Ep 98: HerStory: Sandra Oh

As we wrap up Season 4 and our official 200th episode, we wanted to thank all of you for the continued support you've given us and being part of the community that we always wanted to foster. Whether we had a few listeners or hundreds, you showed up every week as we continued putting out episodes for the Childfree and Fencesitter communities! As we've always said, people change and that's ok because growth should be continuous. So with that, we hope you continue to show up for and support Claiming Zero as Vanessa takes the podcast reigns and moves it into a new chapter. Thank you all!Support the showEmail: [email protected]/FB: @claimingzero

On today’s episode we have the joy of chatting with Day 1 listener, Nia! She’s a dance teacher so of course her and Daliyce had a great time nerding out about dance (apologies in advance 🙂). We even got a surprise visit from her husband!Support the showEmail: [email protected]/FB: @claimingzero

On today’s episode, Vanessa takes us through the life of a man many people around the world, both religious and not, know (of). He’s been a humble carpenter, Jewish preacher, and religious leader but he’s never been a father!Title: Did Jesus Exist?

On today’s episode we’re heading into the future. Daliyce came across the subreddit r/Futurology where a user posted an article that discusses the offers of incentives around the world to try to raise fertility rates. As we find out, the incentives aren’t really working and are more proof the Childfree community cannot be bought!Support the showEmail: [email protected]/FB: @claimingzero

One of the big reasons for this podcast is to foster community for people who are childfree and fencesitters. In today’s episode, we’re sharing our experiences in meeting childfree people in the real world and how to find people in your local communities! While we encourage you to go out and meet new friends, we remind you to be safe and trust yourself when meeting people from the internet. Support the showEmail: [email protected]/FB: @claimingzero

Today our guest is Dr Nicole McGraw! She lives in Michigan and is a Childfree Ob/Gyn who happily advocates for her childfree community. When she’s not supporting all the women who come to her practice, she’s finding calm and peace with yoga! We encourage you to reach out to Nicole @coleymcgrawSupport the showEmail: [email protected]/FB: @claimingzero

Today Daliyce is sharing the life and mostly unknown legacy of Maurine Dallas Watkins. She had a passion for writing and spent 8 months writing for the Chicago Tribune that included covering some sensational murder trials. Little did she know this would inspire a play, a few movies, and a broadway musical! This is also a story of how you really can't control your legacy after you're gone.Support the showEmail: [email protected]/FB: @claimingzero

On today's episode, Vanessa is sharing a Reddit post from r/Fencesitters. The topic has us talking about the regret some fencesitters may face after spending so much time on the fence, sitting with their indecision and what happens/how you feel when you finally “decide”. Surprisingly, we're also discussing why being 70 isn't really that old!Support the showEmail: [email protected]/FB: @claimingzero

Today's episode is all about how Daliyce and Vanessa have been spending their Childfree holidays this season. From gathering with likeminded friends to sharing Christmas morning with family, there's a lot of different ways to spend your holidays. Happy New Year 2025! Support the showEmail: [email protected]/FB: @claimingzero
