Summary
In this episode, we ask WAIT WHY DID WE HAVE KIDS and other forbidden questions that would make trad wives shit themselves. Just kidding, but we do talk about the existential dread of child-rearing through climate crises, parenting post-Oct 2023, maternal mental health, birth trauma (tw), and chosen family.
