Her high energy and creative videos have helped her draw a great following on her YouTube channel and her Instagram in just a year of content creation! Definitely give her a follow @childfreemillenial and remember, you are not alone!

November 09, 2021 Ep 41: Reasons to be Childfree - Money
To say that children cost a lot of money is an understatement! This week Daliyce and Vanessa break it all down. From childbirth, to child care, and into the college years it's not something you can avoid as a parent. Some think Childfree people have loads of money since they don't have to spend it on kids, but not all of us are living the lifestyle of the rich and famous. Drop a message in our DM's and let us know how you like to spend your "extra" childfree money @claimingzero or send us an email at [email protected]

November 02, 2021 Ep 40: Meet Childfree Couple, Aimee and Brandon
On today's episode we get the opportunity to hear from a Childfree couple! Aimee and Brandon haven't always been on the same page about whether or not to have kids. Aimee dreamed of the fairy tale life and checking all the boxes, but over time she started to consider other options. Brandon has never felt the need to have kids, but never pressured Aimee in her choice. While the couple currently resides in Texas, the Air Force has had them living all over the country and they're so happy to have their lives exactly as they are right now.

October 26, 2021 Ep 39: HimStory: Bob Barker and Milton Hershey
This week we decided to give you another Himstory episode and this one doesn’t disappoint. Bob Barker is a controversial man who taught us not all Childfree people are great, but gave us that beloved game show and taught us to love animals. Milton Hershey showed us what a Childfree person can do to leave a (very tasty) legacy long after they’re gone. Tell us your thoughts and be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

October 19, 2021 Ep 38: Fence-Sitters, According to Reddit
It’s another post submission from Reddit! This week Daliyce convinces Vanessa why she should hop off that fence and commit, to not committing to having kids! HAHA just kidding! Vanessa reads a Reddit post from someone wanting to know what convinced people to swing toward the choice to live Childfree instead of trying to have babies. There are lots of reasons, and some sound more convincing than others.

Summer time means sunshine, long days, vacations and an influx of kids! For parents, summer break is defined solely by the school system, but when you’re Childfree things are a little different. This week Vanessa and Daliyce catch you up on how their Hot Girl Summer went and what fun those family vacations were.
