Quirkyalone and childfree (with Sasha Cagen)

In 2004, Sasha Cagen wrote a book called Quirkyalone: A Manifesto for Uncompromising Romantics, based on a term she'd created to describe people who are comfortable being single but who want to be in a relationship and won't settle for something (or someone) that doesn't allow them to be who they truly are.

I first found Quirkyalone probably 10 years ago, and like most people who are drawn to Sasha's book, I felt like someone finally understood me. 

So having Sasha on the show meant a lot  to me. 15 years after publication, Sasha opened up about her perspective on quirkyalone now, and how it relates to choosing to become a mother. We also talk about wisftulness about having children, confronting our fertility expiration date, climate change, and not settling for anything less than what you truly want.
