Nutrition is vital to mental health, and I have to tell y'all I've never felt better since I started taking

AG1 from athletic greens. I've started taking AG1 because I wanted to try something more convenient and easier on my stomach than taking

handfuls of supplements. So what is this stuff? With one delicious scoop of AG1, you're absorbing 75 high-quality vitamins,

first thing in the morning, and not only does it taste delicious, but it's helping me feel mentally sharp, clear, and energized.

Hello, welcome to emotional bad ass where Moxie meets mindful. I'm Nikki Eisenhower, your host, Life Coach and Psychotherapist.

And on today's episode, I'm discussing the big question, Children or Child Free.

One of, if not the biggest questions of our lives, is whether or not to have children? Few topics are as complicated as this one.

In this episode, I'm attempting to scratch the surface of this deep, deep, deep question that we all face.

I'm going to shoot this through the lens of a progression. Recently, I did an episode on Patreon about my progression through my relationship with food.

And you all gave me feedback that you really liked that, that being able to see that progression in my life helped you see some progression in your relationship with food.

So I'm here to share my progression through this issue of whether or not to become a mother, whether or not to become a parent, to bring children into the world.

First, I need to say to you that no one can make this decision for you. Only you can make this decision to be a parent or not.

A child is really a co-creation with the universe. What I mean by that is, we don't get to fully decide the moment we're going to have a child or if and when we can get pregnant.

Or if we're male, or if we're when we can create a child with a woman.

Our life in so many ways isn't just what we intend of it. It is this co-creation of what we intend and how the universe unfolds where it meets us.

What I suggest on this big topic, just like all the life topics, everything that we're dealing with and learning about, is to get to know yourself. And that means getting to know your strengths, your own limitations, your priorities, your morals, your values, your beliefs.

And thinking about what you really want out of life, what experience you want to have in this one precious life.
