52. Dr. Laura Buchinger on Life Satisfaction and The Kids or Childfree Choice The Kids or Childfree Podcast · Episode

I talked with Keltie Maguire about common concerns and ideas people have around parenthood, being childfree, or childless—and whether these beliefs are backed by empirical evidence. Her podcast is a great resource for hearing different perspectives on this decision. open.spotify.com/episode/6Szy...

Good news for #childlesscatladies : similar life satisfaction from 18-65 with or without kids. Childless people experienced better mental health and fewer negative emotions than parents. Only fathers (but not mothers) felt less lonely than their childless peers.
