What if everything culture tells you about the "right time" to have a baby is wrong? This week, Libby Emmons sits down with Rachel Reeves — political commentator, writer, and mom of four — to talk about what our culture gets wrong about motherhood, fertility, and the so-called perfect timeline for women's lives.

Rachel had her fourth daughter at 42, and she's not here to apologize for it. She opens up about the shocking questions her doctors asked her during that pregnancy, the pressure women face to follow a prescribed life script — college, career, then maybe kids — and why she believes releasing control opened her family up to unexpected joy.
