Takeover episode about childless perspective and was mentioned in episode number # 106 and 107 https://not-a-momma-life-a-pod.captivate.fm (listen here)

Civilla Morgan created The Childless not by Choice podcast was founded in July 2015. I searched for help at the most vulnerable time in my life, but could not find that help, so I created it.

I knew I could not be the only one trying to navigate the journey through childlessness.

Over the last six years the Childless not by Choice podcast has been through several metamorphosis, each change making the platform even better. Which of course is always the goal. The end goal of course is to speak to and encourage the childless not by choice demographic.

https://www.civillamorgan.com (Here is more about Civilla. )

https://childlessnotbychoice.net/category/podcast/ (Here is more about her podcast )

I hope you enjoyed Civilla's episode.

My goal was to educate, enlighten and expand your childfree perspectives.

Of course, this podcast wouldn't be the same without your continued feedback, you can help with answer a few brief questions. https://raphaele.responsesuite.com/q/namlpodfeedback (Here it is. )

How can you support the podcast? Of course rate, review, and share. But there is another way! https://www.notamommalife.com/support/ (Check it out here). Are you a childfree man(identify as one)? I need your HELP.

Needles in haystacks. Frustrating searches. Where have all the childfree content gone, or where is it?

NOT a best choice of songs since it's clearly about having children - silly me.

Searching for childfree content is like dodging dead virus filled inter webs. I seriously came across a page not that old, 2019 and all links we dead or very virus like. WTF!

PLEASE head over in Instagram and share with me @notamomma !

ROLL CALL please share this episode with your favorites that are childfree writers, bloggers, on Medium, on LinkedIn and where ever.

I thought about this decision for quite some time, wondering if anyone will want another audio feed, and another audio feed from me.

The NEW audionews will be short bits, the MOST important part is that you, we will all be able to comment, interact and engage with each other. (NOT for Android so sorry)

When will audionews be published? Well, whenever I have something to share.

What will be published on audionews ? Anything, everything and MOST of all exclusive stuff like mini episodes and private events.

Here is the link for https://www.flowjin.com/flow/PjyjyxroWKuoiycyNu6K8p (NEW audionews)

AS for the NEW - Here is the link for https://newpod.heyraphie.com (NEW biz podcast)
