Earlier this week I was invited to join a conversation about “No-Mos: Women who aren’t having children” for CBC’s Day 6 radio show. I was joined by Melanie Notkin, author of Otherhood, and Laura Scott, who heads the Childless-by-Choice Project.
I am enormously grateful to the show’s host for providing this space for an intelligent conversation about the realities of being a childless woman in our society, and to my co-interviewees for speaking out so articulately on this topic.
You can catch the show today on CBC 1 at 10 am (10:30 am NT) or Sunday at 1 am. It’s also on Sirius XM today at 10 am ET and 7 pm ET, and Sunday at 6 am ET. You can also listen the segment podcast here.
Thank you Lisa! I am a regular listener to The Current on cbc radio and I just listened to your interview . I am from a small community in saskatchewan, canada and it can feel isolating for a single 38 year old with no children. I am not sure the 1 in 5 statistic is prevalent in this conservative community but so happy to have found this community of people in a similar life circumstance. Now I have to catch up on all the old blog posts!
THANK YOU! I really enjoyed the interview and wished it was longer he he…
Thanks for sharing, Lisa! 🙂 Excellent interview — intelligent questions and you all made some great points. I was listening to this in the kitchen & dh walked in near the end — he thought it was good too, especially the points about men.
One more reason why I love the CBC. 😉
