- Two women in their early '30s have a powerful conversation about their reproductive choices: Lizbeth, married, Mexican American and from a Catholic family, is unsure if she wants kids; while AnnMarie, from a Jamaican family for whom having kids is a given, has one young child, and wants more. See how each deals with family and cultural expectations when it comes to having kids.
- Kelsey, a single, bisexual, childfree-by-choice woman from Indiana meets her polar opposite in Cameron, a Mormon father of five living in Brooklyn, to debate difficult topics around child-rearing in a planet with an uneasy future. How does religion and the reality of climate change factor into the choice to have children - and large families? What if that one kid you didn't have could've been the one to save the planet?
- A same-sex couple shares their surrogacy journey and parenting story with Cristino, a 24-year-old gay man who isn't at all sure if he wants kids. Jeff and Tom prod Cristino by asking "would you have kids to save your relationship?" But Jeff also flashes back to his own youth, wondering whether having the full "gay experience" was necessary before settling down into fatherhood. To have or have not, that is the question.
- Tasha, a single 50-year-old woman going through in vitro fertilization (IVF), debates Nikki, a 27-year old mother who got pregnant as a teen-and at the time thought she'd made a huge mistake. Nikki's not gonna lie, she thinks Tasha may be making a mistake, too, emphasizing the energy needed to raise kids. Can you be either "too old" or "too young" to have children? Listen to these ladies hash it out.
- What's it mean to be childfree by choice, compared to ending up childless? Frequently worrying about how his life would be "over" if he had kids, Cameron had panic attacks when he came close to becoming a parent-maybe growing up in a religion that pressures people to start families had something to do with it. Meanwhile, Sarah didn't really want children until her late '30s and then tried unsuccessfully, before finding herself at odds with the fertility industry and a support group. How do we help other childless people find support and communicate to those around them? What is it like to socialize when so many around you have kids?
