Dating with a Deadline: From First Date to Pregnancy in a Year with Louisa Lau

What if you knew you wanted a family, and just went for it?

This week I’m joined by the brilliant Louisa Lau, a Creative Director who was living the East London creative life - navigating career highs, less-than-ideal long-term partners, and artistic exploration - until she found herself 36, single, and certain she wanted a child.

We talk about dating with intention, asking the big questions early, and managing the quiet panic that comes with late-stage fertility pressure. From being told she had a 10% chance of success freezing her eggs, to conceiving naturally at 37, Louisa’s story is proof that knowing what you want - and saying it out loud - can change everything.

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s OK to bring up babies on a date, or felt like time is running out—it’s not. And this one’s for you.
