Childfree Me

Today I am honored to sit down with Marisa Moon, a national board-certified health and wellness coach and author of the Amazon bestseller book Not So Fast. Growing up surrounded by her large Italian family, Marisa always assumed she wanted to have children...until she realized that she didn't. We discuss how her ADHD diagnosis played a role in her decision, what it was like coming to terms with the choice in her late 20s, and why she's now drawn to coaching to mothers as a primal health coach.Check out all the many, many things that Marisa is up to in the wellness space!Not So Fast: The Smarter, More Gradual Approach to Intermittent Fasting Benefits That LastThe Not So Fast podcast (coming soon!) My Longevity KitchenSupport the showEmail me questions at [email protected] - I'd love to hear from you!Follow on the Gram: @childfreeme_Music from #Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/andrey-rossi/seize-the-day License code: 10MWPZUG3AZBGZPR

Today I sit down with Anish to discuss his decision to get a vasectomy as a single man at the age of 31. Together we debunk some common myths about the procedure, the factors that went into his decision, and the impact it's had on his life (hint: it's been positive). I'm so honored that Anish was willing to come on the show to talk about this extremely private decision and encourage anyone who might be interested in the procedure to speak with a professional about what it entails. Support the showEmail me questions at [email protected] - I'd love to hear from you!Follow on the Gram: @childfreeme_Music from #Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/andrey-rossi/seize-the-day License code: 10MWPZUG3AZBGZPR

Today I sit down with Sarah Patel, a woman who knew she didn't want to have childfren but doubted her choice when no one else around her felt the same way. Sarah is the mother of a thriving 6-year old who she loves deeply, and yet she can clearly recognize that the love for her child does not come with a love of parenting. She and I discuss her journey to choosing to have a child,  the impact of childbearing in an overpoulated world, and the courage to honor one's truth amidst the clamor of cultural expectations. Support the showEmail me questions at [email protected] - I'd love to hear from you!Follow on the Gram: @childfreeme_Music from #Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/andrey-rossi/seize-the-day License code: 10MWPZUG3AZBGZPR

Join me as I sit down with Shweta Ramkumar, a proud anti-natalist and passionate childfree woman who advocates for the childfree choice around the globe. We discuss her upbringing in a culture where a woman's value is often tied to her role as a wife and mother, and Shweta offers insights into her experiences, the support she has received from her family, and her relentless advocacy work. She also sheds light on the harsh realities faced by many Southern Asian women who dare to deviate from the prescribed path, and how her early childhood experience in India has shaped her pro-natalist views. Use the links below to explore more of Shweta's work in the childfree space:Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/childfreesrbuddysmum?igsh=MTMzeGQ1eTB0YTVyaA%3D%3D&utm_source=qrTikTok : https://www.tiktok.com/@shwetaramkumar?_t=8kZdITDhTmS&_r=1YouTube Playlist : https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrKJQMlU-aAmDEG6RQ34g4h_06B85CLEN&si=y2a9_r1lo5mE5KiSLinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/shweta-ramkumar-b4906515/Support the showEmail me questions at [email protected] - I'd love to hear from you!Follow on the Gram: @childfreeme_Music from #Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/andrey-rossi/seize-the-day License code: 10MWPZUG3AZBGZPR

It was a blast from the past to sit down with my friend and former co-worker Amanda Lane. Join us as we reminisce about dating apps, discuss her decision to embrace van life, examine the ecological merits of not having children, and question why the American dream of buying a house is even necessary. Amanda's story is a testament to living life on her own terms and never succumbing to societal expectations. It was such a treat to reconnect with an old friend over a newfound affinity - I hope you love her story as much as I do!Support the showEmail me questions at [email protected] - I'd love to hear from you!Follow on the Gram: @childfreeme_Music from #Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/andrey-rossi/seize-the-day License code: 10MWPZUG3AZBGZPR
