LET'S KEEP THIS ENERGY GOING! Krystina Arielle and Whitney Warren join this week to talk about The Cut's article, "Why Can't Our Friendship Survive Your Baby?". Not only do we get into sociological stereotypes about motherhood and the changing nature of friendship as we age, but we even manage to squeeze in some Twilight talk.

I'm becoming a single mother by choice using a known donor; I'm so stoked to be having a baby with my gay best friend. After a few tries with the turkey baster in 2023, I turned to IVF in Spring of 2024.
