This chapter discusses the difficulties faced by new parents, including time management and financial burdens. They also highlight solutions such as Pampers' online diaper fund and recommend affordable luxury shopping at Quince.
Ruby Warrington joins us to discuss the often overlooked experiences of women who do not have children - by choice or circumstance.
- How the deeply ingrained belief that womanhood is synonymous with motherhood can be a tool to suppress women's sexuality and autonomy.
- The reasons women may choose to be child-free – and the myriad ways women can define their lives and identities outside of motherhood; and
- Why we need community and conversation for everyone on the motherhood spectrum.
