"SO, DO YOU HAVE KIDS?" That question with a stranger or acquaintance, that, whether you are childfree or childless suddenly becomes a social minefield for you to navigate your way out of. Today, I'm speaking with Lisa Kissane, founder of Flow, about this one simple, yet often dreaded question. We talk about the social implications, the challenges of handling it and how to instigate BETTER and more insightful conversations.

Thanks to a slight issue in the post-edit suite there is no intro for this episode, so allow me to share one here... I have never really given a huge amount of thought as to the financial opportunities that not having children will enable ( aside from knowing that I would simply have more money to spend!). So when i was contacted by Bri, who wanted to come on the podcast to talk about Childfree Wealth, the specialist financial planning organisation for childfree people, I was very interested to learn more. This episode was extremely enlightening for me, and gave me a lot of food for thought.

In not having children, we are all free to choose how we want to spend our money (and our lives), and Childfree Wealth can support in this. You can read more about them at
