September 27, 2022 Ep 84: Leaving a "Legacy"
On today’s episode we’re discussing the concept of a legacy and what it means for people who are childfree. Parents (men in particular) often claim the need to leave a legacy is their reason for wanting offspring, but there’s no guarantee that legacy will even make a difference after you’re gone.

September 20, 2022 Ep 83: Meet Childfree Guest, Josh
This weeks episode guest is Josh from MN and Josh just recently got a vasectomy! We were so curious about his childfree life and what brought him to make the decision to get snipped. This is great info for everyone who is certain they want to remain childfree and we hope you appreciate his candor. But also, see a doctor for the facts and don't take medical advice from strangers!

August 30, 2022 Ep 80: How to Talk About Being Childfree
Today we discuss how we like to approach talking about our decision (and contemplation) around being childfree. Talking about ourselves and having conversations about life’s choices definitely varies on the individual. How much you want to share or keep to yourself is up to you and while we always want people to be respectful, it can be hard sometimes! Share your story with us [email protected]
