  • Thank you Keltie!

    I feel like I dreamed this podcast into life! After years of googling and making pros and cons lists, I have finally found the resource I so desperately needed for over a decade while I sat on the fence. It is so comforting to listen to so many like-minded thoughts and perspectives that remind me that I’m not alone. The parts of the podcast that really resonated also helped to solidify my decision. I am no longer on the fence….. hello from the other side [insert Adele’s big, beautiful voice]❤️

  • No longer alone in the decision

    Keltie is bringing such important conversations to the table. A topic I felt so alone with until I found Keltie and her podcast. I’ve listened to every episode but felt especially drawn to the conversation with Helen Taylor. It’s so nice to hear the perspective of someone in a much different stage of life. Keep doing what you’re doing, Keltie!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

87. Melissa Guida-Richards on The Nuances of Adoption
Q: Is adoption a viable possible path for solo parenthood?
Yes, solo parenting is a great option for some people, but prospective parents need to understand their capabilities and ensure they have adequate support systems.
87. Melissa Guida-Richards on The Nuances of Adoption
Q: What are some questions that people should be asking themselves before embarking on the adoption process?
People should dig deep to understand their 'why' behind adopting, considering motivations beyond wanting a child, such as the desire to improve a child's life. They should also explore the type of adoption they are interested in, as different paths affect the adoption process profoundly.
88. Zoë Noble on Cultivating Childfree Community
Q: What kind of suggestions can you give people in terms of how to cultivate or create that community?
Finding those people is important. It doesn't mean that every friend that you have has to be childfree. I have some amazing friends who are mothers, fathers.
88. Zoë Noble on Cultivating Childfree Community
Q: Were you one of those people who knew from the age of eight that childfree was the path for you?
My journey was a lot more simpler than a lot of people in our community. I always knew that I didn't want children. It was like a non-decision.
86. Ask Anne with Childfree 91-Year-Old Anne Wennhold
Q: Do you feel like you missed out by not having kids?
No way. I have enjoyed the young people and that friends have in my life.
