What to expect when your friends are expecting
About this episode
The episode discusses the complex feelings childfree individuals experience when their friends become parents and offers community support and advice.
We spill the childfree tea on the complicated feelings that come up when we find out our friends are pregnant. It’s something almost all of us will face at some point - so we surveyed the childfree community to get the truth about the topic! Then, in a re-released Ask WAC chat, we rally round a couple whose friend groups are now full of parents, with little time for anything but their kids. This is such a tricky problem, so we tapped the We are Childfree community hive mind for some stellar support and amazing advice! If you’d like more support making and keeping friends, you can join Zoë and a small group of childfree cheerleaders for a live workshop to feel seen, supported, and connected - especially when your friendships are shifting 🤗 Links Childfree Cheer Camp Presents: Navigating Friendships 🤗 Survey: Navigating Friendships 🤗 Help us help you!
