About this listen

A "feelings-based" podcast that seeks to expand the discourse around the decision to be childfree and an exploration on the influences and messages that impact our thinking, and all of the possibilities of a life that is other than motherhood. This Podcast series focuses on bringing unique perspectives and interrogating the difficult questions, as well as elevating the importance of identity for women who do not choose to become mothers.

    WE'RE BACK! After a (slightly longer than planned) summer hiatus, the Other Than Motherhood podcast is returning to the regularly fortnightly scheduling with some very exciting episodes lined up, to see you through the autumn and winter months.

    We're kicking off this week with a recap of the amazing Storyhouse Childless festival, with 3 of the organisers - Dr Dawn Llewellyn, Kirstie Higgins and Nicola Haigh.

    A conversation with my mum
    Apr 6 2025

    For this episode, I invited my own mum to come and give me her perspective on my decision not to have children. She talks about her changing views, her reconciliations with life's curveballs and her advice for other would-be parents.


    Follow my mum on Instagram.... just kidding. She doesn't know how to use it.
