This week on ShrinkChicks, we cover one of our most requested topics: Emmalee interviews Jen about her decision to be childfree. She asks Jen all of your questions including how she knew she didn't want kids, the way she brought it up to her now husband, the initial reactions of her family, in-laws and friends, and how she plans to handle things when she's elderly. They discuss why having doubts is okay and inevitable, the fear of regret, society's expectations of women, and the different stories of shaming Jen has received over the years. Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!
