Customer Reviews
Anna is a lovely host!
This is a great podcast not just for people that know they don’t want kids, but also people that are on the fence or people that have children and want to better understand why someone may choose not to. Anna brings a kind and understanding perspective to her conversations with various experts on the childfree topic.
Going Back Through More Episodes
I find community in this podcast. I love it. The guest reflect different walks of life within the childfree spectrum and Anna, who has great energy, connects well with her guest. She is thoughtful in her questions, follow-ups and interactions and everything is natural and relatable. I just discovered this podcast but I am going back and listening to more episodes
Incredible podcast!
As a CF woman, I love hearing stories each week! It’s reaffirming to hear others stories!
