  1. Number 1: 23. Marisa Moon on prioritizing your health

    Today I am honored to sit down with Marisa Moon, a national board-certified health and wellness coach and author of the Amazon bestseller book Not So Fast. Growing up surrounded by her large Italian family, Marisa always assumed she wanted to have children...until she realized that she didn't. We discuss how her ADHD diagnosis played a role in her decision, what it was like coming to terms with the choice in her late 20s, and why she's now drawn to coaching to mothers as a primal health coach. Check out all the many, many things that Marisa is up to in the wellness space!Not So Fast: The Smarter, More Gradual Approach to Intermittent Fasting Benefits That LastThe Not So Fast podcast (coming soon!)

  2. Number 2: 22. Anish on taking fate into your own hands

    Today I sit down with Anish to discuss his decision to get a vasectomy as a single man at the age of 31. Together we debunk some common myths about the procedure, the factors that went into his decision, and the impact it's had on his life (hint: it's been positive). I'm so honored that Anish was willing to come on the show to talk about this extremely private decision and encourage anyone who might be interested in the procedure to speak with a professional about what it entails.

  3. Number 3: 21. Sarah Patel on loving your child but regretting motherhood

    Today I sit down with Sarah Patel, a woman who knew she didn't want to have childfren but doubted her choice when no one else around her felt the same way. Sarah is the mother of a thriving 6-year old who she loves deeply, and yet she can clearly recognize that the love for her child does not come with a love of parenting. She and I discuss her journey to choosing to have a child, the impact of childbearing in an overpoulated world, and the courage to honor one's truth amidst the clamor of cultural expectations.

  4. Number 4: 20. Shweta Ramkumar on breaking free from conformity

    Join me as I sit down with Shweta Ramkumar, a proud anti-natalist and passionate childfree woman who advocates for the childfree choice around the globe. We discuss her upbringing in a culture where a woman's value is often tied to her role as a wife and mother, and Shweta offers insights into her experiences, the support she has received from her family, and her relentless advocacy work. She also sheds light on the harsh realities faced by many Southern Asian women who dare to deviate from the prescribed path, and how her early childhood experience in India has shaped her pro-natalist views.

  5. Number 5: 19. Amanda Lane on being the fun, van-dwelling aunt

    It was a blast from the past to sit down with my friend and former co-worker Amanda Lane. Join us as we reminisce about dating apps, discuss her decision to embrace van life, examine the ecological merits of not having children, and question why the American dream of buying a house is even necessary. Amanda's story is a testament to living life on her own terms and never succumbing to societal expectations. It was such a treat to reconnect with an old friend over a newfound affinity - I hope you love her story as much as I do!
