37. Our experience with waiting to have children
In this episode, we dive into our journey of waiting to have children, sharing the background story that led us to this decision. We discuss the incredible experience of welcoming our little one into the world and how that has profoundly impacted our lives. While we explore the pros of becoming parents later in life—such as greater stability and maturity—we also candidly address the cons, including the challenges of energy levels and societal expectations. Ultimately, we reflect on how much we love being parents and the joy our child has brought into our lives, making the wait worthwhile.
