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.
If this episode resonates with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
