Should We Go For One More? with Jess Runas

Picking Daisies

Nov 17 2023 • 47 mins

I find myself constantly going back and forth - should we or shouldn't we?

Have another kid, I mean.

Jess Runas is the ultimate "Mom of All Stages" - teen, little kid, toddler, and a baby.  She knows what it's like to balance every stage of the game!  So this was a fun conversation to weigh the ultimate decision of adding another kid to the family.

Episode Highlights:

  • How do you know if you're "done?"
  • Managing the age gaps
  • Considering all-the-things when adding to your family
  • The grief of seeing your kids grow up

Jess Runas is a wife and Mom of 4, based in California. Her social media accounts are real, funny, and welcoming. You can find her on Instagram, Facebook, and also shop her online store, 4theloveshop.
