Brita's story is a raw and honest exploration of one of the most challenging scenarios in relationships: the discovery that one partner wants a child, and the other doesn't. She and her ex-husband started their romance young, with the societal script of "happily ever after plus baby" playing in the background. But as time went on, that traditional script began to unravel.

In this episode, Brita peels back the layers of her decision-making process, revealing the internal struggles, the relationship tensions, and ultimately, the path to self-discovery.

If you've ever wondered about the real-life implications of how the "baby decision" impacts a relationship, or if you're grappling with your own childfree choice, Brita's story will inspire you to check in with your true authentic self.

We're diving into the all-too-familiar rude comments that childfree people just can't seem to avoid. You know the ones – the hurtful, confusing, and downright insane remarks that make us shake our heads. These comments have become so ingrained in our society that people often don't realize just how insensitive they're being.

In this episode, we'll tackle gems like "What are you going to do if your partner dies before you?", "You'll change your mind" and a bunch more that you may have yet to hear.

Rick gives kudos to Veronica for her workout commitment and introduces a new AI tool that could be handy for childfree folks in the future. Meanwhile, Veronica recounts her eye-opening airport experience and announces the date for her Free Live Training- “Help! I Can’t Decide If I Want Kids”.

Amanda's story highlights the challenges many of us face when external pressure and judgment clouds our decision to have or not have kids.

Ever felt a bit out of place in your friend circle because everyone else has kids? Or maybe you find yourself holding back in conversations? In this episode, we unleash the top reasons why it feels so good to be surrounded by childfree friends.

It's so refreshing to connect with people who understand your frustrations, your wins and also share similar opinions. And let's face it, some of our family and friends have zero understanding of the childfree choice because they just don't get it.

We share one woman's journey down the dark hole of childfree communities and give you insight on our own childfree tribe. Also, Rick and I have our first on-air disagreement about something you may totally relate to.
