Maybe Someday

Jennifer Rogers never felt that ticking biological clock. So she and her husband (who also doesn't want kids) decided to focus their love on their four rescue dogs, their nieces and nephews, and their friends' kids. On this episode, she shares a lot of hard-won wisdom about what it's like to step outside of the mainstream, what it's like to challenge the belief of "that's just the way things are" and really stop to think for a minute about what you want and why you want it.
