12 NOV 2024 · Donald Trump has (once again) won the United States presidential election — despite 34 felony counts, 1 conviction, 2 cases pending, 2 impeachments, and 6 bankruptcies.
That means a Republican White House, a Republican leaning Supreme Court, a Republican majority in the Senate, and a likely Republican House of Representatives. With Republicans at the helm, so much is at stake for our democracy — particularly for women and the childfree.
And that’s where the 4B movement comes in. In this episode we’ll cover the 4B movement, what it is, how it’s growing into a 5B, 6B, and 7B movement, why childfree women are embracing it, and what it means for our future.

8 OCT 2024 · This might be our most requested episode EVER. In August, the United States Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy issued an advisory with the claim thathttps://www.hhs.gov/surgeongeneral/priorities/parents/index.html. The full document from the Surgeon General is roughly 30 pages and let me tell you, if you thought parenting sounded horrible before, let me tell you: it’s worse than you think! We’ll get into what the study found, and discuss what they’re recommending as opportunities to lessen parental stress.

24 SEP 2024 · As childfree content creators, we often hear from folks who are considering fostering or adoption. That’s why today, we’re talking to probably one of the best voices on the topic. Angela Tucker, a transracial adoptee, is a filmmaker and author challenging the dominant adoption paradigms by centering adoptee voices in the mainstream.
Angela is a Black woman adopted from foster care to a white family. Her story has been chronicled in https://www.angelatucker.com/films, a documentary about the search for her biological parents, as well as in her book https://bookshop.org/a/56255/9780807006511 which was released in 2023. She’s also the founder of The Adopted Life, a consulting company where she offers workshops and mentorship, with a mission to help center adoptee stories and bring clarity and truth narratives about race, class, and identity. She has advised the writers of Broadway’s ‘Jagged Little Pill’ as well as NBC’s ‘This Is Us’. If you enjoy this episode, be sure to check out her podcast, https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-adoptee-next-door/id1525068563 Angela lives in Seattle, Washington with her husband, Emmy-award winning filmmaker Bryan Tucker.

10 SEP 2024 · Two years ago on Reddit, user dettispaghetti wrote on the truechildfree subreddit on a post titled https://www.reddit.com/r/truechildfree/comments/v81rps/euthanasia_will_be_an_option_when_were_old_and/ Saying, “Seriously... the answer to the age old question of who will change your diapers when you're old is no one. People will not be dying agonizing cancer deaths in a few decades either. Whenever people have asked me this I have always told them I am never going to be an old hag suffering in pain regardless of whether I have children or not.
Euthanasia is already becoming legalized in more and more places, by the time we're old it will be widely available and accessible to old people who can't fend for themselves. I would never waste my money or my children's money paying for assisted living or whatever, even if I had kids that money would go to them instead of prolonging my misery. Some people sell their houses so they can pay for assisted living which is a waste of your life's work and you are taking that money from whoever would inherit the house. This point of view will be the norm when we're old, quality of life is what is important, not quantity.”
So, today we’re talking about physician-assisted a death — the practice of receiving, essentially, legalized suicide support to end your life on your terms. We’ll be looking at the pros and cons, where it’s actually legal, how we feel about it, and more.

Tune in to hear our thoughts on the documentary and much more!

23 JUL 2024 · By popular demand, this episode will cover everything you need to know about Project 2025. If you’re unfamiliar, many are calling Project 2025 a “dystopian right-wing blueprint to overhaul America,” under the assumption that former President and convicted felon Donald Trump is elected to a second term as president. We’ll discuss abortion, women’s rights, and why it matters for you. Most importantly, we’ll talk about what you can do to make sure this insanity doesn’t make it to the White House.
