The decision to have kids is one of the biggest ones we’ll ever make. Last year Laura opened up about this decision, weighing up what it would mean to her career and her identity, what scares her about having kids, and her fear of leaving it too long. We know this is a question on so many people’s minds, which is why we want to create a podcast miniseries asking the questions we can’t find anywhere else.

In today’s special episode, Laura is back on KICBUMP to share her plans for a new miniseries exploring the decision to have kids from multiple perspectives, from people who didn’t want kids and had them, to people who did want kids and never had them, how they decided and how they feel about it now.

And we want to hear from you: what do you want to hear in the miniseries? Who do you want to hear from? What’s holding you back? What pushed you to make a decision?
