Episode 31: Tick tock, biological clock, and other tangential topics (Part 1)
Sim wanted to talk about biological clocks this week - is it a female-centric thing? Do only women have this? Do all women feel it ticking and what do they do about it? Sim once wanted a huge family and is now unsure. Shiv likes children but they were never really part of her roadmap. And to make sure they try and understand different perspectives - they brought in Tas, a 43-year-old sassy mom of 2 and a healthcare professional who juggles the duties of motherhood with the responsibilities of her job.
Together, the trio touch on the different aspects of this biological clock - how did it influence their life decisions? Did age have a role to play in their decision to either have/not have children? How did it impact their career progression? And along the way, there is mention of climate change, being scared of birth, and how society dictates that people talk/feel about having children.
