Summary

In a previous episode, we talked about the struggles dating can pose when women are thinking about their desire for children and their biological clock, and all the associated anxieties that can come with it.

And we had some incredible and thoughtful responses to what is rightfully a very difficult and emotional topic to discuss (but also an essential one).

In this episode, we take the conversation further and look at the disparity between men and women in future planning, why freezing your eggs and planning fertility can be its own enormous challenge, and how to think about making decisions about the future you want when you haven't met the right person yet.

clock when dating. We had someone write in who was in significant disagreement with me

1:03.2

on some of the things that I said in that episode including the tone that I used in saying

1:08.3

some of those things in that episode. And I thought let's actually have the conversation

1:12.2

here. Let's talk about it. I think that this is going to be a really important episode

1:15.8

for a lot of people. For those of you who are thinking about having children, for those

of you worried that it may never happen for you, I think this is one of the most important

is our final virtual retreat of the year. Don't you want to set up 2023 in the most powerful

1:41.7

way possible? I don't want to be that person who on January 1 is thinking about what their

1:47.0

resolutions should be. That's amateur stuff. I want to be going into 2023 with a vision

1:55.1

for how I'm going to make that year one of my best ever. And that means asking some really
