Who Sets This Clock?
Podcast Description
Who Sets This Clock? is a podcast about timelines, external influences, and the often unspoken pressure to follow a life path that includes kids and other milestones. Hosted by Margarete, the show asks: who actually set these clocks we’re all supposed to follow? And are they ticking the same for everyone anymore? You know, just your average existential questions. Through honest, sometimes funny, and often vulnerable conversations, each episode explores life transitions, the choices we make (or don't), and the relationships that shift along the way.

This is a wrap on Season 2! Thanks so much for listening. For this episode, I brought on a very special guest, my very own mother. We focus on the story of how she found out she was pregnant with me. It has some twists and turns! We also get into:
– How her upbringing shaped her early adulthood
– What she wanted to be when she grew up
– The emotions and her mentality around this time
– Generational cycles, repeated patterns, and double standards
– The support systems in place to help her (which included close friends and Planned Parenthood)
