Ep. 60 - Only Not Lonely: Celebrating the One-Child Family with Shannon Eng
Moms, only you know when your family is complete. Deciding how many children to have is a deeply personal decision, and frankly, one that requires no approval from family and friends. Yet, judgement abounds…That’s why Shannon Eng, a California-based mom, created the platform Only, Not Lonely Kids. She and her husband have one child, by choice, and she celebrates other families who make the same decision.Shannon spoke so honestly about her feelings and, truthfully, even moms of multiple kids will agree with much of the realities of motherhood we struggle with. Listen in to hear:* the common misconceptions and stereotypes surrounding only children—and why most of them aren’t true* how Shannon and her husband decided together on having one child and how they navigated outside pressure* the inspiration behind creating Only, Not Lonely Kids and how the community supports one-child families* sharing the emotional and practical factors that went into their decision to stop at one child…and yes, mental health and finances both matter!.* encouragement for other parents to trust themselves, honor their limits, and define family size on their own terms.Learn more about Shannon on IG @onlynotlonelykids - give her a follow!Find us at www.thelocalmomsnetwork.comIG: @thelocalmomsnetworkEmail: demetra@thelocalmomsnetwork.comPodcast facilities provided by the Digital Factory of NBCUniversal at Stamford Studios.
