4 myths of the childfree

. Episode Highlights:

Myth #1: Parents know what it's like to be childfree because they were childfree before having kids. Maggie breaks down why being childfree is not just a phase but a conscious lifestyle choice.

Myth #2: Being childfree is just for the night, the weekend, or the week. I discuss the problematic narrative that portrays being childfree as a temporary persona rather than a lifestyle choice.

Myth #3: Childfree individuals are perpetually stuck in a party mode, seeking to relive their youth. I challenge this stereotype and highlight the diverse reasons why people choose to be childfree.

Myth #4: Singles who are childfree will eventually settle down and have kids once they meet the right person. I expose the harmful notion that childfree individuals are simply waiting to be convinced into parenthood. Join me, Maggie Dickens, as I debunk these myths and share insights from my own childfree journey.

Plus, stick around for a glimpse into my life as an expat in Portugal, where I'm soaking up the Southern European sun and embracing her childfree lifestyle to the fullest!
