Claiming Zero

Daliyce and Vanessa

What happens when society tells you, you have nothing to claim but "zero"? You make a podcast for the Childfree & Fencesitter community. Vanessa is a case manager for men and women in prison with a schedule filled to the brim and no time or energy for kids of her own. Join her and her partner Devin as they share their hilariously honest life experiences living childfree in a world full of parents.

Claiming Zero - Ep 94: HerStory: Sue Bird
play

12/06/22 • 37 min

This week Vanessa is taking her shot (pun intended) at sharing the story of an incredible athlete. WNBA rockstar Sue Bird is maybe more of a fence sitter, but when your fiancé is Megan Rapinoe and your lives as professional athletes are always busy, kids are something that often take the back burner. Send us your Herstory suggestions with a DM @claimingzero and buy us a coffee at the link below

SPOILER ALERT! If you haven’t watched Look Both Ways on Netflix, do it before you listen to this week's episode! Vanessa convinced Daliyce this was a good movie so she watched it. She wasn’t the only one because Reddit also had something to say about it, so we joined the millions and chatted about it, too.

Claiming Zero - Ep 84: Leaving a "Legacy"
play

09/27/22 • 30 min

On today’s episode we’re discussing the concept of a legacy and what it means for people who are childfree. Parents (men in particular) often claim the need to leave a legacy is their reason for wanting offspring, but there’s no guarantee that legacy will even make a difference after you’re gone.

This weeks episode guest is Josh from MN and Josh just recently got a vasectomy! We were so curious about his childfree life and what brought him to make the decision to get snipped. This is great info for everyone who is certain they want to remain childfree and we hope you appreciate his candor. But also, see a doctor for the facts and don't take medical advice from strangers!
