Hey friends, welcome to Girls Night. I'm Stephanie May Wilson and I am so happy that you're here.

Each week I have a girlfriend over and we talk through one of the biggest questions we have about

our lives as women. We're talking about friendships and faith and relationships and self-confidence.

About our calling in life and how to live every bit of our lives to the full.

Life is so much better and easier and absolutely more fun when we navigate it together as

girlfriends and I cannot wait to get started. So I'm so excited about today's episode because

we're diving in a part two of how to figure out if you're ready to have kids and I'm here with

Does your life really end when you have kids? Don't people say that? They say it all the time.

And then how does God's timing claim to all this? Like I said last week this is a huge decision and

thankfully it's not one we need to make by ourselves. I am so grateful that I had women like Kelsey in

my corner to help me process through all of my thoughts and feelings and questions and I am so

honored to get to open up this conversation here too. But before we dive in I wanted to make sure

you've had a chance to check out my newest prayer journal. It's called Between Places. A hundred

days of trusting God when you don't know what's next. This is a prayer journal I actually wrote as

Carl and I were in the process of trying to get pregnant through IVF and I love this journal because
