  • 📢 E35: Parenthood Isn’t for Me, and Here’s Why – A Deep Dive into Choosing a Child-Free Life

    💡 Why do some people choose not to have kids? A listener asked me about being child-free in my mid-30s, and it got me reflecting on my own reasons—autonomy, sacrifice, fulfilment, and whether parenthood is truly the only path to a meaningful life.

    In this episode of English & Beyond, I dive into:
    ✅ The rising trend of choosing a child-free life
    ✅ Family pressure & societal expectations around parenthood
    ✅ The "white picket fence" dream—why I once wanted kids but changed my mind
    ✅ The pros & cons of a child-free life
    ✅ A candid discussion with César—do we ever feel FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) about not having children?

    Plus, unexpected twists, including an awkward baby-holding moment and… sausage dogs. 🐶
