Deciding Whether Or Not We Want Kids Jul 11, 2022

Show notes

This week Delanie, Kelsey, (and Taylor!!!) discuss their decision, and indecision, around having children. They share how they used to feel about this topic 5 years ago when they first started the podcast vs. how they feel now, what experiences and exercises have helped them become more decisive about kids, the variety of FOMO they have, and sooo much more. This is not an episode about the pros and cons of having kids or the selfishness vs. selflessness of either decision. It’s a very honest conversation among women and friends who want the best for each other, and who want to give other people the permission to feel empowered in their own choices. *** If you want children but are struggling to become a parent in one way or another, this episode might not be for you. Our heart goes out to you.
