Description

Choosing not to have children remains one of the most controversial and personal decisions of our time.

In this episode of The News in You, Eleisha explores the growing global conversation around being "childfree" — speaking with Kiwi creator Danni Duncan, founder of The Others Club, a community that connects people without children across more than 70 cities worldwide. 

Danni Duncan has chosen to be childfree alongside her husband and she's made that choice public by sharing her story online which has garnered support from hundreds of thousands of individuals embracing the same choice.

From cultural expectations to online backlash, this episode unpacks why the choice to live childfree still divides opinion and reveals how we define womanhood, purpose, and freedom.
