Erin Spurling is on a mission to change the conversation for and about women who are embracing a childfree lifestyle, whether that’s by choice or circumstance. Erin is a writer and music journalist, who set up Curiously Childfree as a platform to cultivate positive, understanding and judgement-free conversations.

In this chat, Erin shares her experience of being in a heterosexual childfree couple, and how she is often treated differently from her partner. We talk about the importance of community and why Erin is refusing to fulfil the trope of being angry or bitter, hating parents and children, having a lonely life, or thinking her life is better than someone else.
