Let’s Talk About It LIVE: Real Women on Work, Motherhood & Being Heard

<description>&lt;p&gt;Kelly (a mum) and Louise (not a mum) tackle having children vs choosing to be childfree responding to a brilliantly funny and dramatic &lt;strong&gt;Substack post by Jameela Jamil called 'I Don't Want Children'.&lt;/strong&gt; Jamella gave her long list of reasons with her usual flair for the dramatic and great humour - truly a woman for these times. Kelly and Louise dissect the list adding their own thoughts, counterpoints and plenty of humour too. If getting into fights for your kids or cleaning poo are stored in your 'things I'd prefer not to do' file then you have found a kindred spirit. This episode explores the big question: &lt;strong&gt;do you actually want children?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kelly also brings in &lt;strong&gt;Google’s reasons for having kids&lt;/strong&gt;, some of which may blow your mind.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Plus, in this week’s &lt;em&gt;What’s Grinding Our Gears&lt;/em&gt;, Kelly and Louise are enjoying a little vent about sky high ticket prices, they've had enough of it and it needs to stop.&amp;nbsp;In the meantime they are trying to make themselves feel better by not buying expensive tickets and instead supporting smaller acts and grassroots venues.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you’re wondering &lt;strong&gt;whether to have kids, thinking about staying childfree, or just enjoy honest conversations about life decisions&lt;/strong&gt;, this episode is for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jameela article - sorry it's behind a paywall but well worth a read &lt;a href="https://jameelajamil.substack.com/p/i-dont-want-children-i-dont-want" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;https://jameelajamil.substack.com/p/i-dont-want-children-i-dont-want&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Phillipa Perry - &lt;a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42348818-the-book-you-wish-your-parents-had-read-and-your-children-will-be-glad" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Get in touch!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Don't forget to send your thoughts or suggestions for the podcast to &lt;a href="mailto:frozenyoureggsyet@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;frozenyoureggsyet@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can sign up to our newsletter:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://mailchi.mp/6363eddb1650/sign-up-newsletter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;https://mailchi.mp/6363eddb1650/sign-up-newsletter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Find us on Insta, Tik Tok and YouTube&lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/frozenyoureggsyet/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&amp;nbsp;@frozenyoureggsyet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'&gt; Hosted on Acast.

Should You Have Kids? The Childfree Debate (inspired by Jameela Jamil) 

<description>&lt;p&gt;AI dating is on the rise and Kelly and Louise are confused.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this &lt;strong&gt;International Women’s Day week&lt;/strong&gt; episode, Louise shares her thoughts on Wuthering Heights and takes inspiration from Winter Olympians Eileen Gu and Alysa Liu when it comes to celebrating your achievements, not apologising, and doing things your own way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, some people clearly missed the memo about not stealing a woman’s limelight. Kelly is perplexed by the &lt;strong&gt;mistimed proposals and declarations from partners of Olympians&lt;/strong&gt; (and even Olympians themselves). She has notes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;From &lt;strong&gt;AI dating trends&lt;/strong&gt; to &lt;strong&gt;Olympian confidence&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;proposal timing disasters&lt;/strong&gt;, Kelly and Louise break down what it means to own your achievements, why support for other women should start locally and why some big romantic gestures should probably wait their turn.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Discussed in this episode;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/family/2026/01/ai-boyfriend-women-gender/685315/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;https://www.theatlantic.com/family/2026/01/ai-boyfriend-women-gender/685315/&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.npr.org/2026/02/14/nx-s1-5711441/ai-chatgpt-openai-love-betrayal-delusion-chatbot" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;https://www.npr.org/2026/02/14/nx-s1-5711441/ai-chatgpt-openai-love-betrayal-delusion-chatbot&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.stylist.co.uk/fitness-health/sport/eileen-gu-olympic-speech/1060595" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;https://www.stylist.co.uk/fitness-health/sport/eileen-gu-olympic-speech/1060595&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/g70408863/olympic-engagements-2026-winter-games/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/g70408863/olympic-engagements-2026-winter-games/&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Get in touch!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Don't forget to send your thoughts or suggestions for the podcast to &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:frozenyoureggsyet@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;frozenyoureggsyet@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You can sign up to our newsletter:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://mailchi.mp/6363eddb1650/sign-up-newsletter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;https://mailchi.mp/6363eddb1650/sign-up-newsletter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Find us on Insta, Tik Tok and YouTube&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/frozenyoureggsyet/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&amp;nbsp;@frozenyoureggsyet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'&gt; Hosted on Acast.

AI dating is on the rise and Kelly and Louise are confused. In this International Women’s Day week episode, Louise shares her thoughts on Wuthering Heights and takes inspiration from Winter Olympians Eileen Gu and Alysa Liu when it comes to celebrating your achievements, not apologising, and doing things your own way. Meanwhile, some people clearly missed the memo about not stealing a woman’s limelight. Kelly is perplexed by the mistimed proposals and declarations from partners of Olympians (and even Olympians themselves). She has notes. From AI dating trends to Olympian confidence and proposal timing disasters, Kelly and Louise break down what it means to own your achievements, why support for other women should start locally and why some big romantic gestures should probably wait their turn.

AI Dating, Olympian Self-Worth & Mistimed Proposals

<description>&lt;p&gt;Who doesn't love a wedding?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join Kelly and Louise as they shoot the breeze around the Oscars and all the amazing women who are trailblazing this year. This leads to a slightly random dissection of the old adage, 'What's for you won't go by you', with differing opinions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;The focus of this episode is in fact weddings.&amp;nbsp;Most of us will, at some point, have been invited to a wedding and in a lot of cases, many, many weddings. Kelly and Louise recount the good, the bad and the ugly they have encountered, whilst agreeing we all love a good day out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;They consider whether it's ever right to not get a 'plus one' invitation, whether kids should be included at these events, what kind of numbers make for a good wedding and how Scottish, Irish and English weddings compare. And, what about the single-penalty? Forking out for others when you may never receive in return?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally they draw on their experiences to see what makes for a bad wedding? Do they exist?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;See us live!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;'Have You Frozen Your Eggs Yet?' is going live!

 Why are weddings so controversial?...and women of the Oscars

<description>&lt;p&gt;WE ARE BACK and Louise has big news.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kelly and Louise deeply regret not having kept the podcast going in January which was Dry (only in the sense of alcohol) and far too long so they kick things off by talking about how 2026 has started for them both, including some ridiculous challenges they may or may not manage (yes they are those people).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;The topic of this episode is the official confirmation that our life markers have changed. In 2026, women are redefining what aging looks like and what you can do when - Kelly and Louise dissect it all. To add to the evidence, there’s discussion of the Kardashians, Kim Gordon, Pamela Anderson and many more. Plus, are millennials the most optimistic?

WE ARE BACK and Louise has big news. Kelly and Louise deeply regret not having kept the podcast going in January which was Dry (only in the sense of alcohol) and far too long so they kick things off by talking about how 2026 has started for them both, including some ridiculous challenges they may or may not manage (yes they are those people).&nbsp; The topic of this episode is the official confirmation that our life markers have changed. In 2026, women are redefining what aging looks like and what you can do when - Kelly and Louise dissect it all. To add to the evidence, there’s discussion of the Kardashians, Kim Gordon, Pamela Anderson and many more. Plus, are millennials the most optimistic? What colour do you identify with in your generation and are you the norm?&nbsp; See us live! 'Have You Frozen Your Eggs Yet?' is going live! We are being hosted by Tribe co-working space in the beautiful Portobello in Edinburgh to celebrate International Women's Day.
