Description
What happens when society tells you, you have nothing to claim but "zero"? You make a podcast for the Childfree & Fencesitter community.
Vanessa is a reentry supervisor for a non-profit that helps men and women in prison rebuild their lives. Her partner Devin is a sports enthusiast working in live television as a director and volunteering at the animal shelter on the weekends. Neither of them have time or energy for kids and they are okay with that! For now. Join them every week as they share their hilariously honest life experiences living childfree in a world full of parents.
