Child Free By Choice with Courtney Alesandro
Manage episode 441602910 series 3584742
In episode 11 of Carrie's Always Talking, Courtney Alesandro joins Carrie to discuss the complexities of being child-free by choice, exploring societal norms, personal choices, and the emotional landscape surrounding motherhood. They delve into the value of women beyond their roles as mothers, the impact of patriarchy on women's decisions, and the importance of empathy and understanding in conversations about reproductive choices. The discussion emphasizes the need for curiosity over assumptions and encourages listeners to reflect on their reactions to others' choices.
Carrie highlights the idea that making the choice not to mother or nurture does not make a person less worthwhile, even if it elicits a negative reaction to those around them. Both Carrie and Courtney share some of their experiences as women who have made this choice in their own lives. As always, there are lots of laughs and connection while discussing this topic that has become more politicized in recent months.
