Host Jaimie sits down with Kay Anderson, host of the Lost Spaces podcast, for a candid discussion about the complexities of queer family planning, nature vs nurture, and the individual choice to have children. The conversational journey offers a deep dive into not only Kay's personal musings regarding family and parenting but also the diverse ways queer individuals approach these life choices.
