In this episode, Keltie speaks with colleague, Sina Scheithauer, about her experience being on the fence about kids; how she made her childfree decision; and her work as a coach helping women with the "kid question" in Germany, and beyond. The two of them discuss:

  • The complexities of the Kids or Childfree decision, including societal expectations surrounding motherhood.
  • How Sina's personal experience grappling with this choice led her to support others in similar situations.
  • The idealization of motherhood and the pressures women feel to conform to traditional roles, plus, the undervaluation of motherhood in society.
  • The implications of freezing eggs as a means to buy time.
  • Why living a life aligned with personal values is crucial.
  • Ethical dilemmas related to climate change and the Kids or Childfree choice.
