Hey Lifers!

It's our big meaty Tuesday episode served up with a side of bants. Today we are revisiting a topic we spoke about several months ago and that is - being childless by choice. The reason why we have decided to revisit this is because we listened to your feedback and so many of you wanted us to go deeper on this topic and take into account more stories and perspectives. Which is exactly what we have done! 

But before we get into that we ask the big question… Have you ever masturbated at work - you horny little minx. 

Childless by choice

The default when we are growing up is that we seem to think that success will be getting a good job, getting married, buying a house and having babies; but our generation seem to be questioning the 'status quo.'

What about if you don't want to have kids?

On today's episode we are joined by 3 women who have made the decision to remain childfree.

We unpack:

-When they realised kids may not have been for them

-Their reasons for being child free

-How to navigate conversations with friends that are struggling with fertility

-How to navigate those conversations in a marriage/dating scenario

We also address these statements:

"But what about when you get old and there will be no one to look after you?"

"You just haven't met the right partner yet"

"You'll change your mind"

You can find these women on instagram.
