Description: Welcome to Ditch the Ick, a podcast about navigating single life in these unprecedented times.

Episode recommendation: I’m the guest on today’s episode of Ditch the Ick! Dating, marriage, and life in general is a different beast when you're childfree and we don't have a lot of healthy examples of that in pop culture, so I'm grateful for every opportunity to provide one to a new audience. Enjoy episode 38: Childfree by Choice: Breaking free of societal norms to build the life you want.
