Imagine having eighteen kids...yes, EIGHTEEN. This week’s guest Jenn Taylor is a podcast host, author, coach, public speaker, and the mother of eighteen children. This week we are talking about what it has been like for her to navigate her role as a mother and identity as a woman. At the age of fifteen, she was told that she would never have children. After becoming pregnant in her early twenties and during the first few years of marriage, Jenn almost lost her infant daughter. She was a military wife and had to endure the traumatic situation mostly alone. This lesson that this situation taught her propelled her into her calling as a mother and has given her a new perspective on life. In this episode, we talk about the struggle of infertility and loss, the misconceptions people have about big families, and how to balance the demands of parenthood and everyday life. This is a powerful interview whether you are a mother or not and will give you a deeper perspective on the mental and emotional challenges that ALL women face. Questions? Comments?
