  • Author, activist, and educator Rachel Cargle, talks about choosing to be childfree as a reflection of the kind of life she wants to live. In the episode we discuss:

    -How Rachel’s early childhood influences helped expand her vision for her life path

    -How her mother’s disability made her even more determined to go after what she wanted for herself

    -The tools we develop to survive when we are young – and why we need to update them as we mature

    -The factors that informed Rachel’s (current!) decision not to become a parent

    -Ways to build community and chosen family as women without kids

    -The origin story of Rachel’s childfree platform, Rich Auntie Supreme

    -The significance of the role of “auntie” in Black and indigenous communities

    -Claiming the “childfree” identity as being central to who we are

    -How Rachel’s queer, non-monogamous identity intersects with her childfree status
