This was amazing. Also ex-mo here, I'm a few years older than you and did the typical Mormon wife/mom route. It's such a complicated decision even without all the conditioning of our upbringing. I am most certainly projecting here, but I think it's important to remember that both life paths (to have kids or not have kids) are valuable, one is not better than the other. I love you decision to put it out of your mind until the new year. Anyways, thanks for sharing. I loved your editing of the podcast, with the various clips, music, the sped up invasive thoughts. Well done! 👏🏽

Thank you so much for listening! Totally agree both paths are valuable--I just have less examples of what a childless life looks like. But that can be fun, too, to see what can happen. :)

Wow, I loved this. If this was something you enjoyed making, I think you should absolutely keep making more. As a fellow ex-mo, the general conference clips gave me a stomach ache 😂 but they definitely served the storytelling! Thanks for sharing 🙏
