    To be or not to be a parent
    Could you see your life just as easily with children as without? What if you're not cut out for parenthood? What if you grow lonely in your old age? Or what if you have a loving partner, but you disagree on this choice? Deciding between parenthood and a child-free life requires clarity about your fears and deepest desires — no easy task. This episode, psychotherapist and author of the book, The Baby Decision, Merle Bombardieri, helps us get clear. She discusses minimizing regret, normalizing feeling 'stuck' and why waiting to have a baby at 38 may be best. Want more about the decision to have kids? Many women don't want kids.

    The safety and power of knowing your neighbors
    Do you know how to connect with your neighbors?According to Pew, the share of Americans who know and trust their neighbors is on the decline.

So how can you get to know your neighbors – and what’s standing in the way?TED Radio Hour producer Katie Monteleone tells Brittany how she built her neighbor community brick by brick – and Brittany hears from experts on why good fences can sometimes make bad neighbors.(00:00) Why Americans know and trust their neighbors less(01:28) How do you get out of isolation?(04:18) Good fences make bad neighbors(06:01) The space between us and our neighbors(10:44) Building neighborly relationships brick by brick(16:13) Can microgrants bring neighbors together?(18:25) Safety, support, and communal problem-solving(24:37) Addressing segregation and building cross-class bonds(30:38) Recovering hospitality and embracing shared destinyFor more episodes on creating better connections in our lives, check out:Boundaries, bodies, and better sexThe joy of breaking up with dating appsHow to make friends & get good gossipSupport Public Media.
