Ep. 58: Dr. Rachel Chrastil — How to Have a Life you Love, With or Without Kids

My guest this week is historian and author Dr. Rachel Chrastil, who recently wrote a book called How to Be Childless: A History and Philosophy of Life Without Children. We discussed the intersection of her professional and personal interest in this topic—Rachel herself has chosen not to have kids—and several of the myths about a life without children. Her perspective is uplifting, as she emphasizes the joy in living that is available to all, regardless of parenthood status, and the symbiosis that exists between those who do and those who don't have kids.    Check out the complete show notes here.
