On today’s episode, I did a podcast swap with Raphie of the Not A Momma podcast. I’m all about collaboration, not competition and Raphie is for community over competition so we became fast friends and talk about all things childfree and of course the Kid Free Five!

Kesha is a speech therapy pathologist in the NYC Public Schools, works with St. Mary’s Children Hospital and has private clients. She talks about what it’s like to be childfree while in quarantine.

As we continue to stay at home, only go out for essentials, wear face coverings while social distancing, I reached out to my previous SINK SitDown guests, Latricia, Michelle and Stacy to to hear how they are coping during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hey DINKs and SINKs family! I wanted to check in with you. I have podcasts ready for publish but they involve travel and other topics I don’t feel are appropriate at this time.

I live in New Jersey where we have a stay at home executive order issued by the governor. I have been working from home for the last 2 weeks. If I’m being honest I hate it. I don’t mind staying at home, I don’t like being told to stay at home. Also, I don’t have a job where working from home is optimal.

A few months ago, right around the time I started this podcast, this documentary was brought to my attention. Maxine was doing the rounds on all the morning shows and like many of us DINKs and SINKs, I saw her as bringing attention to my choice not to have kids in a positive light.

Today’s podcast features Stacy, my friend for over 20 years. She lives in NYC, is a HR Director for a non-profit and a proud SINK.

s being childfree celebrated on television shows?

I found a few shows where characters talk about being childfree.

I was told by a member of the Mommy Mafia (check out episode 2, if you don’t know who they are) that I couldn’t use the term family because my husband and I don’t have children.

You walk into a restaurant and there’s a toddler at the bar. You’re at your regular nail appointment and there’s a couple of tweens in the pedicure chairs. You and your friends go to a winery tour and there’s a couple with a preteen. You and your BFF go to a day spa and there are teenagers in the lounge. Have any of these situations happened to you? What do you do?
