Let's talk!
Being childless, whether by choice or not, is topic that is personal and painful, and also political.
Dr Sian Prior joins us to share her journey, from weighing up the freedoms against the losses, the judgement, the accusations of being selfish, and writing her book ‘Childless’. This is a must-listen for everyone, whether you have children or not. As Sian shared, “I was so busy looking ahead, I didn’t allow myself to sit in the space I was in.”
