Hi guys, welcome back to step by step, the podcast where we talk all about living a better life

holistically. And today's episode is going to be kind of an interesting one. I'm sure you saw the

title, Why I don't want to have kids ever. It's not clickbait. Like I seriously don't. I did a whole

video about the child free movement about a year ago. And in this video, I talked about it more

objectively, just why other people aren a year ago. And in this video, I talked about it more objectively,

just why other people aren't having kids. And I do think it's pretty interesting. If you want to

watch it, it's like a 30, 40 minute commentary video on my main channel, and I'll link it below.

But we go into a lot of the stats of why a lot of people aren't having kids. At that time,

I still felt a little nervous to share

my own thoughts. So that's why I spoke more objectively on it and didn't say my stance, really,

at all. And now it's been a year since I made that video. And I've been thinking about this for so

long. I'm 30 years old. I think I can own my choice now. And that is that I prefer to live a child-free

life. I really do. I feel like by this age, you kind of know. We're going to talk about why I don't

want to have kids. It wasn't like a random decision that I made. I felt this way, seriously,

all my life. Like, I've never wanted to have kids. Let's just let's just get into it.

Okay. So I'm not anti-kid. I think that if you want to have kids, do it. You'll probably be

really fulfilled. If you want to have kids and you have them, you probably will. But I also think if you

don't want to have kids and you have them due to

societal pressures, you probably won't be that fulfilled. I mean, you might be.

The point of this whole thing is, this is a personal choice. This is the first time really in

history that it's finally accepted to make this choice. The only reason that this movement hasn't come sooner

is because women haven't had this much independence until now.
