This week my guest is Childfree Pioneer and Guru, Marcia Drut-Davis! Marcia shares her story of how an appearance on the American television news magazine 60 Minutes, in which she told her in-laws that she and her then-husband had no plans to have children, led to the loss of her teaching job and being unfairly labelled a child hater. We discuss Marcia's decision not to have children and the deep commitment that motherhood requires. Marcia shares her experience of being childfree in the 1970's, a time when she found herself alone in her choice. We discuss pronatalism and the common phrases used to shame and scare women into motherhood, as well as Marcia's two books, Confessions of a Childfree Woman and WHAT? You Don't Want Children? Marcia is a huge support to the childfree community and I hope you love this conversation! xx Follow Marcia here: https://www.instagram.com/childfree_guru CF Travel Connect: https://www.instagram.com/cf.travelconnect My So Called Selfish Life: https://myselfishlife.com/ Motherhood, Confessions of Regret Doctumentary Filmmaker, Towe Carson interview: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6XvpJFuoIi7bCnJYVXTZ5J?si=LpRbc8n6SiCoJDYClO2fNg Thank you so much for listening to my show! | |||

Having been on the pursuit of marriage and children, leading as far as to begin making plans to become a single mother, by choice... Kat had an awakening which led her to freedom from societal pressures, self love and acceptance, a blissful feeling of joy for an entire year and she is now a self proclaimed "Single at Heart" woman, enjoying her new found liberation. We discuss our aligned views on dating, men, relationships and celibacy and how we adore our single solitude. Enjoy! xx

| ECOLOGICAL OVERSHOOT & OUR FUTURE with Nandita Bajaj, Executive Director of Population Balance | 12 Feb 2025 | 01:24:45 | |
Today, my guest is Nandita Bajaj, Executive Director of Population Balance. Following on from my awakening episode, last week, I wanted to publish this interview which was carried out in August 2024. Nandita explains the stage we are currently at with overpopulation and how human supremacy, patriarchy and pronatalism have driven us to a dire situation on planet earth. We discuss ecological overshoot, the loss of biodiversity and the effect this has on the human race and the non-human animals, the ways in which animal agriculture is a driving force of climate change, the inequality between western culture and the lesser developed countries and the effects that children being born into the world today, will experience within their lifetimes. Nandita also tells us her own personal story of how her passion for the environment and animal rights led her to her current position and the epiphany she had when she realised she did not have to have children. You can follow this incredible organisation on IG, here: https://www.instagram.com/populationbalance/ Their website is: https://www.populationbalance.org/ and their two podcasts, OVERSHOOT & BEYOND PRONATALISM can be found on all platforms.

| Self-Love, Authenticity, Compassion & the Present Moment with Life Coach, Tom Parish | 15 Apr 2025 | 00:54:41 | |
TW - Suicidal ideation This week, my guest is Life Coach, Tom Parish. After a painful divorce, Tom was overwhelmed by self-doubt and shame and found himself struggling under the weight of toxic masculinity - the pressure to suppress emotion, to "man up" and to suffer in silence. In the midst of this emotional collapse, Tom experienced a profound awakening. He left his career as an Aircraft Engineer in the RAF and embarked on a radically different path as a Life Coach grounded by compassion, authenticity and connection to the present moment. We explore Tom's journey of healing, the inner work that helped him move through suicidal ideation and the liberating power of embracing vulnerability as a man. We also talk about the cultural pressures that keep so many men emotionally repressed and how self love is the foundation for real lasting change in ourselves and the world. As part of his awakening, Tom also embraced veganism, deepening his connection to compassion, authenticity and conscious living.

| Not Settling For The Wrong Relationship | 08 Apr 2025 | 00:21:45 | |
This week I'm talking about a time when I was close to settling within a relationship which was a very good one, but it wasn't the right one. I talk about my break up and how much it hurt and the grief I felt and the way i blamed myself, questioning why I couldn't just be happy and settle down. At 40 years old, I now see how much conditioning I was influenced by and talk about how my recognition of that was the first step towards being a happily single and childfree woman! Enjoy xxx Thank you so much for listening to my show! | |||
