Having Babies Might Cure Depression | Guest: Dr. Catherine Pakaluk | Ep 1079

Today, we sit down with Dr. Catherine Pakaluk, professor of social research and economic thought, to discuss her book, "Hannah's Children: The Women Quietly Defying the Birth Dearth." We also talk about how having children is one of life's greatest callings for women, despite society's hostility toward mothers and children. What's really behind the falling birth rates, and how do we reverse the trend? Dr. Pakaluk argues that having kids could even potentially be good for combatting depression. And balancing work, life, and having kids may not be as hard as you might think.
