For those outside of the religious community, don't skip this one; there's something for everyone! Feel free to reach out in response by emailing [email protected]

Have you ever wondered who paints all of those beautiful floral paintings hanging in the doctors office? Well it wasn't our Childfree woman in history, Georgia O'Keeffe! Her art, and her life, are a bit more unique than that. Our Childfree woman of the present is the wonderful Congresswoman for NY-14, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

This week Vanessa has chosen a Reddit topic from r/fencesitters and we'll discuss our thoughts on whether working with kids has had an affect on our choices to be Childfree. We'll also dive into some comments about whether Childfree people can still be good caretakers, and how strange it is to think that people have grown up without being around kids very much!

We never know which two women we're going to pair together for our episodes on the Childfree women of past and present. This week we couldn't have picked two women less alike yet still similar on some levels. A bit lengthier than some of our episodes, this one takes a deep dive into the long life of Mother Teresa and the captivating story (so far) of Margaret Cho. Let us know your fave CF women @claimingzero and [email protected]

It's been over a year since many people have stopped going into the office and started using Zoom for everything from work and school, to happy hour and fitness classes. For those using Zoom for work, where is the line between keeping it professional and letting your personal life distract from the job? This week we take on a Reddit post from r/Childfree and discuss the difference between "It's ok, I understand" and "Please mute and turn off your camera". DM us your thoughts on Instagram @claimingzero or email [email protected]
