Resolve activist and fertility advocate Brooke Kingston shares the rewards of living child-free - and giving your dogs their own living room. Sam and Brooke talk openly about the possibilities for happiness and self-empowerment when choosing to live child-free after infertility, or "child-free not by choice." Baby showers, pregnant sisters and sibling rivalry, women's rights, IVF and infertility support, marital issues, march on Washington, RESOLVE's advocacy day and the rewards of being an aunt are all discussed with candor, love and humor in this intimate conversation about the one family alternative that's rarely given its due – or should we say, "duo."
