About this listen

Season Two Coming Soon!

✴️ Do you ever wonder what childfree life REALLY looks and feels like? Sure there are the party days and good times of your 20s and 30s (which we both crushed btw) but what about when things start to "slow down" at 50? Is fun still a priority? Does the worry about the elder years increase or decrease? Does regret set in or fade into oblivion? Do friendships change? Is building community with new childfree friends possible?


We are a happy childfree couple living in Austin, TX who are here to answer all these questions and share our in-depth experience and expertise on Childfree Life. Our personal journeys towards the childfree life were very different. Veronica experienced 10+ years of doubt and confusion while Rick wasn't aware that his voice mattered. PLUS- we will be covering the topics that matter to all childfree people- health and wellness, relationships, investments, career, travel and a whole lot more!


KNOW THIS ➡️ We are committed to being honest and transparent with y'all as we share our past mistakes and what we are doing now (specifically) to live a fulfilled childfree life. We are also excited to introduce guests who can open the doors to even more joy and self exploration for us all.


Whether you are loving your childfree life or ruminating about the childfree choice- this podcast is for you! Think of us as your older(ish) & wiser(ish) childfree friends who are struttin' down the childfree path with you.

New episodes are released every other Thursday!

    Bonus Episode: My Husband Wants Kids But I Don't (Is Childfree For Me?)
    Aug 20 2024

    Brita's story is a raw and honest exploration of one of the most challenging scenarios in relationships: the discovery that one partner wants a child, and the other doesn't. She and her ex-husband started their romance young, with the societal script of "happily ever after plus baby" playing in the background. But as time went on, that traditional script began to unravel.

    In this episode, Brita peels back the layers of her decision-making process, revealing the internal struggles, the relationship tensions, and ultimately, the path to self-discovery.

    If you've ever wondered about the real-life implications of how the "baby decision" impacts a relationship, or if you're grappling with your own childfree choice, Brita's story will inspire you to check in with your true authentic self.

  • What To Do When You Catch Yourself Overthinking

    What To Do When You Catch Yourself Overthinking
    Jul 22 2024

    Ever catch yourself in a spiral of anxiety and worry? If your answer is “no,” we want your secret! Chances are, at some point in the last few weeks, you found yourself overthinking about SOMETHING.

    As childfree individuals, society likes to warn us about our potentially regretful future. While these thoughts may sneak in from time to time, what about all the other pesky worries that line up in our brains? In this episode, Rick and I share the four tips that help us cope when we catch ourselves overthinking.

    Join us as we celebrate the final episode of Season 1! Rick shares his fears about an old injury, and I explain why I refuse to watch movie trailers. We also discuss a disturbing event at an adults-only pool that we now refer to as “the incident.”
