Bonus Episode: The Backstory

Join good friends and colleagues, Jill Zeligson Brenner and Saira John, as they delve into the secret world of why people choose to not have children. The provocative question of "Is Child-Free For Me?" investigates the underpinnings, inner turmoil and confusion that can plague those who are not sure if having children is for them. However, the social stigma and judgment often received by these individuals lead many to remain mum on the topic. This podcast is created to fill a void that is lacking to support, affirm and advocate for those who are in the midst of deciding on this big issue or who have already made up their minds. Hear how Jill and Saira are passionate about this social issue for different reasons. It is hoped their exciting interviews with brave individuals willing to share their personal journeys will resonate with others. Additionally, the aim is to decrease feelings of isolation and perhaps a sense of being abnormal because there isn't a clear yearning to have children.
