Will I be bored without kids? Rick and I were asked this question at a recent Holiday party. This is a common fear that is placed on childfree people along with the mindset that the only way not to be bored is to have children. We start exploring this topic with each other but also wonder if this fear has crossed your mind too?

In this episode, Rick and I also discuss a recent headline where a childfree woman finds out her husband has 2 secret children. Yikes! We also dive into the polarity that a DINK viral video caused as people defended opposite ends of the spectrum. Not surprisingly, Elon Musk gets involved in this controversy as he continues to blame childfree people for declining birth rates.

We deserve to enjoy the Holiday Season! As childfree people, we have been conditioned to believe that the Holidays are “for the kids”. With all the pronatalism in media and social media during this season, it can be easy for childfree people to brush off the Holidays or feel a bit lost during this time.
 
In this episode, Rick and I discuss the joy of the Holiday Season and the importance of childfree traditions. We share some of our own and a few that we want to start incorporating as of this year.

We appreciate the quiet time, the ability to choose what we want to do and the space for adult fun. We also share a list of Holiday Fun ideas that you can do for the Holidays! 
We hope that this episode motivates you to join in and start your own childfree traditions.

Fear of future regret can be a common emotion in the childfree community. Unless you were 100% certain that you didn’t want kids from day one, your mind can automatically flow into the murky waters of the “what ifs”. 

In this episode, Rick and I dive into the difference between feeling regret about the past and the fear of future regret once a person decides to be childfree. I discuss my experience in speaking to the members of my program “Is Childfree For Me?” and how deeply this fear can affect their mindset.

What causes regret? What can you do about it? What is the one important thing that will help you avoid the fear of regret?

We answer these questions and share examples of other parts of our lives where the fear of regret can set in. We hope that this conversation sparks some introspection for you or motivates you to support a childfree friend who may be stuck in this fear loop.

As childfree people, it's so important to practice gratitude about our lifestyle! In this episode, we discuss the state of the world and how our process is very different from parents. We share gratitude for having the time to focus on our health and wellness and the opportunity to heal ourselves or our relationship. We also welcome the opportunity for self-help and how we can grow as people. 

Once you make it a regular practice, you'll be surprised how many grateful moments will show up for you. If you want to join the gratitude party, kick off your practice with us!

When your friends have kids and you are childfree, it can instantly transform your friendship beyond what you may have imagined. In this episode, Rick and I identify some of the challenges that can arise once your friends begin to have children.

You may realize that choosing a childfree life can mean losing commonality with your friends who become parents. How can you manage those inevitable changes? Should the topic be addressed although it may feel uncomfortable or inappropriate? Should you compromise or just let it go?

When you’re the only childfree person in your circle, it may also feel more isolating as time goes on. (we don’t want you to feel this way!)

Rick and I share our personal stories and share some tips that may help you ease the transition.

It's Veronica's turn as she describes her personal childfree journey and how different areas of her life guided her to this difficult choice. Veronica’s road to choosing childfree was very bumpy and included 10+ years of confusion, doubt and panic. She spent a significant amount of time reflecting, researching and exploring what being childfree would mean to her. Now, she is a proud and confident childfree woman who spends her time helping younger women explore and dissect why they are leaning towards a childfree life but still don’t feel at peace with choosing childfree.
