Welcome to Rock the Damn Boat — a podcast for women who’ve spent their lives keeping the peace, playing it safe, and putting everyone else first. I’m Christy Hughes — recovering people-pleaser, yoga teacher, and believer in doing the inner work that lets us live with more freedom and truth.
Around here, we talk about the things we’ve been taught to avoid — boundaries, guilt, burnout, self-worth — and how to find your voice again, even when it shakes a little. This is your permission slip to stop apologizing, start speaking up, and trust that rocking the boat might just be how you find your calm.
So take a deep breath, get grounded, and let’s rock the damn boat — together.
In today's episode, we're talking about the 15% minority club of which I'm a member: women without children. I talk about my own path to this ultimate outcome that I have zero regrets about. I also talk about how unfortunate it is when the 1 in 7 women we comprise are judged about how we spend our time, or the freedom we are perceived to have. It is not always by choice.
My hope is that everyone will think twice before uttering the phrase: "you don't have kids".
