A woman’s purpose is often tied to her womb. It can be a struggle for women without children to feel as if their lives matter or even have purpose if they don’t have children. In this episode, joined with Dr. Kelly Thomas (00:45 ), we get real and share joys of being child-free (10:25 ), regrets of being child-free (14:45 ), and redefine the meaning of legacy as child-free women (20:05 ). We also explore the pros and cons of being an older mom.

A special treat - Our guest is also the creator of the musical game, Lyrikel Genius. (https://lyrikelgenius.com) We close out the episode with a few rounds of this game. (35:30 ) Um... please forgive my competitive nature. 😜
