“So... do you have kids?”
That one question—THAT ONE—can derail a whole damn conversation. Because if the answer is no? Suddenly, you’re forced to explain your whole existence. This week on Unlonely, I dive into it with the brilliant, badass, and beautifully bold Emily Paulsen who is child-free by choice, and not here to play by anyone else’s rules. We unpack the stigma, the double standards, the asinine questions (Hi, Uber drivers 🙃), and the truth about why choosing not to have kids is just as valid, beautiful, and bold as choosing to have them. Whether you're a mama, an auntie, child-free, child-less, questioning, exhausted, or just trying to make sense of how to be a woman in this damn world—this episode is a deep breath of truth. And spoiler alert: You get to choose. Full stop. No explanation required.

We feed our families every day. But when was the last time we actually slowed down and ate together? Between hockey practices, work trips, and whatever the hell we’re supposed to make for dinner, feeding ourselves can become one more thing to get through. And somewhere in all that rushing, we miss the chance to be with each other.
If you’ve ever wondered why so many men struggle to say what they feel, this conversation will hit home.
What if you're not burned out? What if you're heartbroken?
What if your legacy isn’t something you leave behind…but something you practice every single day?
What if the people who hurt us are also the people who heal us?
