Families with one child are far more common in the United States today than ever before, outnumbering two-child families for several decades. Yet, stereotypes and pressure still persist. 

On the podcast to talk with Karen about their families' decision to have one child is Cara Purgason and Snow Lau. Cara and Snow attended the same Parent & Me group with their sons years ago and have stayed really good friends.  While Cara and Snow both have one child, their feelings and experiences around the decision are very different!

Cara and Snow share: 

-       If they discussed how many children they wanted to have before getting married and if that changed after having their sons. 

-       The pressure (or not) they feel from family or friends to have other children.

-       If either has wavered in the decision to have one child.

-       What they think about only child stereotypes and if it affects their parenting.

We Are The Family Room

We are The Family Room is a podcast for expecting parents and young families to learn, find support, and be real during one of the biggest transitions of your life. Just like our 2 physical locations in Los Angeles, we hope this is a space that makes you feel a little less alone on your parenting journey and a lot like you are doing awesome. From birth to feeding, to newborn care and way beyond, we believe there is not one right way to parent. We provide research-based information, but always want you to trust your gut and do what is best for your family.   In the show,  we bring The Family Room's inclusive guidance and philosophies to a brand new platform, discussing parenting topics you care about  from pregnancy through preschool. In each episode, we will take a deeper dive into a specific parenting topic with a Family Room educator or guest expert to support you on your parenting journey. From infant feeding, identity and relationship shifts, child safety advice, and toddler behavior. Learn more about  postpartum depression and perinatal mood disorders, introducing a sibling, starting solids, and so many more things parents face. Gather the best tips, tricks and advice from The Family Room’s giant support team. Learn from childbirth professionals, international board certified lactation consultants, child development experts, infant specialists, marriage and family therapists, and more. As experts in their own fields, each guest offers specialized guidance with encouragement, compassion and sometimes humor to answer your biggest questions. Included in episodes to normalize aspects of parenthood, you will hear questions and stories from The Family Room community. Real parents sharing real struggles, real victories and everything in between. Listen to inspiring anecdotes, crazy confessions, and memorable moments. These moms and dads provide parenthood truths you won’t find anywhere else.Hosting the podcast is the founder and CEO of The Family Room, Karen Stoteraux. A successful entrepreneur, she has always been passionate about providing support to families, particularly mothers, and creating important connections during one of the biggest transitions of your life. For Karen, supporting children means supporting parents, because children thrive when their parents do. While everyone else is focused on the baby, The Family Room often focuses on you. Being a parent is hard and only talking about the good parts creates a false narrative. Unrealistic expectations and societal pressure can be overwhelming for many parents. Karen aims to normalize many parenting struggles, celebrate your victories, and cheer you on.  The research-based curriculum offered by Karen's organization provides age-appropriate knowledge about raising healthy and happy children through a parent-focused lense. With the help of Karen’s outstanding team of accredited professionals, there’s no better place to receive this kind of training.You are not alone! We are here for you and look forward to sharing all the ups and downs of parenthood through valuable information and a supportive community. Join Karen in her important conversations about one of the best gifts anyone could ever ask for: parenthood.
