    4 myths of the childfree

    . Episode Highlights: Myth #1: Parents know what it's like to be childfree because they were childfree before having kids. Maggie breaks down why being childfree is not just a phase but a conscious lifestyle choice. Myth #2: Being childfree is just for the night, the weekend, or the week. I discuss the problematic narrative that portrays being childfree as a temporary persona rather than a lifestyle choice. Myth #3: Childfree individuals are perpetually stuck in a party mode, seeking to relive their youth. I challenge this stereotype and highlight the diverse reasons why people choose to be childfree. Myth #4: Singles who are childfree will eventually settle down and have kids once they meet the right person. I expose the harmful notion that childfree individuals are simply waiting to be convinced into parenthood. Join me, Maggie Dickens, as I debunk these myths and share insights from my own childfree journey. Plus, stick around for a glimpse into my life as an expat in Portugal, where I'm soaking up the Southern European sun and embracing her childfree lifestyle to the fullest! Don't forget to hit that subscribe button and notification bell to join the vibrant Unapologetically Childfree community, and let me know in the comments which myth resonated with you the most! Until next time, tchau y'all!
