One of the big reasons for this podcast is to foster community for people who are childfree and fencesitters. In today’s episode, we’re sharing our experiences in meeting childfree people in the real world and how to find people in your local communities! While we encourage you to go out and meet new friends, we remind you to be safe and trust yourself when meeting people from the internet.

Today Daliyce is sharing the life and mostly unknown legacy of Maurine Dallas Watkins. She had a passion for writing and spent 8 months writing for the Chicago Tribune that included covering some sensational murder trials. Little did she know this would inspire a play, a few movies, and a broadway musical! This is also a story of how you really can't control your legacy after you're gone.

On today's episode, Vanessa is sharing a Reddit post from r/Fencesitters. The topic has us talking about the regret some fencesitters may face after spending so much time on the fence, sitting with their indecision and what happens/how you feel when you finally “decide”. Surprisingly, we're also discussing why being 70 isn't really that old!

Today we’re talking about all the extra time Childfree people have in their lives! Or maybe that's another misconception about us and we don’t actually have any time because we’ve filled it doing things that bring us joy or hobbies or volunteering. However you choose to spend your time in this world living as a Childfree person is up to you and we hope it’s glorious!
