I think you have to read the room, you know, and I think maybe there is certain situations where being explicit like that can be an incredible turn on if that's what your potential suitor is looking for as well.

Basically one of the first dates, you know, I've always known I wanted to have kids, so did Katie.

So we're grateful that that wasn't a source of contention for us.

Try to figure out what your values are and check to see if your calendar or how you're spending time is reflective of those values.

Also think that this is one season of your life and you might be choosing to prioritize certain values over others and know that there will be other seasons where you might be able to make different choices.

I think it's a false binary.

I think you can do some of both.

And there are people who try to push off all current enjoyment for some future payoff.

That's a path that I wouldn't recommend.

And there are some people that are only enjoying the moment at the expense of being thoughtful about how they want to grow and live in the future.

And that's also a path I wouldn't recommend.

I think either extreme is dangerous and you can figure out on a day-to-day basis where you sit on that seesaw.

Uncertainty is not a problem to be solved.

It is impossible to live a life without uncertainty.

Rather than trying to rid it from your life, learn how to build a tolerance for it so that you can be more equipped when you face the inevitable uncertainties of life.

Well, in Liz Moody's fashion, I'd say micro-dose uncertainty.

consciously expose yourself to an uncertain situation, whether it is striking up a conversation with a stranger, taking a new route to work, trying a dish from a restaurant that you wouldn't normally order and see how it goes.

When we're able to try uncertainty in some aspects of our life, it makes it easier to tolerate uncertainty in others.

Exactly.

It's called How to Not Know.
