This week, Holly sits down with content creator Carina North to talk about choosing a childfree life in a world that often assumes motherhood is inevitable. Carina shares how growing up in a religious environment shaped her early expectations about marriage and children, and how discovering the childfree community helped her realize parenthood is a choice—not an obligation. Together they explore the cultural pressure placed on women to have kids, the online backlash childfree women face, and the political and social narratives influencing reproductive choices today.

Carina North is the voice behind Her Childfree Life, where she talks about living childfree by choice and what it really means to build a life on your own terms.
