Grappling with ambivalence (with Sara Hopkins)

Update: 2019-06-27

Description

Sara Hopkins is ambivalent about having kids. She's decided that she won't have them, but she still struggles with the choice. She wonders why her ambivalence keeps showing up, she wonders what to do about her ticking biological clock, and she wonders whether she might be missing out on "the greatest love of all."

In this wide-ranging conversation, Sara and I talk about ambivalence, loss, friendships, intuition, and creativity.
