This week on The Labia Lounge podcast I invited Ruby Warrington (the author of Women Without Kids - The Revolutionary Rise of an Unsung Sisterhood) on to take a deep dive into the complexities of women's decisions surrounding motherhood. We explore the societal pressures, judgment, and stigma faced by women who choose not to become mothers, where they're either seen as sadly childless (insert: barren, infertile, unable to have children, lonely and purposeless) OR selfishly child-free (insert more assumptions and judgements: heartless, narcissistic, abnormal, lacking basic maternal, nurturing instincts...)Throughout the episode, we discuss the personal and nuanced decision-making process behind not having children, the societal expectations placed on women, and the impact of intergenerational trauma. We also touch on the societal benefits of not everyone having children and the broader implications of declining birth rates worldwide.From the societal impact of the 0rgasm gap and men's 0rgasmic entitlement, to "child-free by climate change" and other existential reflections around bringing kids into the world we now live in, this episode tackles thought-provoking topics and encourages listeners to question traditional narratives around motherhood and female fulfillment. Join us as we delve into meaningful conversations about womanhood, conditioning and external pressures to blindly follow along with the default expectation that all women should automatically become mothers, instead of carefully considering this as one of, if not THE, biggest and most impactful decision of one's life!Check out Ruby's work here: https://www.rubywarrington.com/Plus you can expect all the usual antics and hilarious, vulnerable n' relatable personal stories and signature segments that you've come to know and love here in The Labia Lounge!Make sure you're subscribed for more LL action, and it'd absolutely warm my heart and tickle my clit if you'd leave a gushing review or five star rating for the poddy!*** Join my Labia Lounge Facebook group for extra content, Q & As, freebies from my guests, discounts and to be part of a rad and supportive community of labial legends! www.facebook.com/groups/thelabialounge/Get my FREE mini-course P*ssy Pleasure Secrets - Your Roadmap to Bedroom Bliss here: https://freya-graf.xperiencify.io/expiring-mini-course/order/Grab a P*ssy Magnet and check out the new Labia Lounge MERCH over here (there's even fanny packs if the standard tote bags and tees ain't cuttin' it for ya!): https://www.freyagraf.com/productsonline-trainingsAnd chuck me a follow here: https://www.instagram.com/freyagraf_thelabialounge/AND here: (my backup account cos I keep offending the Algorithms-that-be) https://www.instagram.com/freya.graf/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@freyagraf?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcAnd on my YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/LtyN8BQg-zkOr support me and the poddy by buying me an extra hot soy chai latte (yes, that is my coffee order cos I'm a bit of a tosser like that) here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/freyagraf Hosted on Acast.
