I had the pleasure of speaking with WNYC’s Brian Lehrer this morning about what it means to be childless-not-by-choice. I really appreciated the space he created for this conversation and I was touched by the courage of the callers who spoke openly and publicly about their own stories. It was a beautiful 20 minutes and it reminded me that none of us is alone on this journey.
You can hear the segment here:
Also, I understand that there were several more callers to the show that didn’t make it on air. If you’ve found your way here, please get in touch, either through the comments or the contact page. I also encourage you to visit the community pages, as that’s a safe, password-protected place to talk to other people and get support.
Thanks to everyone who helped make this conversation happen, and to you, for your support and encouragement.
That was really good Lisa, I feel so much more supported since joining this site, I hope those callers join here too.
I will listen as soon as I get the chance. Well done, and I hope many that didn’t know about this site before find it now!
Great job, Lisa! 🙂 Between you & the callers, I think you covered a lot of important points in a very short time. And while I appreciate what I’ve been reading about Meaghan & her book, I’m also glad the host/station decided to look beyond the straight childfree perspective and acknowledge there are many reasons why people might not have children.
I loved the interview.
Thanks for sharing it.
Great interview Lisa. I really felt for those women who called in. You could hear their pain.
