Child-Free Experience: How I Came to the Decision Not to Have Kids as a POCF

Child-Free Experience: How I Came to the Decision Not to Have Kids

We’re talking about the choice not to have children and what that experience has been like as a 42-year-old Partner of a Commercial Fisherman. In this episode, I touch on:

• Interviews with 10 women, ranging from 19 to late sixties, on why they do or do not have kids

• Deciding factors as a Partner of a Commercial Fisherman

• The stigmas of child-free women

• Real thoughts and concerns of those who don’t have kids

• Feeling confident in your decision to have kids or not 

I share to normalize women making decisions for themselves and not what society, family, or friends feel like they should do.  

Also, I am sensitive to those who are trying to have children and are having difficulty and those who want a child more than anything and aren’t able to conceive. Please skip this episode if the topic is too much right now. I hold space for you and send so much love.

Alright. Let’s get personal, shall we?
