Countdown to the 2023 Virtual Childfree Convention
And the latest in childfree podcasts and events!
Hey there,
We’re one month away from the 2023 Virtual Childfree Convention! We go live on Childfree Convention YouTube at 8:45 AM EDT on Saturday, July 29th and again on Sunday, July 30th!
You can spread the word by sharing this graphic with your network/friends/family/people who bug you about being childfree.
We’d also like to thank the many social media groups who have granted our volunteer PR team permission to post about the event!

Childfree Podcasts: latest episodes
Childfree Media Podcast
Cody and LeNora react to recent articles about #childfree, including biased financial software, selfishness, and icons like Queen Elizabeth the 1st. Our live-chat audience was lively this week, and we all questioned whether or not the article on how to find other childfree people was helpful.
Childfree Wealth
In this episode, Bri talks with Ashley Maready about what it’s like being LGBTQIA+ in America. Together they share their individual stories of realizing they’re queer & coming out publicly. They discuss a few numbers related to being LGBTQIA+ and share what you can do to be a supportive ally.
Claiming Zero Podcast
This week we’ve found yet another reason to live Childfree. If we’re lucky enough, we’ll grow old and experience many of life’s adventures in our Golden Years. Without children, we think that experience gets a lot better. But, that’s just our opinion ;)
Over 40 and Childfree
Get ready for a hilariously informative rollercoaster ride on this week’s side-splitting edition of Over 40 and Childfree! Brace yourselves as we dive headfirst into the absurdity of the news cycle, unearthing a treasure trove of bizarre and mind-boggling stories that’ll leave you both scratching your head and clutching your sides. We’re serving up our spicy opinions with a side of laughter, so tune in to hear our wacky takes on the week’s madness.
Spinsterhood Reimagined
My very special guest this week is one of my fabulous listeners, the lovely Maddie Southorn, who works in communications and business development for a legal educational charity. She is also a singer-songwriter, musician, and knitter of cat toys!
Topics that Maddie & I cover are:
• how Maddie is single by circumstance and her struggles around that;
• her most recent relationship and how they were engaged to be married;
• how it took Maddie a while to adjust to living on her own;
• Maddie’s experience of being single, and how turning 50 sparked a bit of an existential crisis
Celebrations in honor of International Childfree Day
International Childfree Day is August 1st. We’re highlighting events taking place in celebration!
Just in case you forgot, for International Childfree Day, Childfree Wealth is sponsoring a billboard in Times Square to celebrate what it is like to be Childfree!
The billboard will be sharing facts about being Childfree and showcasing how five people celebrate being Childfree. Here’s an example:
We are looking for your help! To celebrate ICD and get the word out there, we are looking to do a lot of press! If you work at a TV station, media outlet, podcast, or any other press, we can use your help! Email jay@childfreewealth.comand we can send you our pitch to share!
Also, if you are going to be in NYC on August 1st, don’t forget to take your picture with the billboard and share it with us!
The Chocolate & Childfree Sistah Circle Brunch will be a chance to build community and make connections with fellow childfree Black women. We will chill hard and laugh harder! Don’t wait - space is limited - so REGISTER TODAY!
Hosted by Dr. Angela L. Harris
