This question was asked by a young man in his 20s one day at Jiu Jitsu. What a simple sentiment… is it hard? Is it hard having a baby? Is it hard coming back after having a baby?

The answer is…

It’s just different.

You’re adjusting to a whole new version of yourself.

And yes, it’s hard.

Listen to this episode for perspective and exploration on this question.
