Another week, another birth rate panic!
We recorded this ep before Dr Oz starting shrieking out about “under-babied” Americans, when the UK was freaking out about the death rate possibly exceeding the birth rate…

I look forward to your episodes. I live in the USA, and your show brings me much-needed joy during this chaotic political environment. I am an L.A. California child raised by a Salvadorean and very catholic mother. I’m the first person in my family to choose to be childfree. I knew it at 7yrs old. I’m happy to have stuck to my decision amidst all the pressures and judgments. I found a childfree by choice man, and we have a very fulfilling marriage/life. I still get the judgment, but ... more
Love, love, love this podcast! Every time the world makes me doubt my decision to be child free, I listen to an episode of We Are Childfree and feel right again. Thank you Zoe & James for the work you’re doing x
It is so refreshing to hear childfree people that have made it their mission to explore the joy and the vitality of lives lived with integrity that also happen not to be parental in nature. There is kindness and support in every aspect of this podcast, which validates me and provides a safe space. Thank you!
I just listened to this episode and it was one of those rare episodes that genuinely feels like it has gone to a very deep level of my soul and wrapped me in the most warmest, caring, reassuring hug. I just loved everything that she had to say, I could have listened to her talk to hours! Some of her life experiences were very similar to my own yet her perspective has also gifted me with a fresh view on my those areas of my own life. This podcast is truly fantastic, and so greatly needed for offe... more
Only just found this podcast and have been going back and listening from the start. As a 49 yr old, child free woman, it can be a strange space that we exist in. Generation trauma had to end with me, and I never had the person in my life that would be worthy of being a Father. I didn’t want a child of mine to have the childhood I did. But I adore children and have beautiful God Children I adore. But, I am worthy as a person without having children. Thank you for this podcast. xxx
