Within the span of five years, the world as Jessi Hempel knew it shifted on it’s axis. When exploring the prospect of parenthood, the award-winning journalist and podcast host had to wade through her own fears from her past, the echo chamber of what the world shared a parent should be, and decide how she wanted to move forward. In this show, Jessi shares how she approached writing THE FAMILY OUTING and provides perspective on making the most difficult decisions as a parent - even before you meet your child for the first time.
Content Warning: this episode addresses pregnancy loss and grief. If that doesn’t feel healthy for you, please do what’s best for you in this moment.
