About this podcast

In this insightful debut episode of "On Purpose with Radhi," Jay Shetty and Radhi Devlukia tackle a deeply personal yet universally discussed topic: the persistent question, "When are you having kids?" They peel back the layers of this seemingly casual inquiry, revealing its profound impact on individuals grappling with biological realities, cultural expectations, financial considerations, and personal aspirations. Jay and Radhi explore how external pressures from family, societal timelines, and social media comparisons can lead to feelings of being 'behind,' despite statistics showing a trend towards later parenthood. They sensitively address the unspoken challenges of IVF, miscarriages, and the fear of balancing career ambitions with motherhood. This episode offers valuable guidance on handling pressure, preparing for the realities of parenthood, discerning personal readiness, and supporting friends through fertility struggles. It's a powerful reminder that true fulfillment comes from living with intention and aligning with one's own values, not conforming to external timelines.
