23. Marisa Moon on prioritizing your health

Tuesday, April 16, 2024 • Duration 42:00

Today I am honored to sit down with Marisa Moon, a national board-certified health and wellness coach and author of the Amazon bestseller book Not So Fast. Growing up surrounded by her large Italian family, Marisa always assumed she wanted to have children...until she realized that she didn't. We discuss how her ADHD diagnosis played a role in her decision, what it was like coming to terms with the choice in her late 20s, and why she's now drawn to coaching to mothers as a primal health coach.

Check out all the many, many things that Marisa is up to in the wellness space!

22. Anish on taking fate into your own hands

Tuesday, April 9, 2024 • Duration 33:02

Today I sit down with Anish to discuss his decision to get a vasectomy as a single man at the age of 31. Together we debunk some common myths about the procedure, the factors that went into his decision, and the impact it's had on his life (hint: it's been positive). I'm so honored that Anish was willing to come on the show to talk about this extremely private decision and encourage anyone who might be interested in the procedure to speak with a professional about what it entails.

13. Dr. Jay Zigmont on childfree wealth

Tuesday, January 16, 2024 • Duration 44:33

Today I sit down with Dr. Jay of Childfree Wealth and the Childfree Wealth Podcast, to discuss ... you guessed it ... childfree wealth! Dr. Jay is a leading figure in the childfree community and a huge childfree advocate; it was an absolute honor to have him on the show. Tune in to hear him put me in the hot seat and discuss my winding road off and then on the STP (standard life plan). We address the myth that all childfree people are automatically dripping with money, and discuss the many biases that childfree individuals face, both in and out of the financial space.

Dr. Jay is an absolute wealth of knowledge (no pun intended), and I'm including some of my favorite of his blog posts below if you're interested in learning more. Happy reading!

Nathalie approaches her decision to be childfree with serene confidence, spirituality and most importantly, self love. Something we can all aspire to!

11. Kae Morales on dating around the globe

Tuesday, December 12, 2023 • Duration 39:38

Today I sit down with my coworker Karen (Kae) Morales who spends six months a year in Mexico and the rest exploring the world. After getting the travel bug at the age of 12, Kae has pursued her passion for travel around the world and gets to live the life most of us only dream of - bopping around Europe visiting friends, and of course dating along the way. Kae and I discuss how (and more importantly, at what point) she brings up the topic of being childfree when first starting to date someone, and we marvel at the number of times men have actually tried to convince her to change her mind. Buckle up, because this one is fun :)

7. Rimple Patel on prioritizing yourself

Tuesday, November 7, 2023 • Duration 37:03

Today I'm joined by Rimple Patel to discuss how being childfree has influenced her professional growth and the lessons she's learned in prioritizing self and setting boundaries at work. After growing up in Malawi, Rimple moved to the U.S. at the age of 17 to earn her undergraduate degree and has experienced a meteoric career ever since. We have a great discussion on how she's able to experience the role of parent to her niece and nephew and her excitement around being able to move to Madrid for a year. At the end, Rimple reminds me of the importance of visualization and creating vision boards to achieve your goals. I'm so grateful for her wisdom and time - and can't wait for you to hear her story!

Here are the references from my intro about workplace biases against people who don't have children:

6. Rae Chatterton on sterilization, witchcraft, and meaningful rituals

Tuesday, October 31, 2023 • Duration 39:35

Happy Halloween everyone! My guest today is Rachel (Rae) Chatterton, a naturalistic Pagan and anti-natalist hailing from a small town in northern Michigan where she and her husband are the only childfree couple that they know of. Rae delves into her decision to opt for permanent birth control, the sterilization process, and the challenges she faced in a misogynistic healthcare system that often resists such choices.

Together we dissect societal assumptions - from being childfree in a rural community to the intriguing parallels between witches and childfree women. We dive deeper into the misconceptions surrounding those who choose to be childfree and those who identify as witches, and how these stereotypes continue to pervade societal thinking and media portrayals. The conversation extends to Rae's belief in naturalistic Paganism, examining how it intertwines with her identity and how she navigates intrusive questions about her personal and religious choices.

Lastly, we pull back the curtain on the concept of anti-natalism, discussing its implications for humanity, from extreme to moderate perspectives.

Warning: please skip the timestamp 5:30 - 5:47 if you're triggered by delivery complications.
