Summary

Most of us have an idea of what we think our life should look like. Our education, job, friends, family, and marriage are just a few aspects that we think have to turn out a certain way. But then they don't, and reality sinks in leaving us to grieve what wasn't or didn't happen.

In this episode Abi bares it all in her most vulnerable time of sharing on the podcast as she talks candidly with Justin about her pain of not having children. Together they open up about their decision around children and the grief that followed.

If you're looking for a genuine story of humanity that will challenge you to accept what is and leave you feeling like you're not alone in your experience, this episode is for you.
