Broken Adults Speak Sense
Has your child gone no contact with you? Have you gone no contact with your parents? Many of us rush into relationships, only to later realize we chose the wrong partner. If we’re lucky, we can walk away without children involved. But when kids are in the mix, they often bear the deepest wounds from unhealthy relationships.
This podcast dives into relationships, parenting, trauma, and mental healing—while also emphasizing the importance of intentional parenthood. We’ll discuss how past wounds shape our choices, how to break toxic cycles, and how to prepare—mentally, emotionally, and relationally—before bringing children into the world. Because parenting isn’t just about raising kids; it’s about becoming the kind of person who can raise emotionally healthy, well-adjusted adults.

Broken Adults Speak Sense
Why Your 20s May Be the Worst Time to Have Kids (Here’s Why)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We’ve all heard that your 20s are supposed to be the “perfect” time to start a family. But what if that’s one of the biggest myths we’ve been told?
In this episode of Broken Adults Speak Sense, we take an honest look at why becoming a parent in your 20s can be far more difficult than most people expect. This isn’t about telling anyone when they should have children—it’s about understanding the emotional, psychological, financial, and developmental realities that often get ignored.
We discuss:
- Why your brain is still developing well into your mid-to-late 20s
- How emotional maturity affects parenting
- The financial pressures of raising children while you’re still building your own life
- Why many people are still discovering who they are in their 20s
- The impact of childhood trauma on becoming a parent
- How stress, relationships, and identity can shape your parenting journey
- Why waiting a few years can sometimes benefit both you and your future children
Whether you had children in your 20s, are thinking about becoming a parent, or simply want to understand the challenges many young parents face, this conversation is meant to educate—not judge.
