Episode Details

Whether you know you want children, desire to remain child-free, or are completely conflicted, we're going to dig into all the hesitations, fears, and realities of the decision to have kids with Kate Kennedy. We discuss how #momlife culture plays into the perceptions of parenthood, the paradox of being ready later in life, and why it's perfectly OK to be unsure about this major life decision.
