Having kids is no longer just a biological conversation… it’s an economic, emotional, philosophical, and existential one.

Today, we’re joined by comedians, writers, and podcast hosts Natasha Leggero and Sabrina Jalees from the ‘Good Enough’ podcast for one of the funniest (and most honest) conversations on the economics of parenting. From egg freezing and IVF, to breaking perfectionism, to parenting identities, to poop tracking (?), we discuss the hidden realities behind one of the most important decisions in life besides choosing your partner: the decision to become a parent.

Tune in for lessons on:

✅ Egg freezing, IVF, and fertility timelines

✅ Why more women are having children in their 40s than in their teens

✅ The emotional and financial realities of raising kids

✅ How to know if someone will actually make a good parent

✅ Debunking pregnancy fears and the pressure to “do motherhood correctly”

✅ The hidden joy, meaning, and identity shifts that come with raising children

✅ “Good enough” parenting

This episode is chaotic, hilarious, emotional, and the conversation women are having privately… but rarely publicly.
