Summary

*DISCLAIMER* we recognise its a privilege to have the option to conceive but our goal on this pod is to try and address the underrepresented side of these discussions too. Our opinions are constantly in flux but these are our views right now.

In this episode we talk about announcement culture, how we feel about marriage and whether or not we want to have kids. We dig deep into the why, it even gets a bit existential at one point, and it’s safe to say we don’t hold back.

We also speak to our close friend who is currently pregnant with her first child!

This episode is best served with wine + an open mind.

whether that meant I'm laughing out loud on the train with people staring at me or I'm
