Episodes
Remi Baker
Former CEO Remi Baker, founder of The Third Chapter, and Chloe discuss why so many women hit their late 40s and ask, “Is this it?”
Tasha takes a left
Tasha is childfree by choice at 25. She talks to Chloe about putting friendship at the centre of adult life, building a community around living differently, and what commitment means without marriage.
Paul Morland
Falling birth rates are reshaping the world, so why is population decline so hard to feel? Demographer Paul Morland and Chloe Alana discuss how falling birth rates have a ‘feeling’ problem and what happens to cities when the children run out.
Anna Louie Sussman
Are we choosing not to have children, or being priced out? Journalist Anna Louie Sussman, author of Who Gets to Have Kids, talks about the cost of living, student debt, “Project Me” and the real question: who actually gets to have a family?
Claire McGowan
Childfree, Childless, Undecided: Who Gets to Write the Script?
We like neat labels. Childfree by choice. Childless, not by choice. But plenty of people live somewhere in between: undecided and ambivalent. Claire and Chloe discuss Claire’s novel, The Quickening, fertility treatment, egg freezing at 39, and the possibility that life makes the choice for you.
Dr Lani Watson

Philosopher Dr Lani Watson, the Questions Doctor, talks to Chloe about decision fatigue, living with ambivalence, and what to ask each other instead of “do you have kids?”
