Why does our society still have so much disdain for women who choose not to have children? And more to the point, how should you approach this decision in your life if you’re feeling judged for wanting a child-free life? That’s the subject of today’s episode with Therese Shechter, the award-winning filmmaker and Director, Producer, and Writer of the film, “My So-called Selfish Life: A New Documentary About the Childfree Choice.” Together we explore the taboos and trade-offs around living a child-free life, along with some of the ways we can avoid the social pressure to procreate and give ourselves permission to live the life we really want.
