What We Want vs. What Others Expect From Us

Ever wonder when is the right time to bring up major life decisions with someone you're dating? Or why some people just can't stand leftovers? This episode dives into the everyday and the profound as we catch up on our week and explore topics that matter. The conversation shifts as we share books that have mirrored our own life experiences - from a novel featuring a plus-size protagonist navigating dating challenges to Dawn Staley's "Uncommon Favor" and its message about breaking barriers while maintaining faith.

The heart of this episode emerges when we tackle reproductive choices and bodily autonomy. We explore the complex dynamics of medical paternalism, societal expectations about parenthood, and the importance of respecting individual decisions about having child.
