If you've ever been to a wedding, surely you have experienced how kids can make an impact. This week Daliyce reads a reddit topic about making the choice to have a Childfree wedding, and what drama that might bring. We'd love to hear your experiences of either side of the coin: how great a Childfree wedding was, or how one little punk ruined the day. Maybe you eloped to avoid the whole situation!

Carbon footprint. Greenhouse gas emissions. Global warming. What do these have to do with Childfree people? We all have varying reasons for our choice to be childfree, and Climate Change is one we've heard from a lot of people. This week we dive into some facts, stats, and opinions on how adding more children to the world affects the climate. We're no experts but we did some research and learned a lot about science and the way humans are changing the world. Tell us your reason for being Childfree @claimingzero

SPOILER ALERT: This week we're chatting about the representation of Childfree characters on  TV  (and some movies). From Grey's Anatomy to Sex and the City, we'll talk about how we see ourselves represented on screen. While it took some digging, we found a few good ones and a few not so good ones.

On this week's episode we have the joy of talking to a  Childfree teacher who loves her job and doesn't hate kids! Jessica has been teaching for over 30 years and is definitely the cool teacher you always wish you had in high school. We're honored to get the hilarious wise words of a woman over 50 who has always known she didn't want to have children, but always knew she wanted to be a teacher. Check out her relatable TikToks @myteacherface and tell us your thoughts on people who work with kids, that don't have any of their own @claimingzero

Some of the greatest moments in history are all because a woman was doing something incredible! This week's episode will start with the first and only queen of Hawaii who lived and died for her people and her culture, even if that meant adopting 3 kids. Then we'll get into the impressive life of a singer with over 180 awards and a loser of her own look-alike contest. Tell us about your favorite Childfree women @claimingzero and [email protected]

One big benefit of being Childfree is the freedom to do what you want, when you want and for many people, this involves traveling. Unless you've discovered Paradise, you're probably going to see/hear/experience kids around you while on your travels. This week our conversation is  guided by a Reddit post that got us thinking about our own experiences and how different they are from each other! Shoutout to the Reddit communities r/childfree, r/fencesitter, r/truechildfree for always making us feel less alone.
