Summary

I’ve had 5 years of being asked this question. #PalmToFace

It’s one I asked others over the years! It seemed innocuous and I didn’t realize how triggering, personal, or just awkward it can be.

This question is asked whether someone is pregnant, using IVF or conceiving naturally, or even had children years ago.

Please note this isn’t to shame any of us who have asked (or answered!) over the years.

We did the best we could with what we knew then.

Now we know better, so we’ll do better for both parents and children.

0:43.4	I don't want to have overwhelm.

1:00.7	And for me, it's the pairing that with my elegant excellence journal is getting wisdom
1:06.2	both from the outside, from some expert or source on this topic that's on my heart.
1:11.5	And from the inside, taking time to sit with myself, to see what my fears are, my anxieties,
1:18.2	how I want to approach today, what my priorities should be, what it is that I feel like I'm hearing
