  2. 8

    So... I did not want marriage or kids

    So... it's not that deep

    This week, Claire joins us for a refreshingly honest conversation about choosing a child-free life. We talk about what it really means to reframe the idea of “selfish,” embracing a joyful marriage without kids, and how career goals can evolve into simply wanting a really lovely time. Join us for a candid, insightful chat about freedom, fulfillment, and rewriting the script on what a meaningful life looks like.

    So... it would have been an absolute nightmare

    This week we talk to Leanne about never wanting children, how friendships change when you don't take that life step, mental health, the impact of emetophobia, new hobbies and why cats are enough responsibility.

    So... I can't have kids

    This week we talk to Kate about accepting a child free life, premature ovarian insufficiency diagnosis, parenting narratives, finding your people, rethinking your purpose, and tactless gynaecologists.
