Should we have another child? What does it really mean to step into parenthood as a couple?
In this episode, host June speaks with Ethan and Naomi Lim, parents of a young toddler, as they share their honest and reflective journey into having children.
They share candidly about entering parenthood amid uncertainty, including career changes and infertility. With a desire to support one another in their marriage, they reflect on the joy of seeing the world through their child’s eyes, alongside the exhaustion, loss of personal space, and emotional stretching that come with raising a child. Their conversation highlights how parenthood can deepen understanding between spouses, surface past wounds, and invite growth when navigated together.
If you and your spouse feel uncertain or misaligned about having children, hear Ethan and Naomi share practical insights on creating safe spaces for conversation, negotiating differing desires, and drawing support from mentors and community.
A thoughtful and compassionate listen for married couples considering whether—and when—to welcome children into their family.
