The 2nd Pros & Cons of Having Kids Episode: Pooping During Labor, The REAL Cost + Sex & Body Image After Birth

I am SO excited to share today’s episode, which is our second episode all 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:

TikTok stars Leanne and Allison from Thirsty On Main on what no one tells you about sperm donation, infertility struggles, deciding what religion to raise kids, and body image & sex after birth
Dr. Kiarra King, OB-GYN on the one thing women can do that grosses her out, raising an only child, Black maternal mortality, and pooping during labor
Plus, dozens of anonymous comments from listeners about the true realities of parenting AND being childfree

Obviously, this is a huge and complex topic, and we’re just scratching the surface here. I can’t wait to continue to have this incredibly important discussion with you!
