamic, sharing the joys and challenges of raising three kids. Vito and I discuss the emotional and logistical aspects of parenting, including how we've grown as individuals and as partners over the years.

While we both love the idea of a big family, we also acknowledge the practicalities—how it might affect our time, energy, and resources. The conversation brings out some surprising thoughts from both sides, from Vito's desire to enjoy the family we've built to my excitement about adding another child to our home.

We also delve into the deeper question of what “enough” means for our family. How do we know when we've reached our limit? Are we thinking about this decision out of genuine desire, or is there an external pressure influencing us?

This episode isn’t just about whether or not to have another baby; it's a deeper exploration of what family means to us, how we balance our dreams with reality, and how we approach big decisions as partners.

Tune in for a thoughtful, honest conversation about family, growth, and the beauty of making decisions together.
