Episodes
In our last episode of the season, we chat with Hannah about growing up in the Middle East, climate change, biological clocks, finding fulfilment in nature and how to perfect the journey from maiden to crone.
We talk to Nancy about choosing an independent life, travelling solo, having a low threshold for annoying children, and why being child free isn’t always an advantage at work.
We talk to Luna about not wanting children, the familiar 'what about when you're older?' question, finding a partner that understands that, the impact of grief, intergenerational trauma, and not having to be a CEO when you choose a child free life.
This week, Claire joins us for a refreshingly honest conversation about choosing a child-free life. We talk about what it really means to reframe the idea of “selfish,” embracing a joyful marriage without kids, and how career goals can evolve into simply wanting a really lovely time. Join us for a candid, insightful chat about freedom, fulfillment, and rewriting the script on what a meaningful life looks like.
In this episode, we’re joined by the brilliant Kate. From the unexpected impact of sex education to the beauty of chosen family in the LGBTQ+ community, Kate dives into how our early experiences shape our identity. We explore sexuality, adoption, pet parenting, and how women's child free experience has evolved over time.
This week we talk to Sophie about the circumstances that led to her child free life. Subjects raised include relationship choices, addiction and recovery, the cost of living, creativity, maturity, moving country, raving sober, and why friends are our real soulmates.
This week we talk to Sami about how our childhoods impact our relationships, being more than a mother, the state of modern men, grieving not having children, and ultimately choosing to be fucking fabulous.
This week we talk to Leanne about never wanting children, how friendships change when you don't take that life step, mental health, the impact of emetophobia, new hobbies and why cats are enough responsibility.
This week we talk to Kate about accepting a child free life, premature ovarian insufficiency diagnosis, parenting narratives, finding your people, rethinking your purpose, and tactless gynaecologists.
