The COVID19 pandemic has affected the way we live our lives, and look at our futures, in some unexpected ways.

The Age journalist Wendy Tuohy has reported that fertility specialists have seen a sharp increase in the number of women wanting to freeze their eggs, hoping to buy themselves some insurance on having a baby in the future.

Of course a stash of frozen eggs is no guarantee of motherhood.

On this episode of Please Explain, senior reporter from The Age Wendy Tuohy joins Tory Maguire to discuss how the pandemic has shifted the life priorities of a cohort of young women.
