And 'I have always wondered about my friend/neighbor/co-worker, but did not know how to ask.' Well honestly, I would only wa...

Timeline, 21st Century Hannah

Timeline, 21st Century Hannah, is the name of this episode. Why? Well, it's been on my mind the last few weeks to get my timeline together. I felt like I might have been confusing you about the number of surgeries, at the very least. To be honest, I did not even know if it mattered, if I added the timeline, but why not? And then as I gathered my records and went through the dates, which lead to the number of surgeries; realizing it was a decade or so of waiting and hoping.  Well, that was ...

Hello everyone!  Thank you so much for stopping by once again! I believe you are going to love this episode!

Childless not by Choice, Reshell Smith interview: Finance for Women Around the World

Hello everyone! Thanks for stopping by! In this episode, I interview Reshell Smith on the subject of finance for women around the world.

By the Numbers, Childless not by Choice

Hello everyone! Thanks for stopping by! In this episode I talk about childlessness by the numbers. And for the first time I address the subject of infertility.

Childless Not by Choice From a Man's Point of View, with fellow Podcaster Dr. Vibe

This is a conversational blab interview with fellow Podcaster, award winning Dr. Vibe. It was such an honor to have Dr. Vibe co-host with me. I could not think of a better person to help get the word out about childlessness not by choice, from a man's point of view. This subject-matter of men childless not by choice is just as tough as women childless not by choice, just in a different way; because men and women act and react differently to adversity. But the hurt is the same. Please feel ...

Men and childlessness not by choice, my interview with Donald Brant

It was truly a great opportunity to obtain this interview with Donald Brant. This is our first ever interview where childlessness not by choice is discussed from and with a man's point of view.  In listening to this interview you will find that although men may typically not show their emotions, they of course have the same feelings we women do. We all know there are men and women who opted not to have children. But just as there are women who wanted but could not have children, there are m...

My Interview with Traci Nichols, Childless not by Choice

This is a previously posted podcast interview that I did with Traci Nichols. In this interview, we discuss the path that took her to childless not by choice.  Many times we think of how our bodies may have failed us when we think childless not by choice. But some women arrive at childless not by choice via a medical mishap.  That is what Traci and I will discuss in this episode.  I am re-posting this episode because I loved this interview but at the time did not have the option of adding my...
