Summary: I am SO excited to share today’s episode, which is all about the pros and cons of having kids. It came out of an Instagram Q&A where someone asked what Zack and I were doing, and I said we were undecided and then asked people how they decided—and the responses were so fascinating, I knew I had to make it into a podcast. This episode features:<br> <br> * Best-selling author <a href="https://www.meghandaum.com/">Meghan Daum</a> on the choice to remain childfree<br> * <a href="https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/">Ambitious Kitchen</a>’s Monique Volz on birth, and how being a new mom impacts marriage<br> * <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sophie.jaffe/?hl=en">Sophie Jaffe</a> on an unexpected struggle of pregnancy and healing her own childhood through her parenting<br> * Plus, dozens of anonymous comments from listeners about the true realities of parenting AND being childfree<br> <br> I know that i can’t produce a comprehensive episode about a topic this deep and important—as Meghan Daum said in our interview, it’s perhaps the most existential decision we face—but I do think there’s a lot of food for thought here, and a lot for you to discuss with friends, family members, and partners. As I often say, I think a huge part of wellness is being as happy and healthy in all parts of your life, and having kids is a huge part of that, so I can’t wait to have this discussion with you.<br> <br> I can’t wait to hear what your feedback on this episode!
