Kids Or No Kids? Sharing My Choice And ALL The Reasons Behind It

The Liz Moody Podcast

The most personal pros & cons of having kids episode yet: mine and Zack’s! Realistically, how do you go about making a decision that you know will change your life? Zack and I walk through our decision on whether or not we will be having children and all of the research, data, and conversations with experts and friends that went into it.

Lots of factors play into the decision to have children, from work-life balance to financial strain, not to mention concerns about whether you would enjoy parenting itself in practice. Ultimately, while data and research can help us make informed decisions, they cannot make our decisions for us. We had to make this decision for ourselves knowing that there is no true wrong or right choice.
