Choosing
Julie is in her mid-30s and she's single. But she's pretty sure she wants to have kids. While she contemplates what to do next (Should she freeze her eggs and wait for the perfect partner? Should she become a single parent by choice?), she starts asking people about all of the various ways that they've become parents.
This isn't a podcast about parenthood. It's a podcast about the choices we make along the path to parenthood. Hosted and produced by Julie Censullo.
