S2, Ep. 1: Keltie Maguire on being a childfree dog mom

I’m kicking off Season 2 with a discussion about being a child-free dog mom. How does having a dog — and especially a puppy — help us frame our ideas about motherhood? For me, it’s been a tough few months with my new puppy Annie, and I’ve thought a lot about how she compares with a baby and why I chose one over the other. The perfect person to kick off this conversation is Keltie Maguire, a clarity coach who helps women decide whether motherhood or a childfree path is for them. She is also the host of The Kids or Childfree Podcast, where she features the stories of people with and without kids, in order to bring new perspectives and insights to those who are on the fence about parenthood. Originally from Vancouver, Canada, Keltie lives in Munich, Germany, with her husband, Chris, and their dog, Shira.Learn more about Keltie and her coaching services here. This is a public episode.
