Annie and Kathryn are thrilled to introduce you to mother and author, Catherine Ruth Pakaluk, on today’s podcast. We know you will be inspired by Catherine’s story of “instant motherhood,” becoming a mom to six (grieving) children on her wedding day. She is now mother to 13 beautiful children, an economics professor at Catholic University of America, and the author of the very important work: Hannah’s Children: The Women Quietly Defying the Birth Dearth. In this longer-than-usual episode, you will hear Catherine’s unique story as we dive into her fascinating work. You will get a glimpse into the discoveries of her groundbreaking research, asking the question: “In a world where more and more women are choosing not to have any children, why do some women choose to have many?” You will be blessed by this book and this conversation; you don’t want to miss it!
