Due to societal views, cultural views, family views, etc. it is ingrained in us that our lives are deficient and unfruitful in the absence of children and a spouse.

A vicious and vile darkness preys on those of us on the journey to parenthood. Especially where that journey looks dark, desolate, and debilitating. It starts with a "b." Can you guess what it is?

This thing eats at our souls and leaves us depleted and angry. If we are not careful,...

Let's give it back to the One and Only Creator so that we can progress towards a thriving life in the middle of the unknown. Tune in to tonight's episode and the other episodes...
