About this listen

On this episode of Affirmations and Gratitude, host Rae Sanchez, MFT, explores a question that may seem harmless on the surface, but can carry deep emotional weight: "Why don’t you have kids?" While often asked out of curiosity, this question can unintentionally open wounds, stir grief, or challenge personal boundaries.

Through real stories from listeners and a therapeutic lens, Rae unpacks why this topic is so sensitive. You’ll hear how issues like infertility, personal choice, and societal expectations intersect, and why it’s essential to approach these conversations with empathy and respect.

Tune in for thoughtful alternatives to asking personal questions, and learn how we can foster more supportive, understanding dialogue with those around us.
