Jay & Radhi Talk About the Pressure and Expectations Around Parenthood

Jay & Radhi Talk About the Pressure and Expectations Around Parenthood

In this first episode of On Purpose with Radhi, Jay opens up a conversation many of us have faced but rarely unpack, being asked, “When are you having kids?” What seems like a casual question often carries a weight that touches on biology, cultural expectations, financial realities, and deeply personal struggles. Together, Jay and Radhi peel back the layers of why this question can feel so triggering, especially for women, and why the assumptions behind it often miss the heart of the matter.

They explore how family pressure, societal timelines, and even social media comparisons can make people feel like they’re “behind,” while statistics actually show that having children later in life has become the norm. From the challenges of IVF and miscarriages to the fear of balancing career and motherhood, Jay and Radhi shed light on the unspoken realities couples quietly carry. They remind us that true preparation for parenthood isn’t about perfect timing, it’s about awareness, acceptance, and readiness for change.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Handle Pressure About Having Kids

How to Prepare for the Real Changes of Parenthood

How to Know if You’re Ready for Children

How to Separate Society’s Timeline From Your Own

How to Support Friends Struggling With Fertility

The milestones that matter most are the ones that feel true to you, not the ones dictated by outside voices. Fulfillment is not found in comparison but in living with intention, compassion, and alignment to your own values.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
