In this episode, Keltie is joined by her husband, Chris, for a candid discussion about their decision to be childfree, and namely, how choosing childfree has been for Chris as a man.

The two of them discuss:

Chris's personal journey from ambivalence to confidently childfree

The role of personal and relationship development in their decision-making process, and how they navigated their decision as a couple

The challenges and potential resentment that can arise if one partner wants children more than the other

Topics such as societal pressures, financial considerations, and the desire to maintain their current lifestyle

How societal pressure and expectations around having children are different for men than women, plus Chris's personal experience with nosy questions and naysayers

Chris's feelings about getting a vasectomy and why he's chosen not to have one

The love they share for their childfree life together, and how they find and create deeper meaning and fulfillment
