We're kicking off Season 5 of the podcast, with a conversation with Anne Wennhold — a 90-year-old childfree by choice woman who supports elders interested in continuing to grow as human and spiritual beings. Hear Keltie and Anne discuss:

• How Anne's upbringing and early life experiences culminated in her choice not to have kids.
• How Anne contends with being an "outsider" among parents and grandparents.
• Anne's experience navigating difficult emotions as a childfree person — and how you can manage painful emotions that arise around this decision. 
• Loneliness in old age – and why having kids won't make you immune to it.
• Whether Anne regrets her decision not to have kids. 
• Anne's advice to anyone on the fence about kids.  ...and so much more!

As mentioned in the show: If you want to email Anne, just drop me a DM at @kidsorchildfree and I'll connect you. 

About Anne: Here's Anne in her words: "I live alone in northern New Jersey. I was widowed at an early age, have no children by choice. My chosen family is scattered about the USA and available by phone and Zoom. At 90 years old, I am focused on working with elders who are interested in continuing to grow as human and spiritual beings, and sharing with them all aspects of living to an older age including having children or not." __ Join our upcoming Confidently Childfree Coaching Intensive: kidsorchildfree.com/confidently-childfree-support-series Check out our free resources here, or at kidsorchildfree.com/free-resources And don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and review The Kids or Childfree Podcast if you love what you’re hearing!
