Encore: Ep 13 - Maria's Childless Son

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

Hey, Fellow Travelers. Maria doesn't want to interfere in her kids' lives, but when she hears that her son wants to have children but his wife doesn't, she wonders if her son will have regrets later if she doesn't say something now. But what should she say, and how? We help her to see that her fears about her son's lack of a voice in his marriage is something she's familiar with herself, and that acknowledging the unspoken will open the door to a new family dynamic.
