What Was That Like - a storytelling podcast with amazing stories from real people What Was That Like

On this podcast we’ve covered well over 170 crazy true stories, and several of those have been about animal attacks.
I’ve had guests on who have been attacked by a rattlesnake, large dogs, an alligator, a monkey, a grizzly bear, an elephant, yellow jackets, and a shark.
But we’ve never talked to a victim of a tiger attack – until today.
Ironically, John was working in Russia as part of a conservation effort to protect tigers and other wild cats when this happened.
And the only thing he had to protect himself from the lunging tiger was a road flare.

Our story today has to do with making decisions.
As a child, most of the time, life is pretty easy because you don’t have to make any decisions. Everything in your life is decided for you – what clothes you wear each day, where you sleep, what you eat, everything.
But as an adult, all of that changes. You take on responsibilities, and you have to make decisions. What to do for work, who you want to spend the rest of your life with (if anyone), which house to buy – it seems like we spend much of our life trying to make the right choices. And sometimes, that can be really difficult.
My guest today is Laura. She and her husband, Dan, were parents to their little boy, Louie. Then, they found out they were pregnant again – this time, with twins.
And Laura was soon faced with making a decision that she never would have imagined having to make.

Content warning: this episode includes discussion of pregnancy and loss. Listener discretion is advised.

Laura has a friend who creates the Good Grief Podcast – hosted by Kristen Carrier and Sarah Holveck
