About The Kids or Childfree Podcast
Should I have kids? If you're on the fence about whether or not to have kids, this is your podcast. Each week, host and Clarity Coach, Keltie Maguire, will interview a wide-ranging host of different voices — from best-selling authors to outdoor adventurers to health experts — about their personal Kids or Childfree decision and the topics that run alongside this choice. From new and long-time moms to the currently ambivalent to those who are childfree by choice, you'll get to hear the answers to all the questions you can't seem to get straight answers on. What's it really like being a parent? What happens to childfree people when they get old? Do people who don't have kids regret it? Can you ever really be ready to have a child? And perhaps most importantly: How can I make my own Kids or Childfree decision?

Published 23 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] What if it's not true, I think is a way of being creative and sort of opening up possibilities. So I often have women say things like, you know, I know I would just kind of have to bear down through the first five years of having a kid and hate it, but like I get past that and I'm like, you know, is that true? Like what, what if you don't hate it? What else might be possible here? I think can sort of help expand our minds because I see a lot of people fixed in again, very like sort of dichotomous binary thinking about this decision. So yeah. Yeah. All right. You chose one. So I'm going to choose the next one from this category, which, um, is episode 111 with Caroline from elsewhere with care. […]
