Episode description

Today I grab a glass of wine and sit down with my friend Amber to delve into the often overlooked disparities in work expectations and pressures that childfree individuals confront. Our conversation traverses Amber’s journey from a young girl obsessed with school to an impressive woman obsessed with her career. 

She candidly opens up about her southern family's expectations of a woman's role and their disbelief that life can actually entail more than just having childfree. We also challenge the idea that having kids is the only way to assure care in old age - and isn't that selfish?

This episode encourages and empowers people to make choices that align with their true selves, rather than succumbing to societal pressures. Listen in, as we champion the cause of child-free individuals and provoke a much-needed conversation around it.
