- Here for Dr McGraw!
I am not child free - in fact I’m here to listen to Dr. Nicole McGraw’s episode because she delivered (or caught, as she calls it!) two of my three children. She is the absolute best and gave me two amazing experiences. She isn’t kidding when she says she believes in autonomy. My last child was born 5 weeks ago today and she so confidently let me call the shots during the labor & delivery. My last delivery was the dream birth scenario for me and I’m so grateful to have her as my provider!

Kudos to these two women friends for their curious and compassionate stance on the vast number of topics they delve into. 🥰💯🔥I really enjoy their podcast and learned about it from the childfree convention this past July (2023). I’ve been binging it since then, and I’ve shared some episodes with other childfree friends, and have even considered sharing with non-childfree friends (still gathering that courage lol).
Daliyce and Vanessa’s voices are so needed as they give balance to the childfre... more

Just discovered this show and love everything about it! It does a great job of exploring the child free experience while also respecting everyone’s choice to decide for themselves. I relate so hard to so many things they discuss it’s unreal.
