  • Sandy, 62 - "I Always Felt Real Women Were Over There, and I Was Over Here."

    Sandy, 62 - "I Always Felt Real Women Were Over There, and I Was Over Here."
    2026/07/29

    Sandy is living proof that there’s more than one way to be childfree! She used to struggle with ambivalence about having children, always feeling different to the other girls, but still feeling the same pressure to become a mother one day. After a lot of time and money spent on trying to get pregnant, it was in her late 30s that Sandy accepted and started to embrace a life without children.

    That’s about the same time that a professor recognised Sandy’s community work in Montreal, and recommended her for a master’s program in social work - giving her a direction that has nothing to do with having children. She’s come out several times - as genderqueer, as pansexual, and childfree - and now lives in a platonic life partnership with a friend, and they care for each other and their ageing families 💞

    This conversation reminds us that, no matter how complicated life can get, you can still find yourself, and the people and things that you care about. And that is enough.

    Visit Sandy’s website to find out more about her and her work.

    Hag. Spinster. Crone. Childless cat lady 🐈‍⬛ The words have barely changed - and neither has the patriarchal playbook.In this episode, we trace the threads between the women burned as witches and the childfree women demonised today: fear of females outside of men’s control, the suspicion of our time and money, the medical misogyny that came after midwives and still shows up in doctor’s offices to this day.Join us as we get dark, summon the spirits of our long-dead sisters, and gather a coven of powerful childfree women ✨BBC Radio 4 podcast: WitchJody Day: The Symbolic Annihilation of Childless Women in Films and MediaHarpy: A Manifesto for Childfree Women by Caroline MagennisGuen, Berlin: “People wonder, when left to our own devices, what trouble childfree women get up to.”Roz, UK: “It was all men making decisions about my body.”Monica, Berlin: “I was struggling to find a job, until I started to bring up being childfree in interviews.

  • Karen, 67 - “I Won’t Let Fear Stop Me”

    Karen, 67 - “I Won’t Let Fear Stop Me”
    2026/06/30
    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wearechildfree.substack.com

    “Feel the fear and do it anyway” could be the motto of 67-year-old aussie legend Karen. She’s skydived despite her fear of heights, dived with sharks even though she didn't quite trusting the cowboys running the operation, and tried stand-up comedy - because of her terror of public speaking 💪

    For Karen, being childfree has meant freedom. Freedom to leave her husband who thought she’d change her mind and only wanted to dim her (intense) light. Freedom to move on a whim, from Adelaide to Singapore, and then Hong Kong. And freedom to date men as young as her friend’s grown-up children ❤️

    Karen has so many stories, we kept the juiciest ones for our Dolly Patrons. Subscribe now to hear about Karen’s trip to a brothel, how many children she had in a past life, and what she did on her honeymoon with the toast and the jam… 🍞

    Whatever you wish for your childfree life, we hope this conversation inspires you to not let fear stand in your way!
