In this episode, Sarah reflects on her conversation with Maggie Reyes and what it means to be childfree by choice.

When Maggie Reyes got married, she and her husband both assumed that they'd start a family eventually. But every time they checked in with one another, the answer, for both of them, was 'not yet'. Eventually they realized that their marriage would not include children. In this episode Maggie talks about her experience of being child-free and how it has changed her relationships with the people in her life.

Tammy Cannon lives near Seattle, WA with her husband and three teens. In the early days, she was at home with her three children, who were all under the age of three. I wanted to talk to Tammy about the expectations she had for herself as she shifted from working at a job she loved to being at home with three young kids. She talks openly about the little corners of herself that feel like mothering might have gone differently for her in the beginning.

Sarah reflects on Nicole's observation (Episode 3: Guiding a Child's Becoming), what it meant to her growing up, and what it means to her now.

Nicole Gulotta is a writer based in Los Angeles. There's a myth that creative types, writers especially, are solitary creatures with vast amounts of time available to devote to their calling. Most of us need to juggle family and career and life on top of our creative work. Nicole understands this better than most - she writes and promotes her books while raising her young son. And she shares her wisdom about making time for writing by teaching how to 'write in the margins'—in other words, how to make the time for creative work in the small spaces we have in our day. In this episode, Sarah finds out how Nicole makes space for her writing during this season in her life.
