Don't kid yourself
Jun 24, 201800:16:55Tap to summarizeNot having kids is a legitimate option in life, but you wouldn't know it sometimes. Laura explores why ideas are like toothbrushes: everyone needs one, everyone has one, and nobody wants to use anyone else's. I reference the writer Dan Ariely.

Choose it or lose it
Apr 29, 201800:18:07Tap to summarizeSome choices are harder than others. My mum tells me about a life choice that (probably) led to my very existence. I also chat to my friend JB who, at the tender age of 26, has already been married and divorced. What a difference a choice makes.
