• Nicole's experience of not wanting to become a mother from a young age and the challenges she faced in navigating societal expectations.
• The importance of turning up the volume on one's own voice and inner knowledge when making the decision to be childfree.
• The inspiration behind Others Like Me, and how it's fourteen stories highlight the diversity of experiences and perspectives within the childfree community.
• The complexities of the decision to have children or remain childfree.
• The need for inclusivity and understanding among women without children, and the dangers of imposing labels and categories on others.
• How intergenerational connections between women without children of different ages can provide support, wisdom, and inspiration.

(40:49) Identity beyond mother vs. childfree woman

As mentioned in the show: Get a ticket to join our upcoming Confidently Childfree Book Club where we'll be joined by Nicole for a discussion and Q&A about Others Like Me: https://www.kidsorchildfree.com/confidently-childfree-support-series Find Nicole on Instagram: instagram.com/bynicolelouie And on Twitter: twitter.com/bynicolelouie Read Nicole's book, Others Like Me: The Lives of Women Without Children. About Nicole: Nicole Louie is a writer and translator based in Ireland. A former content strategist and creative writer for virtual assistants, she holds a BA in advertising and postgraduate diplomas in literature and translation. When not writing, she is reading about the lives of women without children. Her essays have appeared in Oh Reader and Childfree Magazine and her curated collections of books, movies, and podcasts about women who are not mothers by choice, infertility, circumstance or ambivalence can be found on Twitter and Instagram: @bynicolelouie. Others Like Me: The Lives of Women Without Children is her first book. About Others Like Me: Others Like Me: The Lives of Women Without Children by Nicole Louie (published by Dialogue Books in the UK in June & House of Anansi in North America). A deeply personal exploration of childless and childfree women in their own words. Others Like Me is the story of fourteen women around the world, from different walks of life, who don't have children. It's also the story of why Nicole Louie had to find them and what they taught her. Part memoir, part exploration of childlessness through candid conversations, this book showcases the many ways in which people find fulfillment outside of parenthood. And because the social expectation to procreate weighs the most on women, Louie focuses solely on them, their experiences, and how they flourish outside of motherhood. In doing so, she upends the stereotypes that diminish women who are not mothers and offers reassurance and companionship on a path less known. — Join an upcoming Kids or Childfree Workshop here: kidsorchildfree.com/workshop Check out our free resources here, or at kidsorchildfree.com/free-resources And don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review The Kids or Childfree Podcast if you love what you're hearing!

Keltie is speaking with childfree trailblazer, Marcia Drut-Davis, about the ups and downs of her life without children. They discuss...

• Marcia's public "coming out" of her childfree choice on the national TV show "60 Minutes" in 1974 — and the backlash that came with it.
• The stigma surrounding the childfree choice and the emotional toll it can take on those who choose it.
• Marcia's friendships with moms — and what has been key to these relationships surviving the different seasons of parenthood.
• The importance of young people in her life — and how you can cultivate intergenerational relationships.
• The profound beauty that can be found in life's simple, and seemingly insignificant moments, and how these can be a source of immense joy.
• Live as an 83-year-old childfree woman

ABOUT MARCIA

Marcia Drut-Davis is an American author, speaker, and longtime pioneer of the childfree-by-choice movement who first gained national attention in 1974 when she publicly explained on 60 Minutes why she and her then-husband didn't want children, a decision that cost her teaching job and led to intense backlash. She went on to lead the first chapter of the National Organization for Non-Parents, write influential books including Confessions of a Childfree Woman and What?! You Don't Want Children?, and help normalize childfree lifestyles. In recognition of her impact, she received a Lifetime Childfree Contribution Award and continues to be celebrated as a mentor and advocate for choice and acceptance of voluntary non-parenthood.

We're kicking off Season 7 of the podcast with financial experts and co-authors of the book "Money Together," Heather and Douglas Boneparth.

This conversation explores:

- The often-overlooked financial considerations that come with the decision to have children.

- Douglas and Heather's own financial hurdles when they first considered parenthood, including over $300,000 in student loan debt.

- Why emotional readiness can often take precedence over financial calculations — even when "the math doesn't math".

- The critical conversations you and your partner need to be having before having kids.

- Why "contribution" goes far beyond the financial, and how to navigate the topic of contribution when one or both parents steps away from or back from paid work to raise children.
