So...What happens next?
by Alicia Walker
So What Happens Next? is a podcast for people living child free, or questioning what that choice means for them. It’s about the conversations that happen when your life doesn’t follow the usual script. The freedom, the pressure, the grief, the joy, and everything in between. Through honest stories and real talk, I explore identity, relationships, purpose, and what it means to build a life that actually works for you.

Healing your inner child through hobbies
In this episode of So What Happens Next, I’m talking about hobbies, healing your inner child, and learning how to build a life that feels fulfilling outside of society’s expectations.Why does fun suddenly seem to have an age limit? Why are we encouraged to be creative as children, only to be told to “grow up” as adults?I talk about my own experience of reconnecting with myself through hobbies, creativity, dance, romanticising life again, and allowing myself to enjoy things without needing them to be productive.Whether you’re childfree, questioning the traditional life script, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself lately, this episode is your reminder that you are allowed to have fun again.Because maybe healing isn’t always about fixing yourself. Maybe your inner child just wants to play again.

Relationships, Friendships and Family: Navigating a Child Free Life
So… what happens next when your relationships don’t all move in the same direction as your life?In this episode, I’m talking about something I’ve personally found one of the hardest parts of stepping outside the traditional timeline. Relationships.From romantic relationships and having those difficult conversations early on… to friendships shifting over time, and the quiet pressure that can come from family, this is an honest look at how life choices can impact the people around you.I share some of my own experiences, from navigating those early conversations in relationships, to moments where I’ve felt out of place in friendships, and the assumptions that can come from family.This one felt a bit more vulnerable to record, but it’s an honest one.

Redefining milestones: life without the traditional timeline
So… what happens when your life doesn’t follow the timeline you thought it would?In this first episode, I’m getting into the idea of milestones, the ones we grow up expecting, and what it feels like when your life doesn’t quite line up with them.From subtle pressure, to comparison, to that quiet feeling of being a bit 'behind'. This is about the in-between stage that not many people talk about.But it’s not just about that.It’s also about shifting your perspective.What if milestones aren’t fixed? What if you actually get to choose them?I talk about redefining what a meaningful life looks like, through things like growth, freedom, relationships, and building something that actually feels right for you, not just what’s expected.If you’ve ever felt a bit out of sync, unsure what comes next, or like you’re not quite where you “should” be… this one’s for you.
