Summary
From postpartum recovery and sleepless nights to six weeks without intimacy, many of us step into marriage unprepared for the realities of motherhood. Add to that the emotional rollercoaster of discerning when to welcome another child only to face unexpected pregnancies--it's clear this journey isn’t always tidy.
In this episode, I sit down with Chrissy Horton, content creator and mother of six, for an honest, no-holds-barred conversation about life without contraception, the joy and chaos of raising a large family, and the adventure that unfolds when you surrender your fertility to God. Spoiler alert: the sex life? It gets better. We also unpack the cultural biases against big families: where they come from, why they persist, and why they’re flat-out wrong. It’s a road marked with sacrifice, but also with beauty, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
