Please enjoy these samples from the year that has been the Other Than Motherhood schedule! I hope these little soundbites provide you with some wisdom this holiday season. The sections are taken from the guests from the below episodes, in the following order:

1. Instead with Maria Coffey
2. The 4-8 Scale with Childfree Millennial 
3. Learned Wisdom with Marcia Drut-Davis
4. Donating My Eggs with Charlotte Holmes

In this week's episode, we are unpacking the often-used accusation that childfree people (particularly women) are somehow 'selfish' for not wanting children of their own. I am visited by Kylie-Ann - the Relationship with Yourself Coach, who has a lot of fascinating insights into the fallacy.

New episode, new stories. This week, I'm proud to bring you Rene, Kay and Lisa to share their childfree journeys. The spectrum of what it means to be childfree broadens with every personal story I hear. I hope you smile, I hope you feel inspired, I hope you slap your forehead in recognition, just as I have (many times)!

We're back after the summer hiatus and this week I'm joined by Meghan Kallman and Josephine Ferorelli, the two halves of Conceivable Future (https://www.conceivablefuture.org) to talk about the intersection between the climate crisis and family planning. Learn about taking collective action, the Big Yes and the Big No and how parents and non-parents alike have a lot in common when it comes to saving the planet...

Writer Nicole Louie visits the podcast this week to talk about the 14 years that went into the making of her newly released book, 'Others Like Me'.

Wanting to explore her own feelings about having children, Nicole scoured the world to find women with stories to tell about their own experiences of lives without children. This book is a fascinating read and you can listen to this episode to hear Nicole's talk first-hand about the bringing together of these stories.
