In today's episode, my friend and colleague Amya Pinka joins me to discuss being undecided about whether she wants to have children in the future. We discuss the various factors that are going into her decision - like having a little brother who is 20 years younger than her, the desire to travel freely and see the world, as well as her foray into being a COVID dog parent.

Amya is fiercely defiant of taking the traditional road and remains refreshingly unswayed by the masses. We had such a fun conversation and I'm hoping I can speak to her again as she evolves in her journey. 

The book I reference is called Regretting Motherhood: A Study by sociologist Orna Donath. 

*Please note: I mention the zika virus in relation to a trip to Africa, but that was incorrect; the topic between my mother and I came up in 2015 when we traveled to the U.S. Virgin Islands.
