What’s it really like growing up in a big family?
Lately, I’ve noticed how often large families are portrayed negatively in media—treated like a punchline, a red flag, or a cautionary tale. I’ve been fascinated by families like the Duggars and the Bates—not always agreeing with everything, but deeply curious about what life in a big family is actually like behind the scenes.
Meeting Maria changed everything. She’s one of many siblings and loves where she came from. In this conversation, she opened my eyes to the beauty, chaos, community, and spiritual richness that can come from growing up in a big family. We talk about everything from 15-passenger vans and buddy systems to childhood memories, cross-generational connection, healing from trauma, and what it means to live out your values—even when it’s inconvenient.
If you came from a big family, are raising one, or are just curious about the reality beyond the headlines, this one is for you.
