Breaking Down Stereotypes: An Unapologetic Conversation On Child Free Life
In this episode, I dissect the notion of stereotypes surrounding individuals who choose not to have children. As a licensed therapist, I navigate common assumptions, including being selfish, will face regret later in life, being emotionally unfulfilled, and being freedom-centric, among others.
I provide counter-arguments based on personal experiences and societal observations, refuting these stereotypes, and advocates for a purposeful, intentional life regardless of the decision to parent or not.
The episode aims to encourage listeners to own their choices and embrace their individuality.

4 myths of the childfree
Unapologetically Childfree with Maggie Dickens
03/23/24 • 17 min
. Episode Highlights:
Myth #1: Parents know what it's like to be childfree because they were childfree before having kids. Maggie breaks down why being childfree is not just a phase but a conscious lifestyle choice.
Myth #2: Being childfree is just for the night, the weekend, or the week. I discuss the problematic narrative that portrays being childfree as a temporary persona rather than a lifestyle choice.
Myth #3: Childfree individuals are perpetually stuck in a party mode, seeking to relive their youth. I challenge this stereotype and highlight the diverse reasons why people choose to be childfree.
Myth #4: Singles who are childfree will eventually settle down and have kids once they meet the right person. I expose the harmful notion that childfree individuals are simply waiting to be convinced into parenthood. Join me, Maggie Dickens, as I debunk these myths and share insights from my own childfree journey.
Plus, stick around for a glimpse into my life as an expat in Portugal, where I'm soaking up the Southern European sun and embracing her childfree lifestyle to the fullest!
